A FUTURE FOR THE SPORT - 2020 RECAP, 2021 PREVIEW By Chad Murphy, USBC Executive Director Wow, what an incredibly challenging year. Most will understandably look at 2020 in a dark light, and who can blame them. The COVID-19 virus devastated bowling across the nation and around the world for months. Additionally, it locked down several states altogether for most of the year. Our hearts go out to the proprietors and association leaders who have been shut down. Also, our thoughts are with those centers that had to close for good. We will miss these partners and thank them for their service to bowling. We also mourn the tragic human toll, as our bowling community has seen many great people pass away during the pandemic.
