hi lou i never met you but did see tou bowl in action and in regionals . you were a very good bowler , now dont take this wrong ,me myself felt jeff kitter was a notch above you . i made the newsday finals in 1981 and jeff came in third behind hank and chris riga. everyone was playing around 12 and jeff was playing around 20 the lanes were kind of polish dry wet and jeff was ripping racks. you may know something i dont know but i dont believe jeff was using a load. i think you were friends with or knew geno papandrea? and also when you beat the root at garden city why didnt you smack him around a little harder that arrogant little lepracaun looking jerk needed to be put in his place again lou you were a great bowler but in my opinion just atad shy of jeff

I never said I was better than kitter just said I won a match . I beat alot of great bowlers but usually never bowled them again. I always thought if I beat them why bowl them again! Geno was a friend of mine. Ask geno about san antonio. doran was a nothing who was pissed i put him 3rd in the line up or some thing. after that match he wanted to bowl me at plainview I was all for it I won a regional there. never happened though.what is your name You can e mail me at lcapasso331@hotmail.com I bowled the newsday only once I think it was syosset I did not make the finals I think 3/4 of the field made the cut off 1 day, i thought that strange and never bowled again in that tournement. I did bowl me 1st pba 300 at garden city it was the year after i led the ptq squad there. I always loved bowling there. There were alot of tough bowlers men and women that bowled there. and about jeff he was a great bowler no doubt. I mean no disrespect towards any bowler named in these posts they are all truly great bowlers .

The only great bowlers are on tour. everybody else can only be very good. The newsday was tough and always a legitimate tournament.

I AGREE WITH LC THERE WERE CERTAIN DAYS THAT THE SCORES AND CONDITIONS GOT BETTER. THE LANDGRAF WAS ANOTHER THE LAST FEW DAYS THE CONDITIONS GOT EASIER.

Ah the landgraf. Back in the old days second toughest tournament to win next to the newsday, although bowlmor was the tougher house. Read that the great Dick Weber came East and won both in the same year, 1959. Truly amazing.

i am in agreement with re action jeff was abetter action bowler NO DOUBT. the man had ice in his veins. and about Doran I guess you were there after i finished beating him on and off the lanes he wanted to bowl me again and I told him to bowl my wife at the time and if and i mean't if he could beat her i would give him a rematch. but he refused, he probobly would have lost that match too.my ex Debbie could bowl. she thru more ball than he did too.

about the landgraf, the newsday, and the other tournys of the day trust me there were some better shots on certain days. i remember 1 year when the scores were very low i watched chris riga bowl before my squad and he was shooting 160's. they re oil the lanes for the squad , i shoot 850 or so and now i am the leader. 1 weekend to go i finish 11th or so. same with the newsday, i grind out to even or plus 10 and the next week every one and there mother was 100 over. i always enjoyed bowling in jim lustigs tournements. always felt it was even shot all the way thru. also the suswal classic was a class tournement.please remember these are my opinions, thanks lou
