1980 Long Island Open - Arnie Goldman vs. Pete Weber - Pt1

[ZEEOH6]

Thank you so much for posting this and all of your other classic bowling vids. Brings back SO many memories of my Sat morn youth leagues and racing home to catch the PBT at 3:30p on ABC. Averaged in the 190's in my early teens, 210+ in my late teens, and held a regional PBA card for a few years in my early 20's back in the 80's. I've been glued to YouTube for hours since I found your bowling posts!!!

I love Arnie, the innovator! Great guy no matter what!

[dcbandnerd]

Geez! I'm 16 and I'm no where NEAR this. This is why he's one of the greatest ever.

I saw Arnie at the Detroit Masters tournament this past weekend...still has the same exact form and style, 28 years later!

[JDub900]

I actually see him quite regularly, as I bowl at a house he frequents. You're right, he does bowl exactly the same as he did here.

Pete Looks like peter pan in the vid

such poor quality video

[mrbowling300]

Unfortunately, this is the best that exists. If you don't like it, then don't watch it. If you have a better copy, then post it. Until then, be happy that at least we have this to watch.

[ajk]

Agreed. Do keep in mind too, that this is youtube video we're speaking about here, so it had to be broken down so to speak.

[Heyde1979]

this is still a great match to watch despite the quality of the video

[joelspan]

Jeez, Pete looks the same today as he did then! Crazy.

[mrbowling300]

Arnie is still a force in the Detroit area bowling scene. I spoke to him the other day for a bit, he was excited that I was going to be posting his matches on youtube. Hope you enjoy!

I also remember seeing this match live as it happened. I became a Pete Weber fan as well.

[greenvette]

Wow I remember this match!!! I was 12 at the time...this is what made Pete my favorite bowler LOL

17 years old?! Holy crap, I would definently like to have that much skill to make it that far today!
