Durland & Smith Bowl
300's
The 300 bowling club at Kiamesha Lanes is growing and doing
well this 2012-13 bowling season as Wurtsboro bowler Donald Durland recorded his
15th career 300 and Claryville bowler Keith Smith recorded his 2ed career
perfect game with both scores being recorded in the Monday January 7 Men's
league at Kiamesha Lanes.
Smith, 29, bowling on lanes 5 and 6 scored his 300 using a
Roto Grip Shooting Star bowling ball with all shots right in the
pocket.
The 300 was recorded in the first game of the three-game
match and he followed it up with a 224 and a 711 series.
He bowls with the Strike Force team and team members Billy
Curry, Dan Van Aken and Gene Smith.
On November 16 Smith bowled his 1st 300 game, also
on lanes 5 & 6 and using a Roto Grip
Defiant Edge bowling ball and finished that match with a 257, 233 for a 790 series. He has also bowled a 792
series and has several 299 single games at Liberty Lanes.
Keith has been bowling for some 15
years and also bowls in the Wednesday Men's league at Kiamesha Lanes. He
maintains a 226 average on Monday.
Keith is an active firemen and
trustee with the Woodbourne Fire Department, plays softball in the Liberty
Men's Slo-Pitch softball league, is single and is employed as a golf course
maintenance greens-keeper at Kutshers Golf Course.
Durland, 24, bowled his 300 on lanes
11 and 12 using a Storm Tropical Breeze bowling ball which he purchased several
weeks ago at Pogo's Family Pro Shop in Newburgh.
He noted that all 12 strikes were in
the pocket.
Donald's 300 game also came in the
first game of the night and he followed it up with a 290, 236 and a 826 series.
He bowls with the Monticello Greenhouse team with team members Jaryl Scott, his
father Paul Durland and Vinnie Collura.
Durland bowls regularly in the
Kiamesha Lanes Monday Men's league where he maintains a 240 average, in the
Tuesday Men's league at Hoe Bowl On The Hill in Kingston and Thursday in the
Men's league at Tarsio Lanes in Newburgh. He subs in the Wednesday Men's league
at Kiamesha Lanes.
Donald maintains a 220 plus average
both in Kingston and Newburgh.
His 13th 300 was bowled February 6,
2012 in this same Monday Men's league and over the past several years he has
shown steady league growth and at one point in time competed in the Professional
Bowl Tour regional tournaments.
Considered by bowling experts to be
one of the premier men bowlers in the Tri-State area, Donald recorded his
first-ever 300 game during the 2005-06 season as a youth bowler in the Saturday
Morning Youth leagues at Kiamesha Lanes.
Donald's mother Debbie Durland is
one of the premier women bowlers in the Tri-County area and his father Paul and
younger brother James maintain the high Durland family bowling
standards.
James is now bowling collegiate
competition in Kentucky.
Bowling since the age of 5, Durland
is single and employed by the Monticello Greenhouse.

Parker Bohn Wins
World Championship
Don't ever count Parker Bohn III out
and the proof of the pudding was evident last Sunday on ESPN as the Hall of Fame
Jackson, NJ lefty won the Professional Bowlers Association World Championship at
South Point Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
Bohn, win this win now has 33 PBA
tour titles and he won this major championship after qualifying 24th in match
play. This is only the third time ever a PBA bowler has won a major championship

Hall Of Famer who has not won a title in more than four years. His last
championship title came in December of 2008 when he won the Cheetah Championship
at the AMF Thruway Lanes in Cheektowaga, NY.
In last Sunday's matches Parker had
to beat some of PBA's finest with victories over Dan MacLelland, Rhino Page,
Sean Rash and the top qualifier Jason Belmonte, 254-227.
The 2012-13 tour continues this
Sunday with ESPN coverage of the finals of the Japan Cup from Tokyo at 3 p.m.
The all-new PBA league makes its debut with a live two-hour ESPN telecast on
January 27 at noon.
Bowling Tip
By Mike Luongo
Learning the five fundamentals of a
good bowling shot.
So very often we forget the most
basic steps that are designed to help us have fun and score a good
game.
These steps include getting ready in
the stance position by taking a deep breath, bringing in air into our nose and
exhaling through your mouth.
The next step is getting lines up,
before the start of your match practice a couple of shots to see what the lane
coditions are and even take a look at other bowlers and see what they are doing.
You should watch your ball reaction and don't force your ball to curve.
Equipment selection in important here.
Want good balance then make sure
your first step is a short one......this adds greatly to ending up with good
balance when you release your ball.
Keeping a loose swing is also
important, stay away from using too much muscle. When you are ready to bowl make
sure your hand and arm are relaxed before you start your
approach.
As you start the ball moving in your
approach, make sure that the ball moves in a straight line toward the target on
the lane. This will prevent your swing from going off line. Let the rest of your
swing be relaxed.
