celebrity invitational

[bdpeters]

not sure if this qualifies for this board but did anyone watch the PBA celebrity invitational yesterday? I started watching it on youtube this morning. and found it interesting to watch non pro's bowl.

I found that I DVR'd it, and deleted it without watching it. I think that it's a very sad commentary on modern bowling where the PBA offers so few opportunities to watch the world's top bowlers, and yet will waste our time showing a bunch of basketball players who don't have a clue how to bowl. Just my opinion.

interesting take on this. one possible plus, maybe more people will be interested in bowling. since I do not subscribe to any cable or sat provider I get to only watch online. back in the 80's watching the pros was part of my routine every saturday morning.

Just about every major event is on youtube these days.

I decided to watch Gladiator instead.

I had it DVR'd. Watched for about 20 minutes, and deleted it.

My point was that it wasn't worth watching.

Well it sure appeared to me you made the point that it's hard to watch the worlds top bowlers when in reality almost every event is broadcast in some form or another.

Also, there were very few basketball players represented in the celebrity invitational this year. And actually some of the guys are quite good. Mookie Betts bowled a 300 in the 2017 World Series of Bowling back in November.

I just enjoyed watching Sara Rash with her wine right up front.

One, if there’s a chance to watch both Pete Weber and Norm Duke, at least part of it is worth watching.
Two, the doubles game was fairly good bowling. Norm was dialed in. Bill O’Neill was getting a good read off his teammates shots. Mookie Betts had one bad frame where he either did not adjust after leaving a 4 pin in the seventh, or just did not make a big enough move. Chris Paul was mostly lucky.
