NEWS, NOTES AND HAPPENINGS FROM THE WORLD OF BOWLING /// JUNE 2011 Heroes


The USBC Hall of Fame will welcome six new members on July 1 at the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center in Grapevine,


Texas. While each of the inductees earned his or her place in bowling’s shrine on their own merit, each also had heroes they admired and emulated.


US Bowler asked the six honorees a simple question: AS YOUR BOWLING CAREER BEGAN, WHO WAS YOUR HERO? AND WHY?


Del Ballard, Jr.


Superior Performance MARSHALL HOLMAN. He appeared to hate to lose as much as I did. He showed his emotions on the lanes, and that’s the only way I knew to bowl.


Jeff Richgels Outstanding USBC


Performance MARSHALL HOLMAN because he was one of the best and was by far the most entertaining bowler to watch on Tour. I also admired Earl Anthony and Mark Roth.

Performance


My mum was my bowling hero when I was growing up here in Australia. She represented the state and Australian team in bowling, and I really wanted to


follow in her footsteps. She gave me all the support and was an inspiration (along with my dad) to become very successful at what I loved to do. We ended up bowling together and competing against one another on many occasions.


Also, when I was growing up in Australia I always watched tapes of MARSHALL HOLMAN. He had a great game and such style! What a legend!
