We were proud to once again support our veterans through this year’s BVL donation. During the 2024–2025 season, our bowling community raised more than $37,000 . Of that total, $16,000 has been designated for Menlo Park, $8,000 for Honor Flight, $8,000 for Serenity Stables, and $5,000 for BVL’s national programs.

On November 10, 2025, Monmouth County USBC members were invited to take part in the Menlo Park Veterans Home’s Veterans Day Celebration. This year’s event carried even more significance as it also marked the 250th birthday of the Marine Corps , adding a special sense of pride and reflection to the day.

Our partnership with the Menlo Park Veterans Home now spans more than 17 years, and since 2008 we’ve proudly contributed over $114,000 to support the veterans who call it home. We applaud the bowlers of Monmouth County for their generosity, dedication, and unwavering support. Your commitment makes all of this possible—and together, we continue to make a meaningful impact on the lives of those who served.

Monmouth County USBC’s 2025 BVL Pro-Am: A Sold-Out Success!

This year’s Monmouth County USBC BVL Pro-Am was nothing short of amazing!

USBC to Implement a Tiered Center Certification Program

kris@theriseagency.com (Kristopher Brus ) — Wed, 27 Nov 2019 16:26:53 GMT

USBC to Implement a Tiered Center Certification Program

ARLINGTON, Texas – Following a recent study of the lane certification process and analyzing data from lane inspections, the United States Bowling Congress determined it will implement a center certification program, featuring tiered levels of certification and a national staff of lane inspectors, over the next five years.

Details of the tiered center certification program will be announced at the 2021 USBC Convention. The USBC Equipment and Specifications Committee, which made the decision to implement the program, has delegated authority from the USBC Board to make changes to equipment specifications.

USBC also determined it will not require local associations to perform annual lane inspections as the USBC Equipment Specifications and Certifications team continues its work to fully develop the program. The decision means all bowling centers will be certified until the national staff begins center certifications in 2022.

Once the tiered center certification program is in place, centers will be inspected and assigned to a tier based on the level it meets in regard to USBC specifications. The decision to make any necessary improvements, based on the results of an inspection, will be left to the center and no longer mandated by USBC.

Webinars

USBC will hold three webinars with USBC staff for everyone else who may have questions. The schedule (all times Eastern):

Tuesday, Dec. 3 at 10 a.m.
Wednesday, Dec. 4 at 3 p.m.
Thursday, Dec. 5 at 8 p.m.

Altering Bowling Ball Surface

kris@theriseagency.com (Kristopher Brus ) — Sun, 01 Sep 2019 20:04:17 GMT

Rule 18: Bowling Ball – Altering Surface

A significant change in Rule 18 became effective Aug. 1, 2019. Bowlers no longer can use liquids or add anything, including but not limited to rosin or powder, to the surface of the bowling ball. We have created this document to explain how the rule change affects you and your bowling ball(s) during USBC league and tournament play.

Rule 18 – Bowling Ball - Altering Surface

While bowling in USBC competition, a bowling ball cannot:

Have the surface altered by the use of an abrasive.
Be cleaned with any liquid substance or cleaning agent.
Have any foreign material on it including, but not limited to, powder, rosin, marker or paint.

All bowling balls so altered or cleaned must be removed from the competition.

Note: Should a foreign substance appear on the outer surface of a bowling ball which cannot be removed with a dry towel, an approved cleaner may be used with consent from a league or tournament officer.

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS RELATED TO THE RULE CHANGE

