$100,000 GREATER HARTFORD OPEN
Bradley Bowl, Windsor Locks, Conn., Apr 13-17, 1982
Familiar Name, New Champion
The name Weber has appeared on top of PBA tournament final standings 26 times over the years, representing the number of titles owned by the legendary Dick Weber. Pete Weber made it one more in the $100,000 Greater Hartford Open as he and his dad became the first father-son combination to claim tour championships.
The 19-year-old Weber came from third place, rolling 674 for three matches including a 210-199 final-game win over Pete McCordic, who also was shooting for his first victory. Weber had fallen behind in the match after missing a 3-10 split in the seventh frame before rallying with four straight strikes. McCordic needed a 10th frame double to pull it out but left a 7-pin on his first attempt.

I love the look on Holman's face in the opener. He was in a staring contest with the camera.
Thank you so much for posting this. I love that you're keeping the memory of Jeff Mattingly alive. I've read he was a wonderful guy.
What a great final match. There was nothing like watching bowling on Saturdays, Then watching Wide World of Sports with the legendary Jim McKay. That promo for the American Sportsman brought back many great memories of watching that show with the equally legendary Curt Gowdy. Thanks for the video.
I remember watching this when it aired. There was so much emotion and much relief expressed by both Pete and DeeDee Weber.
ONE OF MANY WIFES PDW had... 3 and counting. Dee dee was #1
I met pdw the other day at a pba50 event. hes really nice
Did you talk Pro- Wrestling with Mr. Sunday afternoon.[" P. D. W. ] ?? Pete is a Huge Wrestling Fan. So is Brian Bogosian [ won A.B.C. MASTERS As An Amateur] i met him in Wallington Lanes in NJ about a month After His Awesome MASTERS WIN!!! And we Talked Pro Wrestling for about 2 Hours.😂😂😂
The date was April 16th, 1982, and a 19-year-old Pete Weber was at the Pro-Am the night before the finals for the Greater Hartford Open. In his last game, he lost to a 12-year-old kid. Before all this, he'd started calling all the kids "fucking brats" by the 6th frame, and at the end of it, every other word was an F-bomb. Another professional, Steve Cook, a 6'7" giant from Northern California, grabbed him by the hand and took him outside to calm him down. Only then did Pete go back and shake the kid's hand, who by the way was 6 inches taller despite being 7 years younger. That 12 year old kid was an older friend of mine. So yes, my buddy is 1-0 vs Pete Weber.
Such a cool broadcast for many reasons. Weber's first win, but also I think about McCordic's perseverance. Some guys might have stopped touring after several years of near-misses. He stuck around until his 300 in '87, and then finally won twice in '88. I almost feel like telling McCordic in this broadcast, "Don't worry, your time will come, maybe not next year, or the next even,..."
RED BURHAM... WHAT A GREAT GUY AT BRADELY BOWL.... LOVED WINDSOR LOCKS...
Another super video, Mr. B! Awesome quality, too!
“Young Weber.” How many times did Bo say that?
That close up introduction of Miserable Holman was epic. Like someone just woke him up after smoking a qp of weed
I remember watching the pros there back in the day..
RIP Kenny Hall
The title match was exciting and close
I like KABC-7.
Pete weber prevails when pete mccordic left the 7 pin on his first shot in the tenth frame to win the greater Hartford open

I know this Was Bowled over 40 years ago, but you spoilers make me happy to see [ COMMENTS DISABLED]
38:40, like the untimely recent passing of PBA Bowler Tony Reyes, Jeff Mattingly died at an early age as well as a result of an auto accident in the late 80s.
PBA WENT DOWNHILL ONCE IT LEFT ABC ON SATURDAY AFTERNOONS.. ITS NOT THE SAME.. SINCE... SUPERSTARS EVERY WEEK.. HOLMAN.. ANTHONY.. ROTH... THEY WERE THE BEST
i knew pete would win in the final match!!
3:37 he almost got a Brooklyn!
Do you have the Denver open from 1982?
Andrew Phillips why, do you want to ruin the outcome?
It’s an absolute sin what the corporation has done to Bradley Bowl.
I go with Pete weber in match 2 and match 3 and title match
Marshall Holman talkin shit and taunting Jeff Bellinger before hand, then dumps one in the channel during a critical moment and gets his ass handed to him. What a 🔧
Creep holeman
3:05 update...watch Holman saying something to Bellinger. Id bet he's saying something about his shit talking at the open, just drumming up some tension and excitement, because he shakes his hand twice after a speech.
So nice to see Holman lose. The announcers took A LOT of liberties here when talking about him VERY biased towards him which is SO perverse. They call him a nice guy?! Well if arrogant, hot tempered people who are sore losers are nice in your book then whatever but do not claim we ALL love him because many of us do not appreciate the way he acts at all.
The only one that can compete in those character defects is P. Weber. Did not watch the last 2 games......
Dying sport...I don't know what happened nationwide, but I know what happened here. In the 70s, there were 5 competing bowling alleys in Ontario/Pomona. Games were $0.75, except they often ran specials, and the bowling alley in ghetto Pomona was $0.50. Then they all joined a consortium called Active West, and set their prices to $2.50. Most families couldn't afford to bowl, it was cheaper to go to disneyland. Those kids who didn't bowl grew up to be adults who don't care about bowling.
only one of those bowling centers remains today. Active West was horrible. l used to boycott them.
23:00 - PDW with 17 300s in PBA competition in three years. Wow! Wonder how many he ended up with in the PBA?
Regardless of total titles and what people think of his temper and/or personal issues, he truly is for my money the greatest of all time. Had he been able to control his demons better, he'd likely have the most wins.
@@tsnide34 I think he definitely would've been up around 47 or possibly even more. Also, when resin came out he struggled for some time with that and had his worst year on Tour around that time.
Holman likewise, should've won 35+ easily but for his poor mental outlook at various stages.
@@Igloo3471 For sure. I think Marshall's biggest challenge, aside from adapting to resin, was simply his TV record. Whether spare shooting, adapting to different conditions the TV lights caused, or the mental game, I'm not sure. But his win percentage was simply too low for someone of his talent.
Back to Weber, he succeeded in the plastic era (ROY, many 300s, cashes, and TV appearances), urethane, and resin. Although , as you say, it took him a little to adapt to resin, but he sure did.
