Weber Sets a Record: FOUR Consecutive Tournament Wins!

 

The name "Weber" has been synonymous with bowling since the 1950's, when Dick Weber - young, photogenic, personable - left his job as a mail carrier and began his journey to bowling stardom. That journey ended in 2005, when Dick Weber - by then arguably the most famous and most successful bowler of all time - died in his sleep at age 75. But the Weber name didn't die - far from it.
 

Dick Weber's son, Pete, now 54, was never a slouch at bowling. Indeed, his first game in his first adult league was a perfect 300. Since then, it's been a climb to heights exceeding those of even his legendary dad.

​

Now competing in the PBA50 ("senior") tour and the regular PBA ("the kids") tours, Pete Weber continues setting new records. This past season, he won four consecutive tournaments - the first professional bowler to accomplish this feat. He took a breather during the fifth tournament - managing a mere second place - then came back to win yet another PBA50 tournament. And he accomplished all of this while dealing with a nagging hip injury and arthritis in his back. All in all, Weber competed in nine PBA50 tournaments in 2016, winning an incredible six of those events.
