Bowler Spotlight – Bobby Whitcomb

What’s your favorite Pro Series alley that you have bowled at and why?
I’ll say lucky strike in Lynn. I just like the house and have always bowled well there.

What’s your favorite Pro Series format and why?
I like the random draw doubles. It gives guys a chance to bowl with anyone. I’d put the teams a close second.

Most memorable Pro Series moment?
Winning the doubles event with Craig Holbrook in Portsmouth [in 2011-2012].

Best match you’ve been involved in outside the Pro Series?
At the World’s in 2008 in Bangor.  There was a semifinal against McLaughlin Truck and Trailer.  It was so close the match went back and forth and they were the pinnacle at the time. To be facing them in the semifinals was awesome.

I have another one for you since this is a close second.  [My] first year in the worlds.  It was 1994.   Our team made it to the semifinals. We didn’t have shirts.  We didn’t have a name. We came out of nowhere.  We faced a team loaded with hall of famers including [Gary] Carrington, Jack Ray, Joe Ashline, Tommy Olzsta and Jeff Atkins.  It came down to the final boxes and we threw close to a 2000 – we were a team of nobodies and lost to hall of famers.  It was amazing!
