There is a new PBA Pattern Sweeper Series staring on Suday 11-18-07 and will run through march.  Check in starts at 12:30 pm, and the start time is 1:00 pm.  This will be the same oil conditions that are used each week on the PBA Tour including the major patterns.  There is a 1 in 5 cash ratio and it only costs $25 for a 4 game tournament.  The tournament is in York, PA at the Colony Park Lanes North on Pensylvania Ave. off Route 30.  Come out and support the PBA Experience in the York area.

I just wanted to update that I will be at the Wednesday night Pro-Am for the Lumber Liquidators Championship on Dec. 5th in Baltimore at 7:00 pm.  I hope to see all of the current PBA stars.  I got to meet a few of them in August when they were in York, Pa for the Eastern Region Open which happens the same weekend of the Bowler's Supply Trade Show.  I got to meet Ryan Shafer, Chris Barnes, Tommy Jones, Brian Himmler, Brian Kretzer, Bill Oatman, Pete Weber, Bill O'Neill, Jim Tomek, Tom Baker, Dave D'Entremont, Michael Fagan, and Liz Johnson.  I am hoping to talk with them about lane conditions and the transitioning of them.  I have started to really work on my game and try to take it to the next level.  There will be a 20 or so week tournament series in which there will be the same lane condition that is used on the PBA Tour that week as the tournament.  I am going to bowl in them to get the experience on these conditions and some day bowl in a Regional Event or even a PTQ.
