Durland Scores 9th Career 300
The steady league growth and additional experience and exposure of Wurtsboro bowler Donald Durland to Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) regional tournaments is making him a bowler worth watching.
That experience and growth led him to scoring his ninth-career 300 October 5 in the Monday Men's league at Kiamesha Lanes where he pounded the maples for a 300, 222, 256 and a 778 series.
Donald used a Roto Grip Rogue Cell bowling ball and recorded these games on lanes 7 and 8 with team mates Vinnie Collura, Jaryl Scott and his father Paul Durland.
Durland finished 15th in a PBA Regional tournament November 21 of last year at Wind Gap, Pa. and competed in two other regional tournaments in Catskill, NY and Lebanon, Pa.
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 Donald Durland.
This now very proficient 21-year-old kegler recorded his eighth career 300 game while subbing October 24 of last year in the Friday Mixed Doubles league at Kiamesha Lanes.
His seventh-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 likes subbing in the Kiamesha Lanes Friday Mixed league because his sixth 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 230 in the Wednesday Men's league 215 in the Monday Men's league and 227 in the Friday Mixed league, all at Kiamesha Lanes.
Donald bowls Monday night for the Monticello Greenhouse team where he is also employed.
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.
