Donald DurlandDurland Scores 7th Career 300
Ever since he recorded his first-ever 300 game during the 2005-2006 season as a youth bowler in the Saturday Morning Youth leagues at Kiamesha Lanes Sullivan County bowlers have watched the steady growth of Wurtsboro bowler Donald Durland.
This now very proficient 20-year-old kegler recorded his seventh career 300 game while subbing October 24 in the Friday Mixed Doubles league at Kiamesha Lanes.
Bowling with Glen Fraser, Kearstin DeGraw and Nancy Fraser, Durland used a Hawg by Hammer bowling ball to record scores of 206, 227, 300, 733 on lanes 5 and 6.
All 12 strikes were in the pocket.
His sixth-career 300 game came on July 30 in the Wednesday Night Mixed Summer league at Colonial Lanes in Chester. On that night he scored a 708 series, which included the 300 and games of 223 and 185 with a Hammer Vibe bowling ball.
In that summer league Donald averaged 200 and bowled with the Killer Angels II team consisting of his mother, Debbie Durland (one of the premier women bowlers in the Tri-County area), Tom Cooney and Pat Cooney.
Durland must like subbing in the Kiamesha Lanes Friday Mixed league because his fifth 300 game was bowled on April 4 of this year in that league using an Ebonite Maxim plastic bowling ball.
His high series of 796 off single games of 268, 249 and 279 was bowled earlier this year in the Monday Men's league at Kiamesha Lanes.
He has been bowling since the age of 5 and averages 216 in the Wednesday Men's league and 214 in the Monday Men's league, both at Kiamesha Lanes.
The Bowling Tip
By Mike Luongo
This tip is for all bowlers regardless of age or 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.

Ed's Outlook
Tri-County NY USBC Association Manager Michele Bensley is wanting to let league bowlers know that the association computer recently died and a new computer has been purchased but that the USBC Winlabs Program is not yet in total operation so she is far behind and about 30 leagues are waiting for processing. So if your looking for awards or membership cards if will probably be about 2-3 weeks....be patient while she is getting this program up and running.
The Brittany Miller Foundation team tournament and auction will be held at Kiamesha Lanes on Sunday, Novermber 16 at 12 noon. The tournament is both a fund raiser with a prize fund as 1st, 2ed and 3ed place teams will win prize money.
The Brittany Miller Foundation is a Pediatric Cancer Fund.
Four person Mixed teams or any configuration will receive 100 percent handicap based on 220 and you must have verifiable sanctioned averages to win.
The prize fund is based on 16 teams and a second squad at 3:30 will be created if necessary.
There will be raffles and door prizes plus refreshments. Make the "baby split" and win $2 and make any bigger split and win $5. These must be observed by a tournament director.
Entry fee is $100 per team and entry forms are available at Kiamesha Lanes.
