Championship Bowling: Nelson Burton Jr vs Jack Biondolillo [1965-1966]

[@tirmyta]

Thank you, irishpogi. I greatly enjoy watching these old bowling videos. It was fun to see a very young Bo Burton.

[@kevinjohnson4599]

I AGREE with you 1,000% because this was when bowling was bowling. Like the NFL, NBA, MLB & MLS the bowling is now CRAP too & isn't worth watching anymore either. LOVE YOUR COMMENT.

[@tynosille6747]

Was there ever a more technicaly sound bowler than nelson burton jr.? He was so smooth i could watch him all day!

[@oldsnwbrdr]

Bo’s game hadn’t changed AT ALL over the years. Didn’t need to. His ball was hitting like a ton of bricks today.

[@KevinMphotography]

Before my time. I saw him in the 70s but not the 60s lol, it’s funny that his approach and release it was the same when he started on tour

[@claudeheffington562]

I may be wrong but check for me. Steve Nagy might have had the 1st 300 on TV. It might have been before the pba started up in 1959.

[@douglasharris5216]

Claude Heffington there were back to back 300’s before that in a doubles format. The second player never got to throw a ball

[@steveboone1498]

​@@douglasharris5216 it was ed lubanski who did that feat while bowling in Miami Florida

When bowling was enjoyable. No two handed crap. No 25 bowling balls per bowler. No 250+ league averages (you had to earn it). Crowds behaving and not screaming drunk. Good trophies not deodorant bar plastic junk. Good announcers not wrestling style as today.

[@rockaway2k]

Real talk. Say that, sir!!

[@barbaradarnell7376]

Two handed equals ugly.

[@FobbitMike]

Times change. Get over it.

Extreme Championship Bowling!

[@alwaysfun777]

Bo Burton one of the BEST, in every way possible!!!

[@multicaruana]

Mr. Biondollilo didn't have it, but he bowled the first televised 300 on the tour not long after this TV show if I am correct. Wolf called Burton's future success.

[@bowlingfanatic20]

+multicaruana it was 2 years later that he bowled the 300 in 1967

[@multicaruana]

+bowlingfanatic20 Thanks for that info. I saw it on TV that day but my brother was being punished by father and missed the game- I had thought it was earlier but I am sure you are right!

[@dcbandnerd]

8:30 You honestly can't throw it better than that. Had that happen to me the other week at league and could have spit fire afterward.

[@MaizeANDBlue1957]

Funny to listen to the commentators. _It's almost like they're golf commentators trying their hand at bowling._ LOL at some of the things they say.

Too bad for Bo this wasn’t a “no tap” tournament. He’d have been shooting for 900 in the 10th frame of the 3rd game. 😁

[@Igloo3471]

Burton Jr had the patience of a saint there with all the taps he got!

[@igabm32yt]

@minute 13, I think I'll go bowling and lose a ton of weight :)

[@cwagner4704]

He was straight up living in the pocket

[@tyroneellison6862]

Has there ever been a more perfect example of a smooth stroker? If you wanted to train someone this was the example. I never tire of watching these guys who learned to bowl on lacquer conditions. They were so accurate because they had to be! Polyurethane covers a lot of mistakes!

[@weevie833]

Had no idea Ted Cruz had PBA career back in the day.

[@heesendr]

I think I see Billy Golembiewski and Carmen Salvino in the front row of the audience. (Verified by Fred Wolf at about 29:20.)

[@flaguy999]

Sitting at Carmen's left is Bob Strampe

[@MrZappaman420]

bowling, quite possibly the most boring sport to watch....golf is a bit worse, but yeah this is a snoozer
