gotten more tired over the
last seven or eight years.
"You have to keep on
pushing," said Holman." I
have had problems being en-
thusiastic about the game
over the last seven or eight
years, but I know when it is
time to get the job done."
And getting the job done
takes a certain type of ath-
lete. Holman said that in
order to strike success, a
bowler needs good hand-eye
coordination and the ability
to get the body in the right
position to make a good
shot. He said it is similar to
golf, another game he loves.
On the bowling tour, you
see bowlers in various
shapes and sizes. Holman
said you can probably be
just about anything you
"I consider
bowling on TV to
be the easy part."
want physically and be a
good bowler if you have the
right coordination. Ideally,
though, Holman said a
bowler should be low to the
ground and strong.
And, in regards to the
stigma of a bowler not being
an athlete, Holman said that
just is not so.
"I've been doing this for
15 years and I may not be an
athlete in the sense that I
can run the 100 in 9.3, but I
feel that my hand-eye coor-
dination is good, and I'm an
all-around coordinated kind
of person," said Holman.
With the large number of
lanes Holman bowls in each
year, he did not admit to a
favorite. The one house he
has had incredible success in
is Galaxy Lanes in . Venice,
Fla. Four times Holman has
entered tournaments there
and three times he has walk-
ed away with the winner's
check.
In 1983, he won the Venice
Open, rolling a 290 in the
final game. His next singles
victory came at the Galaxy
Lanes in 1985 when he won
the BPAA U.S.Open,
defeating Wayne Webb, 233-
205, in the finals; and, in
1988, he won his 21st cham-
pionship as a pro, crushing

Open title game.
like bowling anywhere
where it is warm and there is
a nice golf course," said
Holman with a smile. "But,
the characteristics of that
house seemed to accom-
modate my game."
Holman has had some
problems when reaching the
final five, the group that
bowls on television on Sat-
urday afternoons. On 99
telecasts, Holman has a 59-79
record with a 214.10 average.
When bowling on televi-
sion, Holman said he can see
five to seven television
cameras right in front and to
the side of the lanes he bowls
on. Still, he says bowling on
television does not bother
him.
"I consider bowling on TV
to be the easy part," said
Holman. "Getting there is
the hard part."
Holman is also well known
for his biting sense of
humor. One thing he seems
to get a kick out of is when
people recognize him, but
can't quite put their finger
on who he is.
"It is kind of funny," said
Holman. "They wonder who
I am and they are not sure,
and most of the time I leave
them hanging."
In answering the question
of why he leaves them hang-
ing, Holman shows a dif-
ferent side, saying he just
cannot go up to them and
say, "I am Marshall
Holman, the famous bowl-
er."
So much for being a
household name.
