Shirley Garms, USBC Hall of Fame Member, Dies At Age 94 By Terry Bigham ARLINGTON, Texas – Shirley Garms, a United States Bowling Congress Hall of Fame member from Island Lake, Illinois, died Wednesday. She was 94. Inducted into the USBC Hall of Fame in 1971 for Su- perior Performance, Garms was one of the top bowlers in the nation during the 1960s. She was named the Bowling Writers Association of America (BWAA) Woman Bowler of the Year in 1961 and 1962. In 1962, she captured the Bowling Proprietors‟ Asso- ciation of America (BPAA) Women‟s All-Star, which is now the U.S. Women‟s Open, and also teamed with Dick Weber to win the World‟s Mixed Doubles, a nationally televised event. Weber shot 254 and Garms had a 253 in the title match to beat Don Carter and Marge Merrick. In addition to her BPAA Women‟s All-Star title, Garms had three other professional titles during her career. She won the second event of the Professional Women‟s Bowling Association, the 1961 PWBA Championships title, and the 1964 San Antonio Open. Her final pro title came at age 54, when she won the 1978 PWBA Coors Open. Garms earned four USBC Women's Championships titles, the first in 1955 when she captained Chicago Falstaff to the team title. She teamed with Grace Werkmeister for the doubles title in 1964, won a second team title with Beaumont Bowl Pro Shop in 1965, and won the singles title in 1974. A founding member of the PWBA, she was a charter member of the PWBA Hall of Fame in 1995. She also is a member of the World Bowling Hall of Fame (1971), the Illinois Bowling Hall of Fame (1975) and the Chicago Bowling Hall of Fame (1985). 2018 PBA TOC Hall of Famer Johnny Petraglia to compete in final TOC: Another one of PBA‟s all-time greats, 14-time PBA Tour champion and 1971 TOC cham- pion Johnny Petraglia will compete in his final TOC. The 70-year-old Petraglia is the only player in PBA history to win a national tour title (PBA Tour or PBA50 Tour) in six different decades. Walter Ray Williams Jr. still trying for a TOC title: Hall of Famer Walter Ray Williams Jr. has accomplished nearly eve- rything there is to accomplish in PBA competition except winning the Tournament of Champions. A TOC title would make the all-time titles leader (47) the seventh player to complete the PBA Triple Crown (titles in the U.S. Open, PBA World Championship and TOC), and the third player in history to complete the PBA “Grand Slam” (titles in the U.S. Open, PBA World Championship, TOC and USBC Masters). Mike Aulby and Norm Duke are the only players who have completed the Grand Slam. 28th Annual National Golden Ladies March 12-15 The Orleans in Las Vegas Women bowlers over 50 and Super Senior 60 and over PDF Entry "Shoe up and bowl" 28th National Golden Ladies Classic is right around the corner!
