Bowling Highlights Column 3-1-13


Eddie Lake Scores Two 300's 
  
   Forty-nine year old Monticello kegler Eddie Lake likes to bowl his 300 games in groups of two.
   In the February 18 Monday Men's league at Kiamesha Lanes Lake blasted the maples for a 300, 245, 300 and a 845 series using a Hammer Epidemic bowling ball on lanes 13-14.
   Ed credits his accomplishments and his 16th and 17th career 300's  to a bowling ball recently drilled out for him by Josh Strang at Strang's Pro Shop located at Kiamesha Lanes. 
  Lake, in commenting about the two 300 games in the Monday night three-game series said, "all strikes were in the pocket for the two 300 games and in the middle game I had five in a row and in the sixth frame came up a little high and left the 4-9, buried the ball in the next two frames and left the 10 pin in each and then finished out with four in a row."
  Lake is presently carrying a 234 average in the Friday Mixed league and a 227 in the Monday league, the two leagues he regularly bowls in. 
  Ed on Monday night bowls with the Lake team consisting of his father, Mickey Lake, his brother Rick Lake and Roy Sweeney.
   Ed recorded his 14th career 300 on Monday, March 12, 2012 and his 13th 300 on March 27, 2012.
   And it's awhile since Lake has used wasn't using his old Hammer bowling ball but he still talks about his old Hammer and bowls with it  occasionally. He still believes in the fact that some of the old bowling equipment can still do the job.
  About two years ago Lake had been without his 24-year-old Hammer as it was being repaired by Mickey Luongo and when he got the ball back within two weeks the old Hammer resulted in the Eddie Lake "300 game Express for his ninth 300 game on December 29, 2008. 
   During the 2007-08 bowling season Lake recorded four 300 games. Eddie had a 300 on January 21, 2008, scored another 300 in the second game of a match November 9, 2008 making it his third perfect 300 game that season.
   Eddie on October 1 and October 2, 2007, made Sullivan County bowling history by bowling 300 games on consecutive nights all at Kiamesha Lanes.   
    His high 856 series was bowled in 2004 in the Wednesday Men's league at Kiamesha Lanes. 
   Considered one of the premier bowlers in the tri-county area,  Lake is single, is employed by Kiamesha Lanes and comes from a well known Sullivan County bowling family consisting of brother, Ricky, his mother Joan and father Mickey.

The Bowling Tip
By Mike Luongo 

    Bowlers: This week's tip was suggested by a league bowler and applies mostly to those bowlers who are using modern bowling balls.
    You may  not know that the modern bowling ball is porous with several different densities and has numerous chemicals in the cover stocks.
    As these balls change temperature, the cover and core will expand and contract. Due to the different materials used for the core, inner core and cover, this fluctuation occurs at different rates.
    Leaving the ball in a car when temperatures are severe, very hot or very cold, the expansion and contraction causes severe stress on the cover. This stress us even greater when a cold ball is used to bowl while it is still cold. This may cause the ball to crack.
   So the tip is not only educational but let it serve as a reminder to take care of your bowling ball investment--avoid the experience that the above mentioned bowler went through--and if you carry your balls to and from the center, don't leave them in your car.             Mike Luongo is a certified IBPSIA Pro Shop Operator, Master Instructor, USBC Silver Level Coach and an Advisor-Special Events assistant with the Storm and Roto Grip Bowling Ball Company.
