1980 Long Island Open - Arnie Goldman vs. Dave Ferraro pt1

The date was March 15, 1980 at the Garden City Bowl, Garden City, NY for the $85,000 Long Island Open. The finals were unique, in that there were three first bowlers making their first appearances on TV, Arnie Goldman, and future hall of famers Dave Ferraro, and Pete Weber. They joined Earl Anthony and Mark Roth to complete the top 5.

This is match opening match of the day, #5 Arnie Goldman vs. #4 Dave Ferraro...both making their first appearance on TV. Now let's join Dave Dials and Bo Burton for the call. Hope you enjoy!

On a side note, the black tape on each of the bowlers shirts was a memorial for PBA bowler Dick Battista who passed away earlier in the year.

True. Think I had my wires crossed that night... lol

It is the exact opposite. If they hooking out of control, you go with a ball that doesn't hook as much, so you can control it.  Otherwise, you'll be all over the place.

[NYDanno85]

I can see his point. You can use the hooking ball to open up the lane and go with what the lane's telling you to do.

Otherwise, you'd be trying to force the ball to go straight on hooking lanes, and you'll have much less margin for error.

When the lanes hook a lot you wanna go with a ball that HOOKS? Hmmm??? Not sure about that. Thought it was the exact opposite.
