QB1 Julian Sayin (National Champion)

Off topic, but in my younger years in the 70s, the PBA Nationals were held every year at Imperial Lanes in Toledo. I was a damn good bowler in High School and several local leagues after I graduated. I bowled in the Pro Am several times and got to meet and bowl with guys like Dick Weber, Earl Anthony, Mark Roth and others. The Pro Am was always on Friday with the televised finals on Saturday. One year I found myself sitting at the Imperial Lanes bar with Schenkele, Mark Roth and Dick Weber. What a bunch of characters! Had one hell of a time.
That's awesome. I did a bit of league bowling, but just once a week and never really worked at. Topped out at around a 195 average on a house shot (about 160 when I tried a league with pro oil patterns), which of course was much, much less impressive in the early 2000s than it would have been back in the 70s. One of my random roommates freshman year in Lincoln Tower was from Toledo and was a serious bowler, although we had to check him when he tried to make the insane claim that bowling is harder than golf.

Also forgot to mention Schenkele's TV sidekick Nelson Burton Jr. ( who at the time still competed on the tour, just rarely made the televised finals) Strictly a pro however. Never indulged in the tour high jinks.

Imperial Lanes was my go to when younger. You can go back to the location and have your knee replaced now if needed(Promedica).
