Wouldn't it be great if the new Montreign Resort Casino at Adelaar could attract a Professional Bowling Association tour event.
We know that Montreign will be more than just a casino.
It has previously been noted that this overall project is more than a casino and is designed to drive tourism back to the Catskills.
The overall casino project will consist of the entertainment center portion of the project and the center will include theaters, restaurants and a bowling facility.
It is not known at this time what the total concept of the bowling facility project will look like and whether or not the bowing center might possibly be able to attract some of the Professional Bowling Association tour tournaments.
Many of the PBA tournaments are now held in casino's located in Las Vegas, NV.
Bowling Tip
By Mike Luongo
Taking care of your bowling equipment can play a very important part in anyone's bowling success.
Bowling ball maintenance is very important and balls need to be cleaned and maintained after each use.
When bowling with a plastic ball it should be known that these balls are not porous and due to the high viscosity oils used today the oil will build up on the balls and eliminate any contact with the lane.
To clean plastic balls you can use any car care product or household cleaner.
Plain urethane balls with no additives are also porous and will not absorb oil and dirt. You can also use any car care product or household cleaner on these balls. If you like to keep this ball dull, use an abrasive pad.
With the urethane based balls with additives commonly known as reactive or particle balls we recommend you towel the ball off after each shot and clean the ball as soon as possible at the end of each bowling session.
If your reactive ball is dull and you want to keep it that way you can use warm water, dish detergent and a grey or burgundy pad (3M makes them) or the back of a scrubber sponge.
If your ball does not have a dull surface you can use dish detergent with a rag (no abrasive) or a generic ball cleaner that is made for bowling balls and sold in pro shops. Many products are available to keep your ball polished and that offer the desired finish you want.
