Travis Bathurst: Bowler of the Week

Bowler: Travis Bathurst, 24, of Dallastown.

Latest bowling accomplishment: Rolled an 824 series at Suburban Bowlerama.

I started bowling: At Lincolnway when I was 13.

Bowler I have learned the most from: Steve Elicker.

Best bowling advice I ever received: Don’t get too uptight; have fun.

Most memorable bowling moment: Rolling my first 300 game two years ago.

Part of my game I’m working on improving: Adjusting to the lane conditions.

Bowling appeals to me because: Everyone can do it and it’s very social.

Non-bowlers don’t realize: the complexity of the game and how much difference there is between pro and amateur bowlers.

The toughest part about bowling is: Stringing strikes together.

Future goal: Although I have a 300 game and an 800 series, I would like to accomplish both of them in the same night.
