1980 True Value Open

[@beeemm2578]

Watched this live as a kid and it was awesome seeing Palmer win,especially against juvenile/sore loser ass Holman. Fallgren was right there with Chris and Bo all through the best years of ABCs professional bowling as a scorekeeper and seeing everyone win big $ and go onto glory. You'd have to he dead to not feel happy for this guy.

[@beeemm2578]

What a wild sequence....Fallgren misses the head pin twice, opens, blows huge lead, huge storm rages so hard outside you can hear it on TV and Diles even mentions it, Zikes needs a strike, buries it..tapped solid 8......😖

Aired on ABC Saturday, March 1, 1980 (leap year version).

Spoiler Alert. Watch all matches before you read the comments.

[@MIKIEEYEZ1975]

Yes ur correct… This Andrew Phillips is a JERKOFFFF on every post!

[@Wolfman12395]

37:08 awesome shot :D

[@joeambrose3260]

8:11 Bo knows. Oops, there goes another one

[@choochcoleman703]

Marshall predictably gracious in defeat.

[@beeemm2578]

Of course. He's a good guy when everything is going HIS way. Its how you are when someone is beating you is what important and really shows your personality. He obviously failed

@@beeemm2578 this must be who Phil Hellmuth looks up to

[@andrewphillips2179]

Palmer Fallgren climbs the ladder as he prevails when Marshall Holman left the 2 4 5 on his first shot in the 10th frame to win the True Value Open

Andrew Phillips spoiler buttmunch

[@michaelschweizer4772]

George Pappas had no luck at all.

[@MIKIEEYEZ1975]

Doles was a rotten person. Making fun of Henry Gonzales’s weight. He also sucked at announcing bowling.

[@patrickburnsmusic]

Plenty of backhanded comments by Dave Diles, as usual.

[@dettigs]

yes.....he makes many awkward and ignorant comments........he really never learned much about bowling, did he.

[@douglasharris5216]

Patrick Burns if Dave Diles knew anything about sports he would have been covering the Olympics

[@MIKIEEYEZ1975]

DILES ALSO WAS A BIGOT PLUS backhanded compliments + I loved when he messed up Stefanich’s rug after his 300 in 1974!! Steffi was so pissed!!

[@MIKIEEYEZ1975]

DILES, the bottom of the barrel Las far as announcers go. They should have gotten Keith Jackson or Al Michaels

[@MIKIEEYEZ1975]

I have to agree. He was worse than even Bud Palmer. Doles always interrupting Burton.
