Worked as a pinchaser at one of Jerry Ray's other Austin bowling centers Jan.-Aug. 1992 (it was called Capitol Bowl at the time). Was given the choice to work at Highland Lanes but chose the other house because the manager Bill Mortensen and I hit it off really well in the job interview. He was a great boss and I had fun working there. Dale Holloway and Cliff Jones were also great guys to work with (not to mention awesome bowlers...Bill too). Miss those days in Austin! One of my top 3 favorite cities!

When PBA coverage didnt rush the winner off the lanes to get to some talking head in a studio talking about what color LeBron prefers for underwear.

Devers had one of the strangest looking arm swings for a bowler.. Man Voss was throwing it so well he could have shot 300 in the title match.

Brian Voss puts a tremendous amount of roll on the ball.

The second and semi final matches were exciting and close

Your comments are repetitive and unnecessary

[@andrewphillips1011]

Do you have the treasure coast senior open?

[@JSmith-zr2ve]

So you can ruin that one too?

[@andrewphillips1011]

Brian Voss was in the zone to win the Columbia 300 open?

Loser

Was this pre reactive resin? Looks like it

91, it must be

@@LowEnd31st. I've been trying to figure out Bohn's ball too. Reactive didn't start until I think late 92. With both the X-Caliber and Purple Rhino Pro. I'm think that's just a shiny regular urethane Bruswick Rhino. But I'm almost positive it's not reactive.

I'm almost positive it's pre reactive. Reactive balls didn't come on market until I till I think later 92 with both the X-Caliber and purple Rhino Pro.

@@bobapep20 It was a purple Rhino urethane that had some polish on it. The purple Rhino Pro didn't come out until 1992.