When does competition start? Competition starts once any bowler throws a ball for score in a league or tournament.
Can I clean my ball with an approved cleaner during practice? You can clean your ball with an approved cleaner during practice, unless otherwise specified by league or tournament rules.
Can I clean my ball with an approved cleaner between games during certified competition? No. You cannot clean your ball between games, because the competition has started.
Can I clean my ball with an approved cleaner between tournament squads? You can clean your ball with an approved cleaner between squads unless otherwise specified by tournament rules. “During competition” could be defined by tournaments to include or exclude practice and time between squads.
What type of towels are approved for use during USBC certified competition? Any dry towel or cloth that does not alter the surface of the bowling ball is allowed. This includes the use of dry shammys.
If I used a towel with a liquid cleaner on it to clean my ball prior to the start of the competition, can I use that same towel to clean the ball during the competition? No, another towel should be used. That same towel can only be used during the competition once the towel is dry.
If I take a ball out of my bag that I have not bowled with, can I clean it with an approved cleaner? No, approved cleaners cannot be used once competition has begun. This rule applies to balls from a bowler’s bowling bag, locker or car, etc. We suggest you clean all your bowling balls prior to the start of competition.
What happens if a bowler uses a cleaner, abrasive, or puts a foreign substance on the ball? If the bowler was not aware of the rule, the ball is removed from competition. The bowler also should be given an explanation of the rule. Conversely, if the bowler knows a ball cannot be cleaned, patted with rosin or powder or use an abrasive, the ball must be removed from competition and the games are subject to forfeiture. If there is a question as to whether a bowler knew the rule or not, the league board of directors makes the determination.
Can I pat my ball with rosin or powder if I wipe the ball before it is delivered? No. Wiping the ball with a towel does not make the ball compliant to the rule. Patting a ball with a product is adding a foreign substance to the ball and cannot be done during competition. A product can only be applied to a bowler’s hand and not leave residue on the surface of the ball.
If my ball comes back with residue on it and I cannot clean it with my dry towel, rag or shammy, can I use an approved cleaner? Yes, provided you get permission from a league officer or tournament official. If you clean your ball without prior permission, you may be asked to remove the ball from competition, and/or the games may be subject to forfeiture.
When I have permission to clean my ball, may I clean the entire ball? Yes, you may clean the entire surface of a bowling ball or just the area needing to be cleaned.
I have a ball cleaner that has the USBC “Approved Anytime” logo on it. Can I still use the cleaner during competition? No, the cleaner can no longer be used during competition.
I still see there are products with the USBC “Approved Anytime” logo on it. Why is that? USBC communicated the rule change with bowling ball cleaner companies prior to the adoption of the rule changes to allow the companies to make the necessary adjustments to labeling and cycle through existing inventories. There will be USBC “Approved Anytime” products in the marketplace until inventories are depleted; however, these products cannot be used during competition.

USBC Will Lower Youth Membership Maximum Age to 18 Starting with the 2020-2021 Season

kris@theriseagency.com (Kristopher Brus ) — Sun, 01 Sep 2019 19:54:48 GMT

USBC Will Lower Youth Membership Maximum Age to 18 Starting with the 2020-2021 Season

ARLINGTON, Texas – The United States Bowling Congress will lower the maximum age for USBC Youth membership to 18 starting with the 2020-2021 season.  

The decision to lower to the maximum age from 20 to 18, with agreement from the Bowling Proprietors’ Association of America and the International Bowling Campus Youth Committee, will align bowling with other youth sports.  

“Over the last decade, we have made changes to USBC Youth programs and tournaments to provide a model comparable with other youth sports,” IBC Youth Managing Director of Youth Development Gary Brown said. “We moved to age-based divisions, as opposed to average, for events, to provide peer-to-peer competition. Setting the maximum age for youth bowlers to 18 aligns us with the standard of other national youth sports organizations.”  

A U18 division will become the top division for the Pepsi Youth and Bowling.com Youth Open Championships for the 2020-2021 season. During the next season, USBC will address how the age change will impact the 2021 Junior Gold Championships, which will have a separate U20 division. Please visit BOWL.com/YouthAgeChange for additional information.  

Starting with the 2020-2021 season, USBC Youth membership policy will state youth membership is available to individuals who have not reached the age of 18 prior to Aug. 1 of the current bowling season. The decision to lower the maximum age will directly impact 3.3 percent of the total youth membership. The change also better aligns USBC Youth membership with new regulations from the U.S. Center for SafeSport requiring training for those over 18 who participate in a sport with minors.   

Any USBC Youth member who reaches the age of 18 during the bowling season is required to complete the U.S. Center for SafeSport online education program, which is free, to continue to compete in leagues that have participants under age 18. This requirement was announced with the release of the revised Registered Volunteer Program (RVP) handbook .

  The new age limit marks the second time the USBC Youth maximum age has been lowered. In 2009, USBC lowered the maximum age for youth bowlers from 22 to 20.

SafeSport Training For Adult Leagues Only

kris@theriseagency.com (Kristopher Brus ) — Sun, 01 Sep 2019 19:42:22 GMT

SafeSport Training For Adult Leagues Only

Starting with this membership year (August 1, 2019-July 31, 2020) :

USBC is a member of the US Olympic Committee and must abide by their guidelines. There is a new training requirement to protect our youth bowlers.

As an Adult league, if you allow a bowler UNDER the age of 18 to bowl in your league, you fall under these new SafeSport guidelines. This means that everyone OVER the age of 18 in that league must be SafeSport trained. If you do not have any minors in your league, you can ignore this requirement.

Adult Members, Registered Volunteers, and USBC members 18 years of age and older must complete the U. S. Center for SafeSport’s Core Center for SafeSport Training before regular contact with an amateur athlete who is a minor begins; or within the first 45 days of initial membership, or upon beginning a new role subjecting the adult to this policy.

Take the free, online training within 45 days of the start of the league - links can be found at BOWL.com/RVP.

The course will help you recognize if an athlete is being abused. Most importantly, you will learn how to prevent this from happening or how to respond if the abuse already has happened. This training ensures you are a part of our daily effort to make athlete well-being the centerpiece of our nation’s sport programs.

