This week I bowled the PBA50 World Series of Bowling at JAX60 , in Jackson, Michigan. Owner Dave Small and his staff take a lot of pride in their center and really go above and beyond to do so much for everyone to have such a pleasant experience !! Personally I had a “so so” week. I did cash in the main event ( 24 games over 3 days on 3 different patterns ). My best event was day 1 where I qualified 5th out of 163 for the Round of 16 Match Play Finals thanks to games 2,3,4 of 820. Then In Match Play , I won my first match , unfortunately lost my second match to a red hot Tony Oliva. I finished 6th. On this 36 foot pattern I used my Hammer Black Pearl Urethane and Envy Tour Solid. I’ve decided to take this next week off and reset out west with my wife and daughter to visit Family. Very much looking forward to Vancouver Island !! My next and last PBA50 National Event of the season will be the Tournament of Champions in Akron , Ohio the week of Aug 12. I’ve been looking forward to this event since I won my 1st PBA Title in March of 2023. Missed it last year due to injury. Much thanks again to Brands of Brunswick Tour Reps Jeff Johnson and Tom Carter for their help this week. Thanks to my sponsors BRUNSWICK , TURBO GRIPS and COMPASS SPORTSWEAR.

This past Easter Weekend weekend I bowled the PBA50 Sherry Bodkins Memorial Central Open in Galion , Ohio. I bowled A squad on Saturday then had to wait to see if I advanced. I snuck into the cut of top 12 for the Sunday Round Robin Match Play in 12th. A lot of work was ahead of me to do to move up. I lost my first match 279-233 to my roommate for the weekend , buddy Donald Hogue. Then I won the next 11 matches averaging 238 on the day.
Only 20 pins separated 1st thru 3rd in the final position round game. I was 2nd going in , Leading was Tom Adcock. I beat Tom 255-205 to Clinch my 3rd PBA Regional Title. Congratulations to Tom Adcock for a great tournament and Leading most of the tournament !

Thank you so much to Laurie Rinehart and Ken Bodkins and both the Bodkins & Rinehart families for everything they do , was a fantastic event !!
