SEATTLE — The Professional Bowlers Association is hoping President-elect Obama will use the lanes in the White House to learn to enjoy the game.
Obama had a lacklustre performance at a bowling alley in Pennsylvania during his campaign, and has talked about replacing the lanes in his future residence with a basketball court.
Tom Clark, the vice president and chief operating office of the PBA, said that would be a mistake.
“Once the family is settled in, the PBA Tour will be pleased and anxious to send some of our top male and female professional bowlers in to give lessons to the president-elect and first lady on the White House bowling lanes,” Clark said in a release Friday. “When the Obamas learn the basics of the game, they’ll enjoy it more and they’ll have hours of fun on the lanes for many years.”
Norm Duke, who won the PBA World Championship last month, said he would be honoured to give Obama some tips.
