Bowler: Mike Keating, 67, of York.
Latest bowling accomplishment: Rolled his high series of 757 at East Lincoln Lanes and two days later rolled his first 300 at Suburban Bowlerama.
I started bowling: Nearly 40 years ago.
Bowlers I’ve learned the most from: Frank Curry, Ken Dixon, Glenn Himes, Bill McCauslin and many more.
Best bowling advice I ever received: Slow your approach and get the ball out on the lane.
Most memorable bowling moment: When the 8-pin fell on the first ball of the 10th frame en route to my 300 game. It looked like it was going to be a stone 8, but it unbelievably toppled. With that break, I felt destined to roll my first 300.
Part of my game I’m working on improving: My timing—coordinating my footwork and arm swing.
Bowling appeals to me because: I love the competition and the challenge.
Non-bowlers don’t realize: How important making your spares are to becoming a good bowler. They tend to think it’s all about the strikes.
The toughest part about bowling is: Keeping your concentration.
Future goals: Roll another 300 game and become more consistent.