The SafeSport Trained course covers the following topics in-depth:

Mandatory Reporting
Sexual Misconduct Awareness Education
Emotional and Physical Misconduct

League Secretaries will be asked to track progress and USBC will suspend membership of bowlers that do not comply with this new requirement.

Every Board Member on the Monmouth County USBC Association has taken the SafeSport Training and completed a criminal background check as part of the USBC Registered Volunteer Program. USOC and USBC are extending only the SafeSport part of this requirement to all adults that have regular contact with youth bowlers as is the case with Adult/Youth leagues.

If you have any questions, please talk to your lane representative (their contact information can be found on the Monmouth County USBC poster in your bowling center).

Thank you,

John Barrett

Monmouth County USBC Association Manager

In Memoriam of Erwin P. "Luke" Forrest

kris@theriseagency.com (Kristopher Brus ) — Fri, 15 May 2015 04:00:00 GMT

In Memoriam of Erwin P. "Luke" Forrest

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of a legend in Monmouth County Bowling.

You may have known him just as "Luke", but he always made his presence felt.

"Luke" was a husband, a father, a grandfather and a great grandfather.

He was an engineer that worked on Defense Department projects (shhh, his name is on a satellite that orbits the earth).

You may have known "Luke" for his reporting of all things bowling, from the 1950's on "Luke" reported on bowling events, serious, funny, sad and record setting events for the Long Branch Daily Record, the Red Bank Register and the Asbury Park Press.

"Luke's" accomplishments are so numerous that we cannot possibly list them all here so we are including a link to his obituary here.

"Luke" we thank you for everything you did for Monmouth County and the game we all love so much. And we thank "Luke's" family for sharing him with us.

It seems appropriate that we can look up in the sky and know that some small part of him is there looking down on us. Rest in peace "Luke".

The family will receive their friends from 6 to 9 PM on Friday, May 29 at the John P. Condon Funeral Home, 804 State Hwy. 36, Leonardo, NJ 07737.

A Funeral Mass will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 27 at St. Agnes Church, 103 Center Ave, Atlantic Highlands 07716.

In lieu of flowers, expressions of sympathy should be directed to the St. Barnabas Hospice, CW6, 300 Second Ave., Long Branch, NJ 07740, or the Alzheimer’s Association, 12 Rozel Road, Princeton, NJ 08542.

As part of a nationwide grant program, Veterans Day was a little bit brighter at the Menlo Park Veterans’ Home, recently accepting a check in the amount of $1996.00 from the Monmouth County USBC Bowling Association representing the Bowlers to Veterans Link (BVL). BVL is a national charity, which raises almost a million dollars annually to fund recreation and therapeutic programs and services for America’s veterans. Founded in 1942, the Bowlers to Veterans Link is operated and supported by the sport of bowling.

The grant will be used to support whatever needs the residents have. Currently, the center serves Central Jersey area veterans who will benefit from and enjoy the new equipment and programs.

“The sport of bowling, through the BVL, recognizes the tremendous sacrifice that our military veterans have made for our country,” explains BVL Board Chair Darlene Baker. “Our bowling centers and league bowlers are committed to improving the quality of life for veterans. This gift in New Jersey is just part of our on-going effort to boost the spirits of our veterans, and show them we care.”

BVL Joins in Veterans Day Honors

BVL Joins in Veterans Day Honors

As part of the National Veterans Day Organizing Committee, responsible for Veterans Day activities in Washington, D.C. and around the country, Bowlers to Veterans Link (BVL) representatives participated in a myriad of activities on November 11, 2009 to recognize and honor those who have served our country.

BVL Board Chair Darlene Baker and Board Member Walter Hall began the day with a breakfast at the White House hosted by President and Mrs. Obama and Vice President and Mrs. Biden. Baker and Hall attended breakfast amid the company of leaders of other Veterans Service Organizations and special guests.

Later that morning, formal ceremonies in the Amphitheater at Arlington National Cemetery opened with the Honorary Presidential Color Guard processing before the President and other dignitaries. Virginia United States Bowling Congress members Johnny Harris (Greater Lynchburg USBC), carrying the BVL flag, and Robbie Thomas (Allegheny-Bath USBC), marching with the U.S. flag, represented BVL.

"Being part of the Veterans Day ceremonies on behalf of BVL was probably one of the top five experiences in my life," says Harris, a past president of the Virginia State Bowling Association and currently an association manager in Lynchburg, Va. "It was an honor and a privilege, and a day I will never forget." The event, which featured speeches by President Obama and Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary Shinseki, was the result of a collaborative effort of the more than 40 member organizations of the Committee.

