Around 1981 in league bowling at Forest Park lanes in Ft Worth we started hearing about this young 17 year old bowler who was going to be on the pro bowlers tour. Norm Duke.

Gary DIckinson was one of my favorite bowlers back in the day

The big Texan...always seemed like a super good dude. 👍

2:23 a very young Chris Barnes rocking the mullet!

That Purple Beast was absolutely perfect. The shell was reactive but never seemed to want to over react on dry lanes and the core didn't produce much flare, Duke could hit that ball as hard as he wanted and it never over hooked. That must have been like a dream come true for him lol.

What a joy to watch duke!!!!

I LOVE THE OLD PROFESSIONAL BOWLER TOUR LOVE CHRIS HOCH

THE ORIGINAL AIR-DATE WAS ON: SATURDAY FEBRUARY 12, 1994.

the 3 matches were tight and close

Man, Duke threw a big bender during that 300. Whoa. Shows he could go up the lane or whatever was needed. Obviously one of the best to ever do it. Neat seeing a punk kid, Chris Barnes, coming onto the scene. Ron 'Kip' Winger was a sweathog, geeeez. Lol.

Chris Barnes: 216 Ted Hannahs: 194 Norm Duke: 300 Chris Barnes: 190 Norm Duke: 211 Mark Williams: 206 Norm Duke: 226 Walter Ray Williams Jr: 213 Duke Wins! Seniors Ron Winger: 214 John Hricsina: 196 Ron Winger: 266 John Handegard: 216 Ron Winger: 269 Gene Stus: 234 Gary Dickinson: 184 Ron Winger: 164 Dickinson Wins! Challenge Match Gary Dickinson: 269 Norm Duke: 191 Dickinson Wins!

Wow, Duke actually rolled a 300 right beforehand and yet didn't get the bonus because it wasn't part of the live telecast...that kinda sucks.

Choice Hotels took our reservations 6 months in advance, they continued to confirm our reservations on a regular basis even when they knew the hotel was not even finished being built. When we got to the hotel on September 15, 2019 it was still under construction. They continued the horrible behavior and unprofessional conduct by leaving us stranded and homeless on the streets of Boston with no concern what so ever for our care or our safety. Even now they continue to do nothing and are failing to step up to do what is right. The sign outside their closed hotel says, "You cannot rush perfection". Choice Hotels not only is not perfect it is unprofessional, uncaring, has no concern for the well being of their guests and will throw you under the bus as they did us.

Gary Dickinson was in control to win the 25000 Choice Challenge

This video cut off the end of Norm Duke receiving his trophy. I didn't like that.

gary dickinson threw a lot of strikes to win the 25000 choice challenge and the first game when he defeated ron winger and the choice challenge he defeated norm duke

NELSON BURTON JR HOW I DO HOOK WITH A REACTIVATE BOWLING BALL LOVE CHRIS HOCH

AND IT DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO LOOK AT THE 300 GAME THAT'S BULLSHIT COME ON!!! UGH!!!

My God, I hate that intro. Nothing like the classic music of the 70's and 80's.
