Liz JohnsonDonald Durland Records 4th Career 300
The 300 game bandwagon is once again on a roll at Kiamesha Lanes and for the second time in a two-week span 19-year-old Wurtsboro bowler Donnie Durland has climbed aboard to record his fourth career perfect game.
Bowling on lanes 11 & 12 he scored the 300 and 737 series in the Tuesday Night Mixed Firefighters league bowling on the Rock Hill Fire Department # 3 team with team mates Robert Nicholson, Roy Knapp and Donald's mother Debbie Durland.
This 300 was also rolled with an injured finger on his right hand which keeps him from using his middle finger and the standard grip of thumb, middle finger and ring finger,
The injury has caused Donnie to improvise by using his ring finger and pinky in the ball and from the results he's getting he may never go back to the standard grip.
He presently is bowling with a Hammer Vibe bowling ball.
Donnie bowled his third career 300 on September 26 in the Wednesday Men's league at Kiamesha Lanes. This is his second year of adult-league bowling and his previous two 300 games were bowled in the Saturday youth leagues at Kiamesha Lanes.
Donald has been bowling since the age of 5 when he started out in a youth league at Middletown Lanes.
When he reached the age of 12 , he moved to Kiamesha Lanes.
He presently bowls in the Monday Men's, Tuesday Mixed Firefighters and Wednesday Men's leagues, all at Kiamesha Lanes.
A 200 plus average bowler, Donald has a 209 average in the Tuesday league, a 206 in the Wednesday Men's and a 205 In the Monday Men's league.
Donald is employed in the service department at Van Etten Oil Company of Monticello.
He lives at home with his well-known bowling parents, Paul and Debbie Durland.

The Bowling Tip
By Mike Luongo
Bowlers: One of our previous tips was designed to help you achieve the correct body position to properly execute a bowling shot and be able to repeat it.
This week, we will cover the release.....information that will help bowlers on all levels.
A properly executed release is possibly one of the most misunderstood parts of a bowling shot. Most bowlers tend to muscle the ball through the release zone, either accelerating or decelerating on the downswing. The proper release for all bowlers, "whether you are a six-year-old with a conventional grip or an accomplished bowler with many years experience", should be executed by letting gravity bring the ball from the top of your swing through the release zone with no interference from your arm or shoulder muscles.
If your ball fits properly, the gravity will take it off your hand at the right time providing your body is in the proper position. Any rotation on ball should come from your hand only, not your arm.
Using the proper technique will allow you to get as much rotation on the ball as desired.
Note, however, if your ball does not fit properly, it will require excessive grip pressure to hold on to which will make the release harder to execute.
Aside from bowling, for those of you that have played golf, you can strike the ball much better and with more accuracy if you do not pull the club down from the top of the swing with your shoulder muscles. Gravity can be your best friend or worst enemy depending on how you use it.
