RENO, Nev. - Casey Murphy of Nixa, Mo., likes to prepare
for the United States Bowling Congress Open
Championships by competing at the nearby Storm Bowlers
Journal Championships presented by USBC.
The 32-year-old right-hander enjoys the challenging lane
condition because it gives him a chance to get his arm-
swing loose and make sure his skills are as sharp as possi-
ble. This year, the extra effort helped him to a $10,000 pay-
day as the event's Open Singles champion.
"It feels great," said Murphy, who rolled games of 267,
277, 187 and 259 for a 990 total. "I've worked really hard
on my game, and winning this lets me know the hard work
is paying off. It's really hard to put into words."
Murphy lives just north of Joplin, Mo., where a devastat-
ing tornado touched down a little more than a month ago.
Murphy and his teammates were just happy to get to Reno
without issue."It really puts everything into perspective," said Murphy,
a software engineer for ANPAC, who bowls league at
Enterprise Park Lanes. "We heard some of the death toll
numbers while we were bowling. We were lucky to get to
Reno. The Bowlers Journal really turned my week into a
positive."
In the tournament's Open Doubles battle, Paul Stolp of
Edison, N.J., and Sean Riccardi of Piscataway, N.J.,
emerged victorious with a 1,842 effort. Stolp led the duo
with games of 257, 277, 228 and 185 for a 947 total, while
Riccardi added 247, 193, 221 and 234 for an 895 total and
$7,500 prize check.
Riccardi rolled a 300 game at the 2009 Open
Championships, which helped him to top-10 finishes in
Regular Singles and Regular All-Events, but he's happy to
share this success with his friend.
"This feels really good," Riccardi said. "We thought 1,800
was a good score, but we didn't think it would hold up. We
saw some big names come through and not beat us, so we
thought we had a really good chance after all. It's pretty
cool. I'm happy to help Paul get a title. He's wanted one for
a while, and he bowled really well. "
Fresh off another solid performance at the USBC Open
Championships, 2007 Regular Team champion Bryon
Smith of Roseburg, Ore., took his skills across town to the
Grand Sierra Resort and claimed the Classic Singles title at
the 2011 Bowlers Journal Championships with a 951 set.
He posted games of 264, 193, 236 and 258 to win the
$1,600 top prize, and the effort also helped the 2003 USBC
Masters winner to a share of the top spot on the Dual Entry
prize list along with Brett Wolfe of Tempe, Ariz., the 2002Masters champion, who rolled a 951 set on the way to a
third-place finish in Open Singles. They each received $550
for topping the Dual Entry standings.

It is hard top believe that Rockaway
Lanes is hosted its 11th Annual Pro
Image Bowling Camp. I have attached a
Star Wars theme to this years sessions.
Why? Because fourcount
emfour gold level certified coaches
were among the 11-member coaching
staff, a first for any bowling camp or clin-
ic anywhere. There are only 39 gold-
level coaches on the entire planet!
Returning gold coaches Fred Borden
(Yoda), Ken Yokobosky (Han Solo)
and Jeri Edwards (Princess Leia). Newto the team is Wichita State University
had coach Gordon Vadakin (Ben Obi-
wan Kenobi). Any of the other coaches
could be Luke Skywalker. They are:
Greg Rottengen, Noel Vega, Chip
Vincent, Bobby Willis, John Neral, and
Al Jones. Borden has written numerous
books and produced several videos for
coaching. He, along with Edwards,
Yokobosky, Ron Hatfield, Alex
Hamilton and Andy Parker produce
Mybowlingcoach.com. More recently
Borden was named USBC Coach of the
Year in Grapevine, Texas. Edwards is
former head coach and was the first
female coach of Team USA.
This team of stars spent time on and off
the lanes with 31 bowling students, offer-
ing guidance for the physical as well as
mental game. Three students were
women, three students were lefthanders.
The oldest was Bob Rutherford, turning
74 next month. My average has been
going down, so I wanted to come to
camp to improve. My teammate attend-
ed the camp last year and recommended
it. It must have been worth it because he
rolled two 300 games last season, and he
went to the camp twice.
The youngest was 15-year-old Jake
Rollins, Glen Rock who was attending his
third camp. Why attend more than once?
There is a lot to remember each time, he
said. Every time I attended, I improved
(my average) about 10 pins per year. I amup to a 212 average. This Glen Rock
High School sophomore was working on
not bending over the foul line, proving
there is always something to learn.
