1998 PBA Brunswick LI Open: Final: Robert Smith vs WRW Jr-1
Likewise with Walter Ray.
haha the straightest and the rev-most players head to head!!
This took place at Coram Lanes owned by the Laspina family.
Smith was with storm then? He should of stayed with them….
I don’t understand the synchronized clapping that the spectators are doing during each approach. Never saw that before. I’d think that would be annoying and distracting to the 2 bowlers.
Seems like a good match otherwise.
I’d like to see Robert Smith and Kelly Coffman in a match on dry lanes.
That’s too bad Robert had to retire early from his injuries….He had a hell of a delivery…and when his ball hit the pins, no survivors.
I remember watching this live and from this moment on Robert Smith became one of my top 3 bowlers in the world. He is like the Michael Vick of PBA – insane ability, but bad luck with injuries.
Michael Vicks’ a joke. Don’t insult Smith by comparing him to that glorified running back under center who couldn’t hit the bride side of a barn.
clapping during bowling and gold pins…………..beginning of the end for the PBA!!!
Well Norm Duke may have been straighter.
Robert Smith vs E.J Tackett would be one hell of a match!
