Professional bowlers coming to Quincy for teaching clinic and pro-am tournament May 4

QUINCY — It is more than a pleasure for Pam Williams, owner of the Tangerine Bowl, to announce an event like Quincy has never seen.

On Sunday, May 4, Williams will be bringing six world class professional bowlers to Quincy for a teaching clinic and pro-am tournament. The clinic, organized by USBC Hall of Fame bowler Sean Rash, will be conducted in the morning, followed by lunch. In the afternoon, Rash and his friends will conduct a pro-am where local bowlers can bowl with the PBA professionals.

The morning clinic will be limited to 60 bowlers. The pros will work with a group of 10 bowlers at a time for approximately 30 minutes, then will rotate to another group of lanes so that attendees will get the chance to work with multiple pros. There will also be time for a Q&A session and pictures and autographs with the pros before the lunch break.

The pro-am will be limited to 84 bowlers, who will bowl with the pros, rotating lanes after each of three games, allowing local amateur bowlers the opportunity to bowl with multiple pros.

In lieu of a cash prize structure, the pros will be giving away autographed jerseys and balls throughout the day to attendees.
