1994 Choice Hotels Classic

[@irishpogi]

Gary DIckinson was one of my favorite bowlers back in the day

[@beeemm2578]

The big Texan...always seemed like a super good dude. 👍

[@nyracingfan]

2:23 a very young Chris Barnes rocking the mullet!

[@canuck_gamer3359]

That Purple Beast was absolutely perfect. The shell was reactive but never seemed to want to over react on dry lanes and the core didn't produce much flare, Duke could hit that ball as hard as he wanted and it never over hooked. That must have been like a dream come true for him lol.

[@trumpsmessage7777]

Around 1981 in league bowling at Forest Park lanes in Ft Worth we started hearing about this young 17 year old bowler who was going to be on the pro bowlers tour. Norm Duke.

[@regaeontop]

THE ORIGINAL AIR-DATE WAS ON: SATURDAY FEBRUARY 12, 1994.

[@raycampbell162]

These old guys can bowl

[@beeemm2578]

Man, Duke threw a big bender during that 300. Whoa. Shows he could go up the lane or whatever was needed. Obviously one of the best to ever do it. Neat seeing a punk kid, Chris Barnes, coming onto the scene. Ron 'Kip' Winger was a sweathog, geeeez. Lol.

[@chrishoch9876]

I LOVE THE OLD PROFESSIONAL BOWLER TOUR LOVE CHRIS HOCH

[@andrewphillips7555]

the 3 matches were tight and close

[@Wolfman12395]

Wow, Duke actually rolled a 300 right beforehand and yet didn't get the bonus because it wasn't part of the live telecast...that kinda sucks.

[@lynettepalecek3141]

Yeah. He should have received some kind of bonus for that.

[@andrewphillips7555]

norm duke was tough in the clutch to win both of his matches to win the choice hotels classic

[@Wolfman12395]

55:50 WOW!!!! O_O

[@canuck_gamer3359]

The classic Bo Burton jinx!!! lol

[@Mario-cv5el]

What a goober that guy was

[@hongphucnguyenbuiphuchands6480]

2:30 never chris barnes in this match

[@andrewphillips2179]

Gary Dickinson was in control to win the 25000 Choice Challenge

[@hongphucnguyenbuiphuchands6480]

Well never see Chris Barnes in 1994

[@lynettepalecek3141]

This video cut off the end of Norm Duke receiving his trophy. I didn't like that.

[@andrewphillips7555]

gary dickinson threw a lot of strikes to win the 25000 choice challenge and the first game when he defeated ron winger and the choice challenge he defeated norm duke

[@chrishoch9876]

NELSON BURTON JR HOW I DO HOOK WITH A REACTIVATE BOWLING BALL LOVE CHRIS HOCH

[@georgewodicka4839]

My God, I hate that intro. Nothing like the classic music of the 70's and 80's.

[@imal25]

AND IT DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO LOOK AT THE 300 GAME THAT'S BULLSHIT COME ON!!! UGH!!!
