Bowling Highlights Column 1-18-`13


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.

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.
