Learn The Game From The Pros
If amateur and youth bowlers want to learn the correct way to bowl the Brunswick PBA "Mini Camp" program is a great opportunity.
This instruction program is coming to Pat Tarsio Lanes in Newburgh April 9 along with professional and PBA Hall of Famer Parker Bohn III and professionals Sean Rash, Jason Sterner, Ryan Ciminelli, Tom Smallwood and Brunswick's PBA Tour Representative and Product Specialist Chuck Gardner.
Both youth and adult league amateur bowlers can signup for this one day event by paying d the basic tuition fee of $225 or the ball upgrade package price of $350 where you receive your choice of a Brunswick or DV8 bowling bowling ball.
Sponsors of this "Mini Camp" are the Hudson Valley Bowling Supply Pro-Shop owned and managed by Karen and Steve Beam and Pete Garrison.
The "Mini Camp" runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and includes lunch.
The camp will consist of a seven-hour program including lane play instruction, video instruction, ball layout information, autographs and pictures with the pros.
Basics will be introduced by Parker Bohn III prior to on lane instructions and these include the importance of before bowling exercise of the wrist and arms, squatting, bending and touching your toes or your knees and leaning against the ball return for stretching out your legs and body.
Additionally bowlers will learn how to establish a solid foundation at the foul line, the push away and being on the right step for final delivery.
Brunswick Rep and Product Specialist Chuck Gardner, a former professional bowler, will be on hand. This outstanding professional has been a tour rep since 2002 as that was his last year on tour as a bowler which he had to give up as a result of nine knee surgeries. Chuck has worked in the bowling industry many years, joining Columbia Industries as a coach and worked with professionals Wes Malott, Chris Barnes and Bill O'Neill.
When Columbia was sold to Ebonite Gardner left and joined the Brunswick staff and has been with them for nine years.
The Brunswick "Mini Camp" program is the brainchild of Parker Bohn III, Sean Rash and Chuck Gardner.
Gardner when asked about the Brunswick "Mini Camp" said recently , "we put this together to bring to bowlers the awareness of just getting better because we believe the reason people quit bowling is because they don't improve and get better at this sport."
Chuck's teaching experience is "if we can touch 600 to 800 people a year doing these camps and if we can make a difference touching that many people it's so worth it for us."
The Brunswick ball rep has stated in the past that the bowling industry and league bowling has dropped dramatically and was going in a very bad direction the past several years but that it has now leveled out and in the past two years high performance ball sales are actually up and that bowling is on a tread to get better."
The Brunswick "Mini Camp" theory is that if more professional bowlers and people who make a difference in the industry would take a little initiative and start giving back a little bit and doing the right thing the whole sport can around. "This is what we at Brunswick wants to do.....to give back," Chuck said.
The Brunswick "Mini Camp" is not easy as the staff put in 140,000 miles last year flying and slept in a motel 265 nights.. Brunswick stands second in sales of equipment to Storm.
Storm is selling a lot of bowling balls as they are on TV every week and they have the biggest pro staff on tour.
Brunswick is a little more grass roots oriented in their sponsorship of local tournaments, sponsorship of leagues and in the sponsorship of the camps.
Those interested in attending the Newburgh Brunswick "Mini Camp" are asked to call Karen Beam at 845-554-9709.
This is a great opportunity for local bowlers.

Bowling Tip
By Mike Luongo
The tip this week is for right handed bowlers.
One of bowling's great sources of frustration is leaving the 10 pin.
It's typically the hardest single pin spare to pick up , and often remains standing after what seemed to be a perfect strike ball.
Fortunately, the fix is not overly complicated.
It's easy to attribute a standing 10 pin to bad luck, and from time to time, it may be true.
If your consistently leaving the 10 pin , something is obviously off. Most likely it your entry angle.
When you're knocking down every pin but the 10, your either coming in light (the 3 pin hit the back of the 6, pushing it in front of the 10,) or you are hitting heavy (the 3 pin hits the front of the 6, sending it to the back of the 10.)
While bowling, take note of what the 3 and 6 pins are doing. If you see the 6 missing in front of the 10, you're coming in light and if you see it hitting behind, you're coming in heavy.
If you are coming in light you need to get your ball out of the oil sooner, which will let it come into the pocket stronger and with a better angle.
If you are coming in heavy move one-half to 2 boards right on the approach but keep the same target.
