The bowling balls of today and the lane maintenance crews make it very difficult for the modern day professional. In sports, if you snooze, you lose. Tennis, golf, baseball, even hockey have made advances in their equipment that have revolutionized the game. Why should bowling be any different. We hear the nay-sayers say the sport is too easy.
Averages are too high and there are too many honor scores.
Yet, we see Randy Pedersen leave a solid eight pin and lose. The high average league bowlers are enjoying themselves, regardless of what a few might think. And, when they think they are good enough for the tour they give it a shot. It's cruel out there. The vast majority of those league bowlers find out real soon that the best of the best is on tour.
