To Whom It May Concern:
  
I am writing on behalf of Bob Klatt, aka Bowler Bob. I have recently been attending a bowling clinic that was led by Bob. Bob does a great job at helping bowlers, of all skill levels, work on the next step they need to improve their game. He is able to work with bowlers of all age categories, as well. I have seen him work with children as young as 7 years old, up to adults in their 50's or 60s. Bob often brings along visual aides and/or props to help teach a lesson.
  
I have been on leagues since college and have been bowling with my current league for 10 years. Until I met Bob 2 years ago, I had never had anyone offer any help or demonstrations as Bob has done. He came to our league 17 months ago, to give us more information about the different types of bowling balls and how they react on the lanes. As a result of that demonstration, 7 of us upgraded to newer, better bowling balls. As part of a recent clinic, he demonstrated how the lanes are oiled, how balls react to that, and where to throw the ball - this was an excellent visual aid that has helped me quite a bit. My personal average has improved 5 points after only 6 weeks with Bob's clinics.
  
Bob always has something positive to say to everyone - "Great job", "You can do this!", "Way to go"...and he calls everyone by their name, which is very welcoming in a group setting. Bob is very motivating and makes you excited to return the next week. I look forward to future experiences with Bob. He is awesome at what he does!
