Tommy Jones In Action Last Week In Reno

Local Bowlers Have Opportunity To Bowl With Pros

There truthfully are not too many opportunities for local area bowlers to bowl with the Professional Bowlers Association tour Pros but some upcoming tour stops in both Long Island and Connecticut will be offering Pro-Am tournaments where the average league bowlers can bowl three games.
If you love the game of bowling attending a professional PBA Tour Tournament should certainly become a part of your bowling lifestyle.
Tournaments within easy driving distance from this area would include the GoRVing Classic March 5-9 at Norwich, CT, the GEICO Classic March 19-23 at West Babylon (Long Island) NY and the 65th Denny's U.S. Open March 23-30 at North Brunswick, NJ.
The U.S. Open does not offer a Pro-Am tournament but is one of the most exciting professional bowling tournaments on tour because of it's format and the very tough scoring conditions bowlers have to compete on.
The Pro-Am tournaments are bowled on Saturday.
At the Gl RVing Classic at the Norwich Bowling and Entertainment Center at 188 W. Town Street, Norwich, CT the Saturday March 8 Pro-Am events and fan Day Pro-Am times are 10 a.m., 1,4 and 7 p.m.
At the GEICO classic at the AMF Babylon Lanes, 430 Sunrise Highway, West Babylon, NY the Saturday March 22 Pro-Am events and Fan Day Pro-Am times are 12:30, 4 and 7 p.m.
Bowlers interested in signing up for these events can call the Norwich Bowling Center at 860-889-3361 and the AMF Babylon Lanes at 631-661-6600 or you can go on the PBA website for additional information.
The Pro-Am event bowlers receive cash prizes, a PBA Yearbook, bowling towels, a PBA Pro-Am certificate signed by the pro bowlers, coaching by the worlds best bowlers, bowling pins and there is the option to also upgrade any Pro-Am entry to receive a bowling ball or bag. At some of the Pro-Am's photos of each group with their starting professional are taken and presented to each bowler in that group.
The Pro-Am includes three games of bowling with 6 different professional bowlers.
The Pro-Am's give the opportunity to bowl, chat and just have fun with the great professional bowlers on tour today.
