Mark Wegener
Jaryl ScottWegener & Scott Score 300's & 800 Plus Series
Mark Wegener and Jaryl Scott are part of a team that heads to the United States Bowling Congress Open Championship next week at the National Bowling Stadium in Reno, Nev. and they will be taking with them game plans that put then on top of their scoring abilities.
Mark scored his sixth career 300 on March 21 in the Wednesday Men's league on lanes 9-10 at Kiamesha Lanes and added a 249, 213, 762 series.
In two previously snowed out Kiamesha Lanes Monday Men's league makeup matches bowled on Sunday, March 25, Wegener flirted with 300 games three times that day.....first 11 in his first game and the first nine strikes in the second and sixth games that same Sunday afternoon. His totals Sunday March 25 were 299, 277, 236, 812 and in the second match he recorded a 213, 279, 672.
All of the above scores were recorded with an Ebonite BIG ONE which replaced a damaged Columbia ball.
His previous 300 scores came in 1987, 2000, 2003, Nov. 22, 2006 and just recently on January 29, 2007. Mark's previous 800 series scores came in 2005 with an 818 and in 2006 with an 800.
Mark's recent high scores are attributed to an upgrade to some new bowling equipment which he purchased as a result of his trip next week to the USBC championships.
Wegener, 44, of Woodridge also uses a Hammer Road Hawg bowling ball.
Bowling for some 32 years, Mark bowl in these leagues and maintains a 224 average

Most recently on January 10th he scored his fifth career 300.

Bowling Tip
By Mike Luongo
Bowlers: This week's tip is for bowlers using performance bowling balls. These balls are made of urethane, urethane with reactive additives, with or without particles.
All performance balls come out of the box with either some degree of matte finish, a compounded finish or polished finish.
When a manufacturer chooses a box finish for a bowling ball, many times it is for shelf appeal. All companies want you to choose their products. What you need to know as a customer is that the cover on your performance ball can be adjusted to best fit your needs.
What does this mean for a customer? To maximize your scoring ability on a given lane condition, the cover stock of your bowling ball should match the lane condition. If your ball is grabbing too early, you will need some polish, If the ball is already polished, use a higher degree of polish, preferably something with a slip agent. This will help you get the ball down the lane with less effort. The telltale sign of a ball grabbing the lane too soon is when you see the ball start to hook and the it stops hooking.
On the other hand, if your ball is skidding too far down the lane, you will need some surface friction on the ball. How much friction you need will depend on your ball speed, rev rate and the amount of oil on the lane. The degree of matte finish could be as little as 4000 or as much as 320.
Reminder.....these are adjustments to fine tune your ball reaction. It is up to your Pro Shop professional to help you purchase the ball or balls with the proper core and cover to match both your game and the lane surface on which you bowl. Depending on how serious you are about your bowling, and how many centers you bowl in, you may need more than one ball to help you match the conditions.
And always remember.....you equipment should be cleaned each time it is used.

Ed's Outlook
The United States Bowling Congress (USBC) gets a real pat on the back this week for their efforts in raising more than $1 million to help cure breast cancer.
Several weeks ago the USBC announced the presentation of a check for $1,003,000 to the Susan G. Komen ForThe Cure. The presentation was during the seventh-annual Meet for the Cure ceremony at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center, which is hosting the first annual USBC convention-meeting.
The presentation brought the total from USBC and the former Women's International Bowling Congress to more than $6 million.
A great effort by a major sports organization that really cares.
PROFESSIONAL BOWLERS ASSOCIATION
When two titles are considered a down year, it can only mean the bar has been raised to an unbelievably high level.
Tommy Jones has raised the bar higher than any bowler in Denny's Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) Tour history, capturing his 10th career title and second Major last Sunday afternoon with a 257-222 win over Tony Reyes to win the 2007 PBA Tournament of Champions at Mohegan Sun Arena, Uncasville, Conn.
This tournament wraps up the 2006-07 tour and next week six bowlers will compete in a special winner-take-all event, the 2007 Motel 6 Roll to Riches at Sequoia Pro Bowl in Columbus Ohio.
The six bowlers to compete in this event include Jones, Doug Kent, Pete Weber, Wes Malott, Norm Duke and Walter Ray Williams Jr.. The winner gets $150,000.
