Tom Hess?
« on: February 19, 2009, 04:00:53 AM »
Saw this guy win the tri region tournament in Reno.  Now, he is hitting the National Tour.  Qualifing and making cuts.  An unknown older guy giving the tour a shot?

Bowling 7 of the 14 tournaments he is 60th in the points standings.  If he goes the rest of the season, he may make next years exempt field.

He has been bowling the Midwest and Southwest regionals for years.  He's a great guy wish him all the best.

Tommys big issue a few years back was his temper. If he shot bad the first few games he would get really pissed off and just give up. Now that he realizes what impact that a bad temper and attitude will have on your game, he's got both under control and you'll start seeing more and more of him. He's got such a simple and effective game as we saw on the doubles show and an intensity that rivals even PDW.
