Shelby's bowling coach, Aaron Kinkelaar, was lucky enough to be present (we got to see him on TV every time her opponent sitting) at the PBA Tournament of Champions this past weekend where history was made. Kelly Kulick achieved what no woman had accomplished before her: a victory on the Professional Bowlers Association Tour - and in one of its most prestigious tournaments. Kulick defeated top-seeded Chris Barnes, 265-195. She won $40,000 and earned a two-year exemption on the PBA Tour. Aaron and his wife even got to meet Kelly after the match! Aaron had sent me a text to tell Shelby to tune in - she was screaming at the TV throughout and was totally excited Kulick won (we then had to go to the bowling alley to practice). To quote Shelby (and everyone else), "Girl Power!"
