Local Bowling News

November 18, 2008
It was a long time coming, but Lawrence Gibson of Hampton finally got one — a 300 game. Gibson, who has been bowling off and on for about 40 years, accomplished the feat Thursday at Century Lanes. Gibson, 63, said he had a little luck with two Brooklyn carries and a light hit on his final ball, but everything else was flush. "It was a relief to finally get a 300. As you get older, you begin to think you're not going to get one," he said.
By Ed Richards - Daily Press

Also in November bowling his 1st 300 game Joseph C. Satterfield at Centry Lane.

Bowling Tip

Keeping Your Eye On The Target :
Keeping your eye on your target from start to finish will eliminate many inconsistencies in the approach. You would be surprised how difficult it is to do three times in a row. Remember, start to finish without losing sight of it.
