[@emichin7010]

Don Gillis is a BIG reason why Candlepin Bowling was such a success.

8:41 WOW!!!!

[@Boppsta712]

And Don knew the rules and was immediately able to explain to the viewers~

That right lane was unpredictable. 1-9 chops on 3 separate occassions, and all the back wall action

[@steveperry1344]

i decided to watch at 12 noon saturday on april 12 2021 and pretended it was like the old days, we all miss the show. i don't remember skip but he put up a heck of a match against tom, the great one.

[@The1crazycaper]

That's why Tom is known as the GOAT.

42:45 CLUTCH.

I was thinking he might lose dang what a close game.

[@josepherhardt164]

A definite nail-biter--and this happened DECADES ago! I've just stumbled into candlepin bowling and think it's a far more interesting game than standard tenpins. Of course, I also like peanut butter on rye bread, so what do I know? :)

[@steveperry1344]

candlepin is kind of confined to new england, try it sometime if you can, it's almost as hard as golf. i like peanut butter on anything if that matters.

[@steveperry1344]

most guys stand in the middle and throw a straight ball, the lanes are all maple or some are synthetic now all the way from the approach to the pins, no pine and no oil. more a game of spares and pin count and less of strikes but they do happen, but not as numerous as tenpin hence the scores aren't as high.

@@steveperry1344 Uh. Yeah.

[@johncirillo9544]

Did Tom Olszta ever convert the Hi-Lo-Jackpot at the end of the show?

[@Boppsta712]

I heard him say on a podcast recently that he only did it once at 11 years old but never as an adult, ha!

[@weldonmackenzie1963]

how can anyone avg. 136?

[@bigbadbruins1]

He was the best

[@steveperry1344]
