$125,000 INDIANAPOLIS OPEN
Woodland Bowl, Indianapolis, Ind., Oct 23-27, 1984
Aulby Hometown Winner
Mike Aulby snapped a three-year winless stretch by coming through with a 729 three-game series and downing three opponents in the $125,000 Indianapolis Open.
Aulby, the hometown favorite, stopped Jim Murtishaw, 247-169, and Bob Handley, 268-225, to go Into the title game against Mark Baker, who had earned the top-seeded position by 404 pins.
Baker opened in the first two frames to trail by 43 pins, but managed to close the gap. Stepping up in the 10th frame, Baker needed a double and nine to beat Aulby's posted score of 214, but fell victim to a 6-7-9-10 split to finish with 191. It was Aulby's fifth PBA title, but his first since winning the Canadian Open in 1981.

I'm a Hoosier native, and a lefty to boot....but I grew up watching Hooking Bob destroy the pinheads. No slant to M.A., I would always try to imitate B.H.'s style. Thanks for sharing!!!✌️
Liked the commentary by Mr Earl Anthony 🎯
I won the Jr Pro Am during the week of this tournament.. Bowled with Mark Baker .. Thanks for posting.. I see my Dad and I setting in the stands...
43:00 Great conversion for Handley
"That's half a dozen, cousin!" Jay Randolph
Thanks so much for posting this...I've been looking for this forever!!!!
I love anything with Mike Aulby. Thanks for the great post!
--From what I can glean from googling his name, Jim Murtishaw had an interesting career in bowling, most of his income coming from his pro shop. It was sad to see him fall apart in his game against Aulby, starting when he missed the head pin in the 4th. Aulby really stepped on his neck after that. Experience means so much. Anyway, he started senior's tour 2009 after his son got interested in bowling. His 70s stroke style can really benefit from every-ball-is-a-tank modern equipment.
I often found it interesting the guys on tour back then wearing all those gizmos and widgets just for the bonus money when appearing on TV. Most of that stuff didn't do squat for their game. If anything, it would have hindered their game. I know most of them altered those gizmos and widgets so that it wouldn't.

The wrist guards had a metal plate that they took out. All those devices are garbage. I don't use any of it.

Andrew Phillips Mark Roth and Earl Anthony have bowled some exciting matches George N. Pappas and Ernie Schlegel have bowled some awesome matches
another GREAT post 300.....THANKS!
3-4-6-7-10 then was almost unheard of. Nice split conversion by Bob though.
If you did not know any better, you would have thought that Tami Aulby was bowling instead of Mike. She was on camera almost as much as he was. But, can you blame the director, she was a gorgeous woman. Great bowling. Jay and Earl did the job they were paid to do. Were these two as good as Chris and Nelson? No, in my very humble experience. Chris and Nelson had years of broadcast experience under their belts compared to Jay/Earl.
Yes she was! I second that. I had the pleasure of meeting during my brief time on tour. Her and Mike are very nice people too.
1. thank you for all these past telecasts 2. Did NBC draw decent ratings for the fall PBA events?

I like KNBC.
Mike Aulby prevails when Mark Baker left the 6 7 9 10 split on his first shot in the 10th frame to win the Indianapolis Open in front of his hometown crowd

You’re a tool.
Gupp..
Wasn't Aulby's wife smoking hot???
Also, love watching Hooking Bob Handley. 42:48.
Silly threads aside, Guppy was a scrapper. I bet he won a ton on any given night playing for cash with beer league heroes...lol
baker....