A BVL tradition continued that morning as BVL Board members took part in a wreath laying at the Tomb of the Unknowns. Representatives of America's bowling centers also participated in this special event. Joining BVL Board members Gary Anderson and Tony Manna and Member Emeritus Elaine Hagin were Dave Zeitz, Chief Operating Officer, and Mary Harrar, Executive Administrator of Thunderbird Lanes (Philadelphia. Pa.).

BVL Board members concluded the day with a presentation to Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki. Shinseki accepted a facsimile check of more than $825,000, representing the amount of money raised by BVL for America's veterans during the 2008-2009 league season. "You folks are tremendous," remarked Shinseki. "This illustrates a real commitment to our veterans - our thanks to the BVL for all you do."

Since its inception in 1942, BVL has raised more than $35 million to improve the lives of those who have served our country. The BVL is located in Metropolitan Washington, D.C. and is guided by representatives of the United States Bowling Congress and the Bowling Proprietors' Association of America.

Photos of these events are available at http://www.BowlforVeterans.org.

Story submitted from Bob Hodges...

Just returned from making a presentation to the Menlo Park Veteran's Home. We ask our bowlers at our tournaments every year to donate a $1.00 to Bowlers for Veterans Group. The past few years we raised over $1000.00. This year we were able to designate our own recipient of 75% of the money collected. In the picture from left to right are Bob Hodges Association VP and BVL Chairman, John Dulack the homes WII bowling champion ( they have weekly tournaments on the WII ), Lou Colucci Association President and Joe Brandspiegel the Homes CEO. The check was for $889.00.

John Petraglia PBA bowler and member of our association is bowling's spoke person for BVL. On Dec 5 he ran a fund raiser for BVL and collected around $1500.00 which will be added to the monies we can collect at our tournaments. So next year we will be able to give the facility some more money.

Emil Dudas & Gary Budra grab top spot at Open Championships

New Jersey Duo Grabs Top Spot at Open Championships

LAS VEGAS - Since becoming friends five years ago, Emil Dudas of Toms River, N.J., and Gary Budra of Howell, N.J., have teamed up on the

lanes for a number of local doubles events.

This week, the two took their show on the road and found success on bowling's biggest stage as they moved into the top spot in Regular

Doubles at the 2009 USBC Open Championships on Saturday.

This year's event at Cashman Center marked their second trip to the Open Championships together and their tournament debut as doubles

partners. It was the fourth overall appearance for Dudas and third for Budra.

Dudas paced the pair with games of 224, 259 and 236 for a 719 series, while Budra contributed 224, 204 and 213 for 641 and a 1,360 total.

Bowling on the same squad, Scott and Derek Hartnell of Kenosha, Wis., shot 1,353. Ed Ilano and USBC Hall of Famer Lisa Wagner of Auburn,

Ga., previously held the lead with 1,336.

"Every time you come here, you set goals for yourself," said Dudas, who added 653 in team and 646 in singles and moved into second place

in Regular All-Events with 2,018. "We came in here trying to win an eagle, and 1,400 was our target score. It's hard to shoot that well here,

and especially hard to get two guys to bowl that well together. Even though we shot lower than we hoped, we're in first place and it feels

great."

While Dudas and Budra met at their local bowling center, their friendship now extends beyond the lanes. If they are not bowling in league or

in a tournament, their families spend time together whenever schedules allow.

Being such good friends is crucial for communication on the lanes, and knowing each other's games can help make faster and more effective

decisions. And besides the obvious benefits of an extra set of eyes, it's always nice to have someone rooting for you.

"By now, we know what to look for, but the most important things are going out there and throwing good shots and keeping each other's

spirits up," Dudas said. "We were relaxed today and had a good time, and we are definitely flying home happy."

Budra added 638 in singles and 609 in team for a 1,888 all-events total. He and Dudas also helped Brick 2 of Toms River, N.J., into second

place in Team All-Events with 9,074. Nobody's Pro Shop of Yorktown, Va., leads with 9,226.

Also on Saturday, Jason Johnson of Macedonia, Ohio, put together games of 268, 236 and 268 for a 772 series and moved into second place

in Regular Singles. He also landed in fourth place in Regular All-Events with 1,999. Orin Baugher of Spokane, Wash., leads with 773, while

Scott Culp of Lima, N.Y., tops all-events with 2,066.

Presenting sponsors for the 2009 USBC Open Championships are the Coast Casinos in Las Vegas and the Eldorado Hotel Casino, Silver Legacy

Resort Casino and Circus Circus in Reno, Nev. Other participating sponsors are Kegel, official lane maintenance provider; Brunswick, capital

equipment supplier; Storm Products, Inc.; Binion's Gambling Hall and Hotel and Four Queens Hotel and Casino, the official brackets sponsors;

Sapphire Gentleman's Club; Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino; MGM Mirage; Jerry's Nugget Casino and Fitzgerald's Casino and Hotel.
