Horowitz has cashed in two seniors' events.

Horowitz Kept Dream,
Now Has His PBA Card

RICHARD PEARL

Staff Writer

F

or some people, the
dreams die hard. For
others, they don't die

at all.
Insurance executive Phil
Horowitz is in the latter
category: In 1989, at age 50,
he became a professional
bowler — more than 30
years after he first hoped to
do it.
And he didn't complete the
Professional Bowlers
Association seniors bowling
school merely to own a card.
He's entered five senior pro
tournaments since '89 and,
despite some physical prob-
lems along the way, has won
money in two.
"When I was 18 or 19, I
had ambitions of becoming a
pro," recalled Horowitz. "I
even had a backer — I think
he owned a milk company —
but the thing fell through.
He had some business prob-
lems and anyway, the money
wasn't anything like it is on
the tour today.
"But becoming a pro was a
deep-seated ambition of
mine."
He carried it with him as
he worked toward a
management degree at
Lawrence Institute of
Technology (now Lawrence
Technological University)
and as he bowled in B'nai

B'rith and other leagues
down through the years.
And he had his share of
amateur tournament suc-
cesses, including a couple of
second-place finishes in the
B'nai B'rith International —
one in singles in 1962, the
other in team competition 10
years later.
But something kept nagg-
ing him.
"I wanted to prove to my-
self that I could compete
with the best in the land,"
Horowitz said.
It wouldn't let him rest, so,
in 1989, he took time from
his insurance business and
entered the PBA bowling
school. Upon graduating,
Horowitz used his new card
to enter the Showboat Lanes
Senior Invitational in Las
Vegas.
"I cashed in the Showboat
and immediately came back
to Detroit and had hand
surgery" to correct carpal
tunnel syndrome, the
righthander said. "I'd had it
(the syndrome) for a long
time. It was tolerable; I
could wear a brace and still
bowl. But it finally got so
bad, I couldn't even lift a
glass."
That kept him out of the
season-ending Treasure
Coast Senior Open at Fort
Pierce, Fla., in '89, but not in
'90, when he finished 44th,
earning $610.
