Last month I uploaded a post on how bowling can come back from this Covid-imposed shutdown by replicating a promotion from the past and updating it for toady’s times. In that previous post I referenced that my inspiration for reviving a past promotion came from the announcement of last month’s Champions For Charity golf match between Tiger Woods/Peyton Manning and Phil Mickelson/Tom Brady, which was a huge ratings success for several networks and corporate sponsors.
When I corresponded with PBA Commissioner Tom Clark it seems that he had similar ideas and so I’m happy to report that PBA Bowling action will be back starting June 6th with some special events for the fans which will be televised on various FOX Sports channels.
Here is the current schedule:
PBA Strike Derby

When: Saturday, June 6, 7-9 pm ET

PBA Summer Clash
Where: Bowlero Jupiter, FL
When: Saturday, June 13, 6-8 pm ET

PBA King of the Lanes

This is great to see. In the words of my grandfather Andy Varipapa, “Keep ‘em Rolling!”
