Congratulations Brandon

Randy Lockhart (YBC) Youth Bowling Sponsor

 
Bowling has always run in my family. My grandmother introduced my mother, who ultimately met my father at a bowling alley. It was in my blood. At age three I was already badgering my parents as to the next time I would get to go throw some balls at those five little pins. You never heard a complaint from either of them though, especially not from my biggest fan – my mom.

Every Saturday morning for league, from every tiny insignificant tournament to every national stage event, she was in the stands cheering louder than an entire crowd. When I shot the first big game, I was disappointed at my lack of excitement, because the stands were too quiet. Not due to a lack of spectators by any means, but because my cheerleader wasn’t there.

My mom passed away in June 2011, and bowling just hadn’t been the same for me since. That is, until I realized just how much I had learned, grown and gained from the sport. She had introduced me to a world where no matter how short or tall, big or small, or even how many times you’ve travelled around the sun, the sport of bowling can always be fun.

I’ve travelled the country and met unbelievable people all as dedicated to the sport as I am. Every one of those people and experiences solidify exactly why I can never abandon the sport. The lanes are a second home to me. Ten days later, when I threw that 11th strike, I picked up my ball and stood on that lane shaking like a leaf. All I could think of was my mom, and how she would be so proud of me.

And of course to “just keep it on the lane”! That’s all that mattered. No, it wasn’t a perfect game, and of course I wish it was, but as i walked off the lane to a chorus of applause and my bowling family wrapped their arms around me in a congratulatory embrace , i looked to the stands. Instead of feeling empty because my mother wasn’t there, I was euphoric because I finally realized my biggest fan was just cheering from a higher section. To my number one cheerleader – love you mom.

Hoping to win lots of tournaments and hit some more milestones this year
