"When I first saw him, the bowling ball was bigger than he was. Now, he's at a whole new level." ~ Tommy Jones
Bowling gets little to no coverage by the news and sports media these days. I'm not sure why this is. I'm guessing it has a lot to do with most people having no idea just how demanding a sport both physically and mentally elite-level bowling happens to be, and lingering stereotypes of beer swilling, pot-bellied Archie Bunker types having a fun night out with the boys.
This is why it's such a blessed event for bowling and its fans when the sport draws the serious attention of the media, and when the medium happens to be the hallowed New York Times, it's an especially big deal. Well, the sensational 14-year-old bowling prodigy Kamron Doyle has just been profiled in the New York Times, and I'm hoping the exposure will attract interest in the sport, especially among the young people who are bowling's future.
I'll be blogging more about Kamron in the days to come, but for now be sure to check out the New York Times profile here. Kamron Doyle is the real deal.
Whether the lanes are dry or have a lot of oil,
ReplyDeleteRollin' strikes will be Kamron Doyle.
Golf may have its Tiger Woods,
But in bowling, Kamron has "got the goods."
I'm runnin' out of space here, so I'll give it a rest,
In the future, Kamron will be the very best.