Every year camp director Ken
Yokobosky, along with Fred Borden,
tweaked the format and schedule. This
year, the new addition was bronze coach
Chip Vincent, an employee of the Pro
Image Pro shop, sanding cover stock of
bowling balls to show how that would
affect ball reaction. He said he was giv-
ing the ball more surface. It is important
to match the surface of the ball with the
surface of the lane at that time. Vincent
attended the camp five times, and thenwent through the process to become a
certified coach. He is also certified
through the Dick Ritger bowling camps.
But maybe the best coach on staff is
the Pro trainer (C-Three-pio), a com-
prehensive video device that enables
Yokobosky to make videos from the
back and side of each student, and add
commentary and even draw lines on the
video to illustrate a point. He often com-
posed the videos with a pro bowler on
one side comparing with the student on
the other side.
Everything that could be covered in
three days was explained, then put into
hands-on practice: The physical game,
mental game, lane play and equipment.
Each section was broken into several com-
ponents. Perhaps the most significant was
spare shooting, which can be key to win-
ning or losing a match or tournament. You
would be amazed at how intricate a game
of tenpins can be: the start, timing, ball
speed, distance, the shape of the shot, the
release, the sliding leg, wrist action, hand
and finger rotation, and so much more until
the ball actually reaches the pins and yields
the almighty strike (or spare).
Okay, so there was no Darth Vader as
such, but the enemy was in the bad
bowling habits that coaches eradicated
with their own brand of Death Ray. And
in the end, goodness triumphed over evil.
It should be noted that Jackie Willis held
the camp together, keeping coaches andstudents on track with the full schedule.
The 31 students from New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania and Virginia never
complained about any sore muscles (a
first), but rather couldnt wait to get back
onto the lanes to apply what they had
learned and to learn even more. The
coaches rotated from lane to lane, each
one asking either What did coach so-
and-so have you work on? or What
would you like to do?
This included three pairs of fathers and
sons. Moorestowns Ed Ryan brought
both sons, Tyler and Joe for return ses-
sions. They could return home and coach
each other now.The epitome of wanting to learn more
was Eric Gentilella, attending his fifth
bowling camp. He is a student and on the
Developmental Team at Wichita State, a
great achievement for his first year in col-
lege. When asked why he returned to the
camp when already experiencing the rig-
ors of the a big part of what I have done
so far. And if Im lucky enough to make
the Select Team (the premier team at
Wichita State) there will always be
something to learn. That team only takes
12 male and 12 female students. He
was wearing a team tee shirt with the
motto Learn-work-win on the back.
Then there was Grant Nurse from
middle Jersey. This 70-year-old started
bowling 18 months ago and felt that the
camp would teach him how to do it
effectively. He is serious about every-
thing he does. When he took up golf, he
attended five golf clinics.
On Sunday afternoon the campers par-
ticipated in a low ball tournament.
Picking off a corner pin counted as one.
A gutterball counted as a strike, or ten. A
gutterball on the second shot counted as
a spare. It was not as easy as you would
think, either.
The four finalists were Joseph
Shaparis, Brooklyn, Jake Rollins, Glen
Rock (the youngest participant at age
15), Ed Ryan, Moorestown, and Roger
Shell, Manhattan. By the way, for people
who perceive bowlers as low on thesports totem pole, Mr. Shell is a profes-
sional cellist on Broadway and formerly
with various pop singers and groups.
All four continued the low ball for-
mat on two lanes set with mock televi-
sion lighting, and with spectator chairs
lining the outer sides of the lanes.
Shaparis and Rollins went to the cham-
pionship game and it was Joseph
Shaparis, 25, who won a free campership
for next year, valued at more than $600.
As if three days of intense learning
werent enough, I overheard one camper
ask Ken Yokobosky if he gives private
coaching as well, which he does. All of
the coaches do.
The Jedi warriors were now ready to
conquer it alllane conditions, spare-
shooting, adjustments, and tweaking the
surface of their equipment, or buying
new equipment (along with a myriad of
grades of sandpaper).
May the Force be with them!

Idle bowling thoughts.
Great job by all involved
with the staging of the
women's U.S.Open at
Cowboy Stadium during
Bowl Expo. It had to be the
result of many from many
bowling groups working well
together. And when all the
head counting is complete it
could well be the largest num-
ber of people ever to attend a
bowling event.
Of all the different balls
used in various sports and
games the bowling ball has
become one of the most sophis-
ticated. And a deep knowledge
of bowling balls, their advan-
tages and everything else can
be the difference between win-
ning and losing at the highest
levels.
It won't be long before lit-
tle kids, and I mean little, will
be carrying around sanction
cards and proof of their
scratch average and their legal
handicap average and their
bumper bowling average.
