John Jowdy is a legend in bowling. He is recognized nationally and internationally as an author, speaker, and top coach of the pros. He has coached more than 100 professionals, and many of the bowlers he's worked with-including David Ozio, Del Warren, Randy Pedersen, Steve Hoskins, and Kent Wagner-won their first titles after working with him. In honor of his coaching expertise, Jowdy has been inducted into the American Bowling Congress Hall of Fame as well as the Texas Bowling Hall of Fame and San Antonio Bowling Hall of Fame. He is also the only member of the Professional Bowlers Association Hall of Fame who was inducted for coaching. Jowdy has worked with every world-class bowler, including Donna Adamek, Mike Aulby, and Pete Weber. Jowdy is known for teaching the execution and skill of the game, and he has been called the master of teaching the free armswing. He is also a skilled and prolific writer. He has received numerous writing awards, including the most prestigious awards a bowling writer can receive: the Flowers for the Living Award, the Mort Luby Meritorious Award, and the DBA Humanitarian Award. A former president of the Bowling Writers Association of America, he continues to write a syndicated monthly column that is carried in more than 20 national publications, as well as instructional columns for Bowling Digest and Bowling This Month. Columbia Industries, for whom Jowdy serves as pro tour consultant, has established an annual college scholarship in his honor.
