Mike has closed Twin Bridge. He sites lack of business and growing medical bills as the reasons. He has assured me that he will remain active with the team and still plans to coach a couple of tournaments next year.
He will be in-and-out of the shop until Thursday. If you have anything in the shop, you should probably contact him while he is in the packing process. After Thursday, contact me.
I think I can speak for all us at St Charles Lanes by saying how much we appreciated his years of dedication to the sport of bowling and the Lindenwood team. We wish him success in whatever endeavor he now decides to pursue...

Being someone in the business, I can say without a doubt that Mike fought this to the very end. Online retailers have caused a huge hit in the pro shop business, here in St. Charles, back in Louisville, and all over. Best wishes and good luck to you Mike.
ya we will miss his shop being up there, and kicking ppl in the rear end to get them to listen, but I'm sure he will still be around some, the main question on a few ppl's mind is he done with bowling all 2gether for himself also? aka knee/hip/heart/back problems.. this could be the start of the end of seeing him bowl also. Im sure he will still hang out sometimes and see folks, and have some fun but only time will tell.