When are the airlines
going to give bowlers a break
on luggage costs for bowling
balls when they are going to a
tournament? I remember
being on a flight that ran into
weather trouble and was bob-bing up and down like a cork
on the end of a fishing line.
And then a weak voice was
heard, "Anybody on board
want to buy a bowling ball
cheap?"
We have been trying to
become an Olympic sport
almost since the beginning of
organized bowling. One bowl-
ing official, frustrated by
bowling's failed attempts to
get into the regular games,
proposed bowling for the win-
ter games. It didn't faze him
that the winter sports must beplayed on snow or ice. He sug-
gested bowling lanes and all
the rest of the bowling equip-
ment be carved of ice.
Every bowler should
think about bowling in a tour-
nament, at least now and then.
There is one for every bowler
of every average, every age
and every sized pocket book. It
has been estimated that some
10,000 are conducted around
the world every year.
Hugh Miller of Seattle, a
solid national, regional and
senior pro champion, became
the 40th person to win more
than a million dollars in pro
events. That sounds good
except when you look at golf
where that many golfers make
a million or nearly that much
in a single year. Don't get f rus-
trated, just don't read the golf
and tennis and other high pay-
ing lists---and think about the
many sports that have folded
or still struggle to survive.
Though the maximum
weight allowed for a bowling
ball is 16 pounds, few bowlers
need use the limit. The idea is
for you to toss the ball com-
fortably, not have it throw you.
Only the late Dick Weber
and Johnny Petraglia have
won pro titles in six different
decades. In addition to the
many obstacles preventing
such a feat the most obvious
one is just keeping healthy
enough that long to continuein top flight play.
Bowling's biggest need is
an all-purpose weekly bowling
show that features all type of
bowling competition, instruc-
tion, up close and personal
interviews and a little bit of
everything about bowling that
can whet the appetite of long-
time bowlers and those with
casual interest.
Bowling still bestows
more awards than any other
sport. That can only be topped
by coming up with anotheraward, an award annually pre-
sented to every competitive
bowler who never before won
an award.

Maple Family Centers propri-
etors, John and Joe LaSpina,
learned about lane mapping at a
recent conference and having full
confidence that Kegel Lane
Precision would deliver on its
claim, went forward and mapped
their lanes.
Bill Mongeau of Kegel Lane
Precision states that lane mapping
measures the slope of the lane,
board to board across the entire lanesurface. Lasers are shot across each
lane identifying height variations,
which once fed into a sophisticated
computer program results in a
map that pinpoints each lanes
slopes.
Those slopes are leveled to
1/4000th of an inch (about the
thickness of one piece of paper),
board to board, across and down the
length of the lane--resulting in the
flattest, most playable lane surface
in the world. Farmingdale Lanes is
one of only five (5) bowling centers
worldwide to have their lanes
mapped.
Maple Family Centers;
Farmingdale Lanes, Rockville
Centre Lanes, Jib Lanes, Coram
Country Lanes and Maple Lanes,recently invited a wide sampling of
their customers to attend a lane
mapping seminar hosted by Kegel
at Farmingdale Lanes. During the
presentation, the mapping process
was explained as was how it
improves the base scoring condi-
tion.
Using a video of Pete Weber
bowling in Kegels training center
bowling on a pair of lanes, one of
which was purposely sloped to
1/4000th and the adjoining perfect-
ly level, as Farmingdales now are.
Mongeau showed the dramatic
difference in ball reaction, from
lane to lane. Weber would hit the
exact same spot on both lanes, at
exactly the same speed and angle,
and see drastically different results--burying the ball on one lane and
missing the head pin to the right on
the other. Proof that the underling
unevenness of the lane, not just the
pattern of lane conditioner can dra-
matically affect ball reaction.
After explaining lane mapping
and sharing the Weber video,
Mongeau took Maple Family
Centers bowlers to the lanes at
Farmingdale, had them bowl 4
games across 8 pair, on a different
conditioning patterns, not letting on
what each pair or lane offered. All
were asked the record their scores,
their favorite pair of lanes, and to
write comments on what they expe-
rienced on each pair/lane.
The scores, comments and condi-
tioning patterns provide
Farmingdale Lanes with valued
information on what scoring condi-
tion works best.
We recognize Kegels full under-
standing of lanes, surfaces and all
that goes into scorability. Thats
why we invested in lane mapping.
We are seeing the results right this
very minute and couldnt be happi-
er for Farmingdales bowlers,
myself among them states Joe
LaSpina, proprietor.

The end results . . . better carry . . . better scores . . . happier bowlers.
