Norm Duke

I have been married to Karen since 1993 and we have one son, Branden, and live in Florida near Orlando. I grew up a Dallas Cowboys fan from way back as most Texans are and I enjoy golfing, fishing, boating and pretty much everything outdoors.

Bowling for a living is so different than most people think. It requires a tremendous commitment to excellence as well as a willingness to expose yourself to failure on a constant basis. Add in a myriad of travel delays and time away from the family – just being happy becomes a chore.

The players that mentally manage the grind of the Tour and are able to stay in love with the sport are the ones that have the best chance of sustaining a good career. I have been on the PBA Tour for 38 years and I am as committed now as when I started out in 1982.
