From the publisher

Bowling Digest, Spring, 2004 by Norman Jacobs

AS WE ALL KNOW, THE PAST few years have been tough on the bowling industry. Naturally, the economic downturn also has affected BOWLING DIGEST.

In order to overcome this difficult period, we have decided to change BOWLING DIGEST'S frequency from a bimonthly to a quarterly. We have positioned the issues to coincide with the times our advertisers have new products they want to introduce to you.

We hope you will understand our decision and that you will continue to support BOWLING DIGEST through new and renewal subscriptions. Our goal is the same as it always has been: To give our readers fresh insights on a great game through our instructionals and our coverage of what is happening in the industry.

We all look forward to better times in the future, and we hope to eventually return to a bimonthly frequency. In the meantime, thank you for your support of BOWLING DIGEST and the industry in general.

Norman Jacobs, Publisher
