In this episode of the Professional House Bowlers podcast, hosts Lee and Taylor sit down with Aaron Bohman for a deep dive into his unique bowling journey and his family's deep ties to the bowling community in Versailles. Aaron shares the rich history of his family's bowling center, McBo's , which was built in 1973 over the foundation of a burned-down skating rink and still proudly features its classic wood lanes.

Growing up homeschooled , Aaron missed out on traditional high school bowling programs. Instead, this path led him to join adult men's leagues at just 16 years old. He reflects on how he honed his skills by watching experienced local veterans and details his early tournament experiences—from subbing at the state tournament in Dayton to realizing he could turn a profit by entering brackets.

The conversation also covers the technical and administrative sides of the sport. Aaron explains his transition to 14-pound equipment to alleviate hip and knee issues , and he discusses his 16-year loyalty to MOTIV bowling balls because of their American-made manufacturing. Beyond his personal game, Aaron details his administrative roles, including his nine years of running the city tournament and serving as the local USBC association manager.

The crew wraps up by tackling broader bowling topics, such as the commitment required for modern 30-week leagues , the importance of succession planning for bowling center proprietors , and the wild story behind the taxidermy elks mounted on the walls of McBo's.

In this episode of the Professional House Bowlers podcast, we’re joined by Jasmine Schulze, a standout bowler from the legendary Coldwater program and a current third-year student-athlete at Wright State University. As the first female guest on the show, Jasmine takes us through her journey from being "conned" into a bowling league in the sixth grade to becoming a State Champion and a three-time MAC Bowler of the Year.

Jasmine provides an insider's look at what she calls the "copy and paste" coaching style of Rick Hartings, which has turned Coldwater into a powerhouse of technical precision. She reflects on the intense focus required to perform in the 10th frame, sharing a "cold chill" inducing story about needing a strike to beat top-ranked Nebraska at the collegiate level—a shot she knew was perfect the moment it left her hand.

The conversation dives deep into the mental side of the sport, with Jasmine admitting she struggles with being a "nervous test taker" but finds her calm in team-oriented baker games. She also shares her experience stepping into the coaching box to lead the Coldwater girls to a second-place finish while Rick was ill, proving that the Cavalier tradition is in good hands. From discussing her "illegal" favorite bowling ball to the "on-fine" realization that she has to miss sectionals for a cousin's wedding, Jasmine offers a humorous and grounded look at the life of an elite bowler. Whether it’s talking to cops in Orlando or navigating the strict sportsmanship rules of the NCAA, Jasmine’s passion for the game and her hometown remains the strike-throwing center of her life.

Welcome to Episode #6 of the Professional House Bowlers podcast! Co-host Taylor is out for the afternoon, but Lee Keaser is holding down the studio with a special guest representing the younger generation of bowlers: Coldwater, Ohio's own Hayden Beougher.

In this episode, Lee and Hayden kick things off by celebrating Team USA's hockey gold medal before pivoting to a hilarious comparison between bowling and curling—complete with thoughts on curling's recent cheating scandals. The conversation then shifts to the pro circuit, where they debate the heavy reliance on urethane bowling balls and share a funny story about the high school bowling team trying to ask PBA broadcaster Kimberly to prom.

Hayden opens up about his personal bowling journey, which surprisingly didn't begin until the 7th grade. He takes us through the intense nerves of his high school career, culminating in an unforgettable freshman year where Coldwater captured the state championship thanks to some incredibly clutch strikes from MVP teammate Michael Schoenherr. They also discuss the mental grind of the game, the frustration of ringing ten pins, and Coach Rick's legendary, blunt advice to "just try harder".

To wrap up, Hayden recounts the sweaty-handed thrill of rolling his one and only 300 game using his trusty Hammer Effect bowling ball. Plus, he looks ahead to his very first trip to Nationals in Reno, which kicks off right after his 21st birthday—meaning the blackjack tables are just as highly anticipated as the sport shots!
