Remember it like yesterday. I was on leave from the Marines and I took the free bus ride to Atlantic City. I went to the showboat to gamble not knowing there was a bowling tournament downstairs. I became a huge PDW fan that day after watching him get hot as a firecracker!
What happened to the bowling tournaments from the 1950,s? Wood lanes and black rubber balls! The pros from those days were excellent athletics! I had an opportunity to join the tour instead went into The USAF. I miss them even today 70 years later.
When an accomplished basketball player in the PBA says "a lot" of the other bowlers aren't athletes he obviously just means they're not basketball, football, baseball, soccer, hockey, track and field, boxing, wrestling, tennis, golf, swimming, bicycling, etc. etc. athletes. NASCAR racing is more physically demanding than bowling is so I'd say "athletics" is no more descriptive of bowling than car racing.
Im friends with Husteds Son. We bowled juniors against each other a decade plus ago. Dave still owns a 24 lane center in Milwaukee, Oregon, suburb of Portland. Husted is a Legend -14 titles.
Milwaukie. And yeah, Milwaukie Bowl was a spot we loved to go to when I visited and briefly lived up in PDX. Used to go there and Old Chicago afterward. At least the lanes are still open
Charles Harred 1. I do it because it’s convenient for me. 2. I’ve been single my whole life and I’m damn proud of it 3. I do have a bigger right hand...because I BOWL, go look at Ryan Ciminelli and then get back to me 4. It’s really weird that you’re saying those things to a 17 year old
@@thomasmccarrick4169 Question what do you achieve in doing what you do? None that's what you do it because you can and you know you're safe. Advice stop being a 17 yr old smart ass. Now have a nice day youngster.
Charles Harred I’m not trying to achieve anything, there are times where I don’t have the patience to watch an entire hour and a half telecast from 20-30 years ago, these are just post-it notes.
Won it 5 TIMES, and finished second once. And the only man to do it in four consecutive decades. So for someone to do that, in what is probably the toughest tournament on Tour, is indeed something special.
Atlantic City was always a dump. There were the casinos front and center, but to get to most of the casinos, you had to drive through impoverished and crime-infested areas. Even on the boardwalk after dark, if you weren't with a group of friends or you didn't know the area (or have a bit of street-smarts), you took your life in your hands. In 1994, the year the held the last PBA Eastern Regional tournament, I had stopped at a convenience store. Some guy asked me to help him go around the corner and help him jump-start his car. I told him to call either AAA or ACPD. He had asked several people the same thing. Next day, on my way to the Showboat, I went back to that area and took a look around that corner. It was a back alley. Wouldn't have fit a car.
@@raycampbell162 Got a Trump AC story for you, Ray. Atlantic City has dealt with its fair share of corruption for years. It was no different when Trump opened his casinos. The Police department's patrol cars were in such bad shape, Trump offered to outfit the entire PD with brand new vehicles. There was a catch. On the bumpers, the cars would say "Furnished from a 'Grant' by Donald J. Trump." That did not fly well with the city or for that matter, with the State.
I hate seeing professionals at this level miss single pin spares. At this skill level a spare should be a virtual GUARANTEE if its only ONE PIN. Weber probably owes his victory to that sad waste of a shot.
Synthetic approaches. One of the stupidest inventions ever to grace the game of bowling. Cause of endless knee injuries and loss of bowlers associated with it.
Showboat AC had one of the most notorious synthetic approaches that I ever bowled on. Older Brunswick System 2000 synthetics. A lot of uneven seams in the approaches.

Became a Holman fan after this tournament
I was 12 when this aired
I was 2.
Mark Baker nailed 5 different broads this particular week. I roomed with Husted this swing
Mark Baker says the other bowlers aren't athletes!? I beg to differ.
Are chess players athletes?
@@JP-wx6uh bowl 56 games on that lane condition and come back to me…

I must admit, the players who lost their matches in this telecast all had major league carry issues!

That's cool

Still Bowling for
same $ 100,000
Holman and Weber were two of the best bowlers, but always displayed their worst behavior when on TV.
could ever imagine chris bitd ever saying a hambone. the purple angle was today's purple hammers lol
Pete weber and Marshall Holman have excellent matches
Andrew Phillips how excellent were they?
I like KABC-7.
1:03:51 that what?
Didn't know Mark Baker loved himself so much.
😂 😂
That's crazy how they were already calling PDW one of the greatest bowlers of all-time way back in 1988.
Pete weber was in the zone as he climbed the ladder to win the us open
Andrew Phillips asshole
David Husted had no luck at all on 59&60.
Holeman: such a Richard.
Pete Weber: 245
Dave Husted: 201
Pete Weber: 245
Mark Baker: 205
Pete Weber: 237
Ryan Shafer: 179
Pete Weber: 203
Marshall Holman: 171
Weber Wins!
Thomas McCarrick asshole
He does this on them All thanks it's funny probably single and a large right hand
Charles Harred
1. I do it because it’s convenient for me.
2. I’ve been single my whole life and I’m damn proud of it
3. I do have a bigger right hand...because I BOWL, go look at Ryan Ciminelli and then get back to me

Pete Weber does bowl really well in the U.S. Open
Won it 5 TIMES, and finished second once. And the only man to do it in four consecutive decades. So for someone to do that, in what is probably the toughest tournament on Tour, is indeed something special.
1988 500,000 you could fully pay off two houses in LA
What a great moment for DW to embrace hiz zon az he won a U* Open. Can only imagine how he felt!
1:21:35 Marshall wasn't fooling around.

It's too bad Atlantic City is a dump now with not many casinos and hotels left
It must have been Trump owned.

Ditch the commercials.

Mark baker was robbed!! That game should’ve been a lot closer!!
