Mormon convert, grandmother now member of bowling hall of fame

PLACENTIA, Calif. — Most members of the Placentia 1st Ward of the Placentia California Stake know Cheryl Robinson as a petite grandmother with creative skills who currently serves on the ward Relief Society committee.

It's been a surprise to many to learn that more than 30 years ago, Robinson was one of the top female professional bowlers in the world. In recognition of her accomplishments, Robinson was recently inducted into the U.S. Bowling Congress Hall of Fame.

Robinson, then Cheryl Kominsky, was introduced to bowling at the age of 10, when she was living in Westchester, Calif., and was invited to a birthday party that included bowling. She took to the game immediately. Her mother agreed to pay for her bowling so long as she bowled over her average.

By the time Robinson was a senior in high school, she was bowling in local junior tournaments. She gained attention in 1969 when she was named Southern California Junior Bowler of the Year. In 1970 she won a national honor, the prestigious Alberta E. Crowe Star of Tomorrow award. Robinson went on to win her first tour title a week before her 21st birthday in 1972.

She placed fourth in her first U.S. Open that same year.

"I liked the instant gratification of bowling," Robinson said. "You make and effort and you get a reward. I also liked the competitiveness. I competed individually, but also bowled in a lot of team and doubles events."

As one of the youngest women to become a professional bowler, Robinson attracted considerable press attention. She was featured in numerous newspaper and magazine articles. She was "the brunette with flashing brown eyes that seem to smile perpetually," according to a 1970 Bowlers Journal article.

For the next few years, Robinson traveled internationally and had a successful bowling career. AMF sponsored her and she became a member of AMF's "Staff of Champions." In this role she put on bowling clinics and exhibitions in South America, the Soviet Union, Japan and Europe. She was a goodwill ambassador for AMF at awards ceremonies and at the opening of new bowling centers.
