player profile

Coolwick friends, family, and fans it’s William (Will) Welch.

Originally from South FL now living in Milwaukee, WI. Former store manager for BowlersMart and current assistant with Bowlers Headquarters. Being a USBC Silver Level instructor I love to give back and see bowlers achieve their goals on the lanes!

Who / What Got You Started in Bowling?

I started at age 8 at West Hollywood Lanes once I found a bowling ball in my grandparents garage. My Dad and Grandmother bowled league at Holiday Lanes in Hallandale, FL and I spent many nights watching them bowl league and practicing afterwards!

What Do You Love About the Sport?

Bowling is a sport unlike no other. The people you meet and the camaraderie is wonderful. Bowling is also pretty humbling when you think of it – you can execute a perfect shot, hit what you look at, and not strike!

Favorite Bowling Memory

Leaving the USBC Open Championships with the lead in Team Event in 2021. The nationals is a tournament that you only get one shot at and you can’t win the tournament without leaving with the lead. We got off to a pretty slow start but had an amazing game 3 and Mitch Beasley doubled in the 10th for us to leave with the lead.

The waiting game was VERY stressful as there are so many great teams and groups that go at different times throughout the event. We may have finished 2nd pretty close to the end, but knowing we put ourselves in position to win was a memory I will never forget.
