5 FOR NEWBIES - THIS IS WHERE WE'VE COME FROM...

Each year, new tournament bowlers try their skill in the tournament, so it's important to let them know we didn't start as a $60k plus event. The first NMO in 2004 attracted 78 entries, mostly from New Mexico, and bowling for a $14,000 prize-fund. Year two was a little better at 89 bowlers and over $15,400 in cash prizes. Fast forward to last year at 211 entries and $60,310. Over the last eight years we've averaged over $48,600 a year and over 190 bowlers each time from twenty states. We always thought the tournament would grow in every way. Your entry this week is helping us to realize that earlier vision. Thank you so much! Texan Joe Findling displays good form at the line. He finished fourth in 2016. TARGET LINE BOWLING 300 GAME AWARD IS $1,000

Last year, Flagstaff, Arizona bowling coach, John Wilson paid out $1,550 to Benjamin Canfield and Nathan Bohr for 300's rolled during the main event and a pre-tournament sweeper. This year, his company, Target Line Bowling, has put up a $1,000 pot for the New Mexico Open qualifying and bracket play. If more than one 300 is bowled, the prize will be equally shared. There has been less than a dozen bowled in the tournament's first 13 years, so chances are good it may even jackpot to the 2018 event.

We use the excitement and publicity generated by the annual New Mexico Open to promote a strong fall league season that starts in August and September. The seventeen leagues give our Center the ability to continue to upgrade "plant and equipment" by securing predictable and sufficient business levels through next May. This past season allowed us the funds to replace old 25" scoring monitors with new 43" flat screens across the house, improve the Glow bowling sessions' lighting - and buzz - on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday nights as well as replace outdated parking lot and exterior building brightness with latest technology LED lighting, thereby enhancing customer and staff security. The lanes have remained predictably high-scoring this summer with more than three dozen perfect games and numerous 800 3-game sets bowled in leagues and tournaments. That scoring consistency is a major factor when you're trying to get a 34-week league commitment from folks. Our aim is to "fill the house" with 24 lanes of league in the early shift each day, Sunday through Friday. Pick up a green league sign-up flyer at the front desk, better yet, fill it out today and leave it with us, so we can "get your body in to league bowling" this fall.
