Taylor Swift Bowls Over Justin Bieber to Become Celebrity Inductee into
International Bowling Museum and Hall of Fame
ARLINGTON, TX, - The public has spoken and country
music sensation Taylor Swift is the fan's choice as the 2010
celebrity inductee into the International Bowling Museum
and Hall of Fame. With nearly 1.3 million votes cast online
at www.gobowling.com, Swift topped pop star Justin Bieber
in a hotly contested race to forever secure her place in bowl-
ing history. Swift and Bieber were among nine celebrity
nominees selected by the Bowling Proprietors' Association
of America (BPAA) for their public support of the sport of
bowling. Placing at a distant third to Swift and Bieber was
comic legend and former "King Pin" star Bill Murray who
went on a late run to amass nearly 20,000 online votes dur-
ing National Bowling Week (July 31 to August 7), an
impressive total, but not nearly enough to catch Swift or
Bieber who each garnered more than 600,000 votes.
Rounding out the bottom of the competition was late night
talk show host Jimmy Fallon who netted just 623 votes.
"In many ways Taylor Swift perfectly represents the cur-
rent face of bowling, especially as the sport enjoys unprece-
dented growth in popularity among youth, women and
young adults," said Steve Johnson, executive director of the
BPAA. "While we are grateful to Justin Bieber and all of
our candidates for their enthusiasm for our great sport, we
are tremendously proud to welcome Ms. Swift as our
celebrity inductee into the Hall of Fame and we extend our
deepest congratulations to her and the hundreds of thou-
sands of fans who cast votes on her behalf."
For the first time in bowling history, the industry opened
the Hall of Fame celebrity induction process to the fans -
and the votes rolled in. Since the fan polls opened July 12,
nearly 1.3 million votes were cast in a fierce competition
that has seen the front-runner position shift multiple times
between Swift and Bieber. Additionally, underscoring the
global popularity of bowling, the BPAA reported that votes
Taylor Swift were cast by individuals in all 50 states and across 113
countries. See TAYLOR SWIFT page 4

Idle bowling thoughts.
...Keep reminding everyone by
every means of communications
that Kelly Kulick deserves serious
consideration as the female athlete
of the Year. What she has done in
2010 never has been matched by
any female in any sport in any
time.
...Don't look now, but that next
year you're always talking about is
here. The official USBC season
started on August first. And you
know what? Think about getting a
new bowling ball. That always
brings on a new altitude.
…The official paintings of the
women voted to the USBC Hall of
Fame are among the most beautiful
tributes ever created for any Hall.
The bronze busts of the men are
fine too. That's why a way must be
found to display them, whether it is
in a ceiling, wall niche, a hallway
or even a sidewalk or a floor.
People, from day one, are what
Halls of Fame are all about.
..."We need to renew our enthusi-
asm for introducing youngsters to
bowling and project the attitude
that it is the greatest game in the
world." Those were the long ago
words of former American Junior
Bowling Congress manager, the
late Chuck Hall. His sentiments
ring just as true and sure now as
then.
...Haven't heard too much talk
about bowling in the Olympics
even though international bowling
is gaining more than its share of
attention. Bowling has dedicated
much time, money and the efforts
the right officials in the right
places.
...Mike Scroggins has been a star
in recent years and a more than
capable full time pro for more than
two decades, and labored almost
unnoticed for most of them. But,
with his total titles nearing double
figures and his TV appearances
making him an almost household
name I figure the soft spoken
Amarillo, Texas product is not only
a serious consideration but I con-
sider him a good bet to make the
PBA Hall of Fame.
Scroggins is not spectacular in
form, style and actions but is more
like a master mechanic who has the
tools to do a job and does it without
much flair or fanfare, making him
a hero of many of the solid league
bowlers who perform the same
way.
...The main advice top senior
pros give to their amateur league
counterparts is not to fear change,
and particularly, not to hesitate to
go to an easier approach and a
lighter ball. A lighter ball affords
more control with little or no loss
in pin carrying power. Don't be a
macho bowler, be sensible bowler.
...Almost every bowling center
seems to be a hub for selling raffle
tickets, cookies, cosmetics, insur-
ance, politicians and a host of other
things. What we need to be sold
more in bowling centers is bowing.
…Treat your bowling ball with
respect by protecting it from
extreme cold or heat. Treat your
bowling hand and arm the same
way.
