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!

the steve guttenberg commercial at 9:10 of this is maybe the greatest thing ive ever seen

There's the first US open for Pete Weber.. congratulations to you buddy..🎳😎 how time flies.

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

Became a Holman fan after this tournament I was 12 when this aired

I love bowling

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.

Didn't know Mark Baker loved himself so much.

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.

Pete weber and Marshall Holman have excellent matches

That's crazy how they were already calling PDW one of the greatest bowlers of all-time way back in 1988.

What a great moment for DW to embrace hiz zon az he won a U* Open. Can only imagine how he felt!

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.

1:03:51 that what?

Holeman: such a Richard.

1:21:35 Marshall wasn't fooling around.

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.

Freakin Guttenberg.

the player who gets the the breaks always seems to win

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.

Ditch the commercials.

Holman and Weber were two of the best bowlers, but always displayed their worst behavior when on TV.

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

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.
