J o a n Ta y l o r ’ s Te n P i n R a p . . . .
In December of 2000 I wrote about a young man one
year after he had a double lung transplant. He had been
born with Cystic Fibrosis, and after a three-year wait,
he traveled to the University of Pittsburgh Medical
center for the surgery. He was out of bed and walking
three days later.
But that’s not why I interviewed him. He had posted
his first 800 series, an 838 including a 300 game.
Before the surgery, he couldn’t put in a full league
season for the previous five years.
He was approached to bowl in the Transplant
Olympics and did himself proud there, winning his
division. Eventually after the procedure, he rolled his
highest series ever, an 846 to cash in the grueling and
prestigious US Open.
And now we fast-forward and find that in October of
2008 the organs that gave him new life had been fail-
ing, necessitating the process all over again. This time
he said, “It was much rougher. I was on my back in the
hospital for three months and then I needed four
months of physical therapy” But his raw determination
and cards and letters from friends got him back again
to the world of bowling, running a pro shop, and
coaching.
This is Al Jones, 43, who in September of this year
and also one month later, bowled 300 games in his
vacation league at Sparta Lanes. Like Chevy Chase in
“Caddyshack” he doesn’t keep score or records. He
may have had 20 or 200 games of 300. The owner of

return to bowl in PBA Regional competition in the
spring. His highest finish to date has been third, no
small task.
By the way, for his latest perfectos, he used a ball
drilled by…Al Jones. Amazing!
Speaking of amazing, Sandy Turner, who rolled her
first 300 in January of this year, did it again. This time
it was in the Kings and Queens League at Circle Lanes
(her first was at Rockaway Lanes). She rolled 224-
199-300 for a 723 series. Her high to date is 753. She
is still in pursuit of an 800. She was not nervous “and
in fact this time all the strikes were good this time.
Turner, Wharton, celebrated her 25th anniversary in
September with the Hartford Insurance Company. She
again chose a ring for her achievement.

U.S. Women’s Open Revised Again and
Now in Texas for 2010
ARLINGTON, Texas - With a revised format and
live televised finals, the U.S. Women's Open, a
United States Bowling Congress event, will return
in 2010 with the qualifying and match-play rounds
hosted by Cityview Lanes, a 64-lane center in Fort
Worth, Texas.
The competition at Cityview Lanes, which will be
held May 6-11, kicks off a series of major bowling
events in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The 2010
USBC Hall of Fame dinner will take place May 11
at the City Club in downtown Fort Worth, while the
2010 USBC Hall of Fame induction ceremony will
take place May 12 on the grounds of the
International Bowling Campus in Arlington.
Following the Hall of Fame ceremony, the live
televised finals of the U.S. Women's Open will take
place at the International Training and Research
Center in Arlington at 6:30 p.m. CDT on ESPN2.
For the first time since returning in 2007, the U.S.
Women's Open will feature round-robin match play.
Players will compete in three eight-game blocks
from May 7-9 with the top 24 players advancing to
match play May 10-11. The four players with the
best 48-game totals, including match-play bonus
pins, will compete in the live stepladder finals.
"Match play is a traditional part of major bowling
tournaments, and this format is more representative
of a true U.S. Women's Open test," USBC Vice
President of Media Pete Tredwell said. "And having
one live TV finals show instead of five taped TV
finals shows creates additional excitement while
being more cost effective."
Tammy Boomershine of North Ogden, Utah,
topped a field of 170 players, including 59 interna-
tional competitors, to win the 2009 event, which
was held at Strike Zone Bowling Center inside the
Sunset Station Hotel and Casino in Henderson,
Nev.
The qualifying and match play portions of the
2010 U.S. Women's Open will shift to Cityview
Lanes, the largest center in the Dallas-Fort Worth
metroplex.
"This will bring a lot of prestige for us," Cityview
General Manager Bill Blackerby said. "It's an
opportunity for us to show off the new look we
have at the center."
In conjunction with the U.S. Women's Open,
USBC will conduct its Hall of Fame ceremony out-
doors and separate from its annual tournament or
convention venue for the first time.
"Our goals in moving the inductions to Arlington
are to spotlight the new International Bowling
Museum and Hall of Fame and International
Bowling Campus while possibly growing the event
into something big every year," Tredwell said. "The
inspiration for this idea comes from the annual
baseball and pro football ceremonies. Those venues
allow for large crowds and major media coverage.
Plus having it the same day as the U.S. Women's
Open brings more focus to both events."
The Veterans and Meritorious Service part of the
class of 2010 will be announced in November with
the Superior Performance inductees to follow in
December or January.

Lynda Barnes to Retire from
Team USA Program
ARLINGTON, Texas - Lynda Barnes, the most tenured and one of the
most successful bowlers in the history of the Team USA program, will
retire from Team USA at the end of the year.
Barnes of Double Oak, Texas, has been a member of Team USA a
record 12 times and will step aside to spend more time with her family.
"I think it is time to focus more on my life and on my children," said
Barnes, 42, who is married to professional bowling star Chris Barnes
and has twin 7-year-old boys, Ryan and Troy. "When Troy was diag-
nosed with juvenile diabetes last year, it really changed the way I start-
ed to look at things.
"We are now very involved with the Juvenile Diabetes Research
Foundation (JDRF) and that has given me something to focus my
attention on. Plus, I don't want to miss anymore of watching the kids
play baseball, bowling or basketball."
Barnes first joined Team USA in 1989 and left the program twice
(1992 and 1998) to turn pro but has been on the team since 2005. After
she returned from her short professional bowling stints, Barnes
returned to win the U.S. Amateur title each time, claiming the title in
1995 and 2005 and then again in 2007.
In international competition, Barnes has won dozens of medals,
including winning the QubicaAMF World Cup in 2005 and a gold
medal in team event at the 1991 Pan American Games.
Though she's retiring from Team USA action, Barnes will not give
up the sport entirely. She plans to continue bowling leagues and local
tournaments, while also gearing up for a couple of big events each
year.
Barnes said she plans to compete in the United States Bowling
Congress Queens, U.S. Women's Open and USBC Women's
Championships on an annual basis and perhaps other events as well.
"There's a big difference between bowling for your country and
bowling for yourself," said Barnes, who won the Queens in 1998 and
2008. "When I'm bowling for Team USA, that's a year-long commit-
ment in terms of training. When I'm bowling for myself, I can put as
much or as little into it as my time allows."
Barnes will remain a Team USA member through the end of 2009.
She will also continue to stay active in the sport as a member of the
USBC Board of Directors.
