Vinnie ColluraVinnie Collura Scores 299- 847 In State Firemen's Tournament
It takes a bona fide bowling technician to figure out difficult bowling conditions and once again Monticello's talented right handed bowler Vinnie Collura saw that he had to switch from reactive to plastic and then went on to score an outstanding 847 series off single games of 279, 269 and 299 on Saturday, April 26 in the New York State Firemen's Association Tournament held in Buffalo.
Collura noted that his high scoring efforts took place in the doubles event which placed his team in first place in the scratch event with one more weekend of tournament play scheduled for this Saturday and Sunday.
The doubles and singles events were being held at Transit Lanes in Buffalo and after attempting to use his reactive bowling ball Vinnie immediately realized that the drier lane conditions would require him to bowl with his plastic Brunswick Zone bowling ball. Collura said the "outsides were dry."
And so who says you can't score high games with a plastic bowling ball............Collura did so by rolling 10 strikes in the first game, 9 strikes in the second game and 11 strikes in the third game for a total of 30 out of a potential 36 strikes for three games of tournament play.
In the 299 game Vinnie left a wiggling 7 pin on his last ball which he indicated was "just a touch light in the pocket."
He was bowling in the tournament as a guest with the Rock Hill Fire Department team.
In the recently completed Tri-County NY USBC Association tournament held at the Pin Street Lanes in Warwick Collura blasted the maples for a perfect 300 game in the Doubles & singles event,.
This 300 was his sixth career perfect game and came a little more than two months after he scored his fifth career 300 on December 26, 2007 with a 300, 246, 234, 780 in the Wednesday Men's league at Kiamesha Lanes.
Collura, 39, is only bowling in one league this year, the Wednesday Men's league at Kiamesha lanes, and that presently he holds down a 212 average.
Vinnie's highest previous series was an 809..
Vinnie previously has served as Sergeant At Arms for the Tri-County NY USBC Association and secretary of the Wednesday Men's league at Kiamesha Lanes.
Vinnie and his wife Carena live in Monticello and Vinnie is employed as a Rehab Technician for the Center For Discovery .in Harris.

Bowling Tip.
By Mike Luongo
This tip is for all bowlers regardless of age of level of play.
So very often today bowlers find themselves off balance at the foul line.
While there are many reasons for this, what you may not realize is that most bad finishes are a result of a bad start..
The tip: Check your first step and see if it's too long. This will cause you to push the ball away too far and then your feet will have to play "catch up" to keep you from falling down.
Try a smaller first step next time......it may help.
