For a 15 year old that's a big thrill anyone could have. Deffinatley keep the ball and don't drill it. Doug's a great guy .

Doug is an awesome guy. I spoke with him at Junior Gold Nationals and he was very down to earth about everything. He didn't push any "star image" that he may have gotten over the past year, but still, he is an awesome person.:D

One reason alot oif atheletes don't sign things anymore. They don't like people making money on them. People like Doug and the rest of the boys are first class people who appreciates the fans .
Putting it up on ebay reminds me of something. At a golf tournament a guy we all know as Tiger was asked by an older gentleman tro sign a golf ball for his grandson. Tiger looked around and replied, Where is your grandson I don't see him and politely walked away.
Keep the signed ball as a keepsake and one you will always remember.

I personally bowled the eastern regional stops with Doug,Probably 8-10 years ago,then I hurt my knee,had to have surgery and stopped bowling regionals,of coarse,everyone that bowled knew I had to quit to have knee surgery.This August I saw Doug at a products show,not only did he remember me,but the very first thing he asked me was,"How is you knee doing?"That meant a lot to me,and my wife almost fell over.She could not believe it.He is a GREAT bowler,and a TRUE gentleman also.
