I don’t usually blog about my non-bowling visits to my center these days, but felt I had to note something about my trip there on the first day of the 2011 state youth tournament. Ray at one point called me over when he had sight of me and pointed to me a six year old, who I was told bowls out of Ken’s Bowl in Pittsfield, where the state open tournament is this year. He had what Ray termed “unbelieveable form for his age,” taking six steps to the line like Norm Duke and even getting a little hook out of a very light ball. Ray also gave me an opportunity to have a few words with the boy’s father, which I kept brief because I was due to catch the bus home.
I may have just seen the future of tenpin bowling in New England. 😀
