About Us

The first issue of 900 Series Magazine was distributed to Northern California and Northern Nevada bowling centers in September of 2007.  Now, celebrating our first anniversary next month, the seventh issue of the magazine will hit almost 100 bowling centers in four states during late August.  

Co-publishers Bill Baker and James Baker are both bowlers and industry professionals.  Bill Baker has been in the industry for over 30 years as a bowling center manager and pro shop owner/operator.  James Baker has also worked in the bowling industry as a league coordinator and bowling center manager.  In addition, James also has 10 years of marketing and advertising experience in bowling, hospitality, and gaming.   

The ultimate goal of the publication is to create some synergy among Western bowling centers and increase the exposure of bowling as a while.  After all, it is a great leisure and family activity.  900 Series Magazine brings industry news, regional tournaments, and other articles for serious bowlers and leisure bowlers. 

Each issue encompasses a wide range of stories and articles.  There are stories and articles on dining at bowling centers, bowling center renovations, the opening of new centers, bowling tips, pro shop tips, marketing ideas for industry professionals, and a variety of other stories that league and leisure bowlers are sure to enjoy.  There is even honor scores and awards listed in each issue too.  So, be sure to check out the next issue at a bowling center near you.
