There will be no group bowling classes at Sunset Station on Aug. 1st due to a tournament. There will still be bowling at the Gold Coast in the morning at the regularly scheduled start times of 8 am and 9:30 am. Our next scheduled trip to Dixie Bowl in St. George Utah is now set for Friday, Aug. 20th. Also our next trip to the Pahrump Nugget Bowling Center will be on Friday, Aug. 6th. More info can be found below and Las Vegas bowlers are welcome to take a trip up to join us like several bowlers have done in the past. Both places are a lot of fun with lots of friendly bowlers and staff and plenty of good food. How about that drive through the gorge going to Utah?
 
Congratulations to 10 yr. old Leah Glazer who rolled an awesome 222 game last week in the Saturday morning junior league. Their team (Learn to Bowl.com) is now in first place. Leah, Natallie Kowalski, Rachel Csanyi, and Matthew Wilcock will be tough to beat with only 4 weeks to go in the summer season.
 
Congratulations to Andy Kennedy who bowled a 300 game (his second) while bowling in a tournament at the Suncoast. Andy has been a regular at the Gold Coast Sunday group classes for a couple of months while honing his game. Nice bowling Andy and great bowling last week in the PBA Experience league also.
 
Congratulations to the current Bowler of the Month and his wife Jean for winning their division in the doubles tournament at the Pahrump Nugget on Saturday, July 17th. They blew away the field by over 100 pins and Mike also won the individual side pot for high singles. Great bowling you guys. UPDATE: July 21st Michael has bowled his new all time high series of 664 by rolling games of 199, 245, & 220. Jean rolled rolled her new high series of 485 during the same league and had 3 consistent games of 160, 173 & 152.

Discount plans available for multiple lesson purchases
(highly recommended for the greatest opportunity for improvement).

Certain group classes are better designed for "tips and pointers", and are excellent for middle to high average bowlers.
They can also be great for newer bowlers who have already had a private lesson or 2 and want to practice things
we've previously worked on without the expense of a private lesson.
What you learn today, doesn't become "muscle memory" until a minimum of 20-30 hours
of effective practice and repetition. The most effective practice is to bowl less games, more often.
Try to avoid long marathon practice sessions when learning new techniques.
Different themes and special guests/coaches at group classes on certain dates
(please check the web site for schedules and any changes).
       Feel like you're not moving forward with your bowling game? ..........maybe a lesson or 3 could help!

Learn to Bowl.com Star Bowler of the Month                             
(June - 2010)                                 

Mike Reynolds      

"Learn to Bowl.com
Star Bowler of the Month".

Congratulations to Mike Reynolds
for being this month's
Bowler of the Month.

Things have clicked and the many lessons we've done have really come together for Mike in the last month or two as Mike's scores have skyrocketed. Mike started out the month by winning his division in a local tournament at the Nugget Bowl in Pahrump while teamed with his lovely wife Jean. It was just a short time later that Mike bowled his all time high game and series during an afternoon league on June 15th. Mike started out with a 190 then proceeded to start game 2 with a double, followed by two 9-pin spares, then he threw the next 8 strikes to finish off the game with an outstanding 268 and a grand total of 10 strikes that game. He finished the set with another nice game of 180 which included making the 6-7 split and a grand total of 638. Mike has a "book average" of only 167 which it seems is nothing but a memory at this point. Just a few days later on June 18th, Mike again set another new high series record. He put together games of 245, 205, and 193 for a fantastic 643 series.
If you want to get more hook and a better roll on the ball, learn to get your thumb out of the ball first without turning your thumb too far to the left. Take a look at Mike below showing you how it's done. Click on the picture for a larger view.

If that wasn't enough, near the end of June, Mike bowled in a no-tap tournament (9 pins on the first ball counts as a strike) and destroyed the field by rolling a 936 3-game total with handicap. There's no stopping Mike as he improves with every outing. Mike is planning to bowl in more tournaments in the coming months as he pits his skills and talents up against other top bowlers. Mike is a professional poker player also and he knows there is a lot of money to be won in amateur bowling tournaments these days. Good luck Mike and thanks very much for the opportunity to help you with your game and for your friendship and good times when I come to Pahrump. I look forward to seeing how far you can go with your skills and dedication to be the best bowler you can be.
