Burton, at 82, Still Holds a Strong Passion for Bowling — In The Pocket

Jim Burton’s enthusiasm for bowling is nothing short of extraordinary.

Despite a recent injury to his right bicep that has slowed him down, 82-year-old Burton ⁤continues⁢ to⁤ bowl throughout the year‌ and remains a formidable competitor in his two leagues at Town ’N Country Lanes and various⁣ tournaments. ​With the assistance of Jeff Segel, a seasoned scratch bowler and tournament ⁤organizer, Burton is now ​more⁢ recognized​ for managing the highly popular Amateur League Bowlers Association of⁢ New York, ⁣a⁢ monthly⁤ tour for bowlers with averages of less than 215.

The season opener for his A.L.B.A.N.Y. tour is set for ⁣Sunday at 9:30 a.m.‍ at‍ Uncle Sam Lanes in Troy. Only members of the organization with established averages are eligible for this event, a unique 3-6-9 tournament that awards ⁢free ⁢strikes to everyone in those specific frames.

“My father ran a 3-6-9 tournament fifty years ago, and I remembered​ that,” Burton recalled. “Most of the proprietors have that program in their computers, so⁣ I thought it would be ​a good‍ idea to bring that back. I like to mix things up for our​ members ​every now and then. I’ve organized a no-tap tournament before and‍ also a doubles‍ tournament⁢ with a twist.”

The Burton name has a long-standing association ⁢with local bowling history, as​ Jim’s father was George Burton, the long-serving executive director of the Northeast ‍Bowling​ Proprietors ‌of New ‌York. George Burton managed the highly popular ​Match ⁢Game Championships, which⁣ used ​to be the local qualifier for the U.S. Open. He was also⁢ a beat writer for the New York Yankees, and Jim had the chance ⁣to meet the ⁢likes of “Moose” Skowron, Yogi Berra, Enos⁢ Slaughter and manager Casey Stengel during​ his youth.

Burton eventually ⁣relocated to the bowling hub ⁤of Detroit and lived there for most of his life before returning to the Capital Region to be near‍ his remaining family members.

“I’m still a massive baseball fan, and I’m still a die-hard Yankees⁤ fan,” he said. “I watch the Yankees on ⁣TV, but I’ll also ⁢watch the Detroit Tigers when they are on.⁤ I’m not the⁤ kind of ​Yankees fan who is World⁤ Series or nothing.‍ I ​enjoy the journey more than the destination.”

That’s how he feels about‌ bowling,⁢ too.

“I adore the ⁤game of bowling so much that I’ll​ do whatever I can to⁢ stay involved,” he stated. “That’s why ⁣Jeff and I ⁢organize these tournament ⁢events — to be around the game and try to inspire​ people ⁢to compete,‍ especially those‌ who don’t think they are⁣ tournament bowlers. Our organization gives those bowlers a taste​ of what it’s like to compete in tournament conditions. I would say that 95% of them discovered that they really enjoy it ⁣once they give it a try.

“It’s the competition ⁢that’s ⁤the key. What I call⁣ ‘regular’ bowlers⁢ don’t compete ⁣just to win some money. They enjoy the opportunity,⁣ and I find that to be the case across all the averages of our members. That’s why we don’t⁤ pay a huge amount on top. We pay a lot⁢ deeper than‍ many​ other tournaments, so more people get to cash and feel like they’ve achieved ⁤something special.”

Even though ‍Burton was⁣ a longtime scratch bowler, he understands that handicap bowlers ⁢outnumber their more skilled counterparts by a ⁣significant margin, especially in the ⁣Capital Region.

“When I was living⁣ in Detroit, you could find a league where all the teams could come in with entering averages between 950 and 1,025. We could get 32 teams ⁢without ⁢any problem,” he explained. “But around here, it’s not as large of an area and there simply⁢ aren’t that many competitive leagues for scratch⁣ players.”

When Burton⁣ first ​came to the Capital Region, he ran the ⁣New Era Senior Tour, a scratch tournament for seniors with age-bracketed⁤ divisions.

“We would get 50 bowlers‌ in the beginning, but then it got down to 30-35 per event,” Burton said. “But I ⁢remembered when I first came to this​ area that Morris Cramer told me if we‌ could find a way⁤ to get ⁤a tournament for handicap bowlers we could draw from a much larger group. When the Huck Finn TV tournament series stopped, Jeff Segel and I thought about starting the A.L.B.A.N.Y. series.”

Burton said his‌ numbers ⁣started out ‌around 88 bowlers per tournament.

“Now, we’re between 65-75, although we have 85 members with established averages,” he explained.

Burton ⁤charges a $50 entry fee per event, but you pay only $40 if you get⁢ your entry in by the early deadline, usually the Monday before the tournament. There is⁤ also a $20 membership fee. Handicap is⁤ 100%‌ of 215, with a maximum of 75 pins per ⁤game.

The rest ⁣of the schedule includes a doubles event on Oct. 20⁣ at Town ‘n Country Lanes, Nov. 10 at Uncle Sam Lanes, ⁣Dec. 8 at KPA Latham, another doubles event at Sportsman’s Bowl on Jan. 5, two ‌members-only bonus events⁤ in February, March⁤ 30 at Sportsman’s Bowl ‍and May 4 at KPA Latham for the “Main​ Event” season ender.

Burton, known for his one-step approach on the lanes, still enjoys giving bowling ​lessons​ on Fridays at Town ’N Country Lanes. His mother, ‌Marge, was⁤ the⁤ one who taught him how to⁤ bowl, ⁢and she helped him refine ⁣his game for many years after ‍that. He’s taught‌ many area bowlers, especially seniors or players with physical challenges, that same one-step delivery. But he said he’s been struggling a bit with his own game.

“I⁣ was averaging 215 ‌before I got hurt. Now, I’m​ down ‍to about 195,” he lamented. “What I‌ found out is that each year is more like three or ⁣four as far as the physical aging part.”

He’s​ rolled 28 perfect games and owns a high triple of ​826.

“I bowled that triple within the first six months I⁤ moved here. It was in the Blizzard Bowl ⁤at⁤ Boulevard⁢ Bowl,” Burton⁤ noted.

Burton’s highest ​averages were‍ between 230-233 in a couple of‍ seasons at the now defunct Sunset Lanes.

“I didn’t throw my first⁢ perfect game until I was in my late 40s, but I’ve thrown at least one 300 in⁢ my 40s,⁣ 50s,‍ 60s, 70s and 80s,” he said. “I’d like to get at least one ⁣more.”

Burton added that he struggles with his speed these days as he’s lost a bit of ⁣zip on his ⁢delivery due ​to​ his arm injury.

“Years ‌ago, the game of bowling involved more physical adjustments. Now, you need more knowledge of equipment and ball motion,” Burton said. ⁤“It’s more of a science now. You have to⁣ know which ball to use and when to change. I think hitting the pocket has become easier, but carrying ‌strikes might be harder sometimes.

“But I’m not going to give up. I still love​ this game and will do ⁣anything I can to stay physically able to⁢ bowl.”
