Alan JonesAlan Jones Scores 4th Career 300
Forty-two year old Livingston Manor bowler Alan Jones knows the sport of bowling and that knowledge has rewarded him with his fourth career perfect 300 game.
Alan recorded this 300 game on December 3 in the Wednesday Men's league at Kiamesha Lanes where he bowls with the Lawn Doctors team consisting of members George Battle Jr., Frank Muller Jr., Larry Berens and team captain Dean Shattuck.
Jones total for the night was 217, 205, 300, 722.
The scores were recorded on lanes 13 and 14 using a Brunswick 2001 Unlimited Edition bowling ball.
In addition to his four 300 games Alan has recorded five 800 plus series and has a high 844 series (289, 288, 287) bowled three years ago in the Saturday Mixed league at Kiamesha Lanes.
A student of the game, Jones has been bowling for some 17 years and in recent years has studied ball drilling from Professional Mike Luongo. Alan now operates the A.J. Pro Shop at Kiamesha Lanes. The shop is open 10-2 Monday-Friday and 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
Alan and his wife Suzi have five children. He is employed as a custodian with the Tri-Valley Central School District.
Bowling Tip
By Mike Luongo
Bowers: This week's tip is a reminder that although there are so many aggressive, high performance ball available, the main component of the sport is having a sharp game and becoming a good shot maker.
Lane conditions have become very soft and that combination with today's bowling balls has led to high scoring conditions making the majority of today's bowlers very complacent about working on their physical game. However, the sport of bowling is making a comeback as can be seen in some of the newer Sport Bowling Leagues so knowing how to adjust to varying lane conditions and understanding how to use today's bowling balls is only part of the equation.
For those bowlers who want to maximize their potential in this sport, I cannot stress enough the importance of finding a qualified and certified bowling instructor. Even more preferable, you should work with an instructor who uses video technology to completely analyze your game.
For example, we use the Brunswick Pro Trainer system which gives us the ability to replay a student's shots in slow motion, show them what adjustments need to be made and compare then to the highest caliber bowlers in the world...best of all....the student is able to take a video home to study and watch at their convenience.
The knowledge you gain from a Certified Instructor is knowledge that will be useful to you and will stay with you throughout your bowling life.
