Ricky Ayers 300-801,
Rich Rodriguez 300 at Hy-Way
East Islip, NY - The 1st annual
Sandy Catalano Open was held at
East Islip Lanes and over 400
bowlers competed for more than
$25,000 in prizes. The two day event
crowned three separate champions;
Rich Ambrosino, Holtsville, NY won
the 49 & under scratch title and
$2,500, Tim Regan, East Northport,NY won the senior scratch title and
$1,500, and Alex Ware, Brooklyn,
NY won the handicap title and
$1,500. But the biggest winners were
the youth of Long Island as over
$2,000 in scholarship money was
raised.
This event was created by the
Catalano Family to remember Sandy
Catalano, who passed away in
February, 2009. Sandy dedicated his
entire life to his family, business, and
bowling - especially coaching youth
bowlers. The Sandy Catalano Open will be an annual event
with proceeds donated to The Sandy Catalano Scholarship
fund.
What makes the this Open unique is it is actually three sep-arate competitions with three separate champions crowned.
The richest event was the 49 & under scratch tournament
which attracted some of the best bowlers in the tri-state area.
But in the end it was a local house bowler that won the title.
Rich Ambrosino bowls in league at East Islip Lanes and he
promised the Catalano family whatever money he won would
be donated back to the scholarship fund. Rich came through
in a big way by winning the title and its $2,500 top prize.
The final shootout was exciting as Rich shot a 265 to defeat
Brian Soto of Kew Gardens, NY who rolled a 236 and earned
$1,250 and Long Island bowling hero Brian Ziesig ofLevittown who earned $700 by shooting a 235. A total of 17
bowlers advanced to the finals which featured a beat half-the-
field elimination format.
The second event was the senior scratch tournament and
their final match was an exciting duel. Tim Regan of East
Northport threw 3 strikes in the tenth
frame to defeat Don Hicks of W.
Babylon, NY 258-256. Tim earned
$1,500 for his victory while Don took
home $750 for second place. A total
of 12 seniors advanced to the finals
with Mike Dioguardo rolling the
highest senior series of the event with
a 744.The largest entry count of the three
events was the handicap tournament
which drew an amazing 211 entries.
Alex Ware of Brooklyn took home
the title and won the $1,500 top prize.
The final four shootout was exciting
as Alex rolled a 272 (with handicap)
just getting by James Walsh of Glen
Cove, NY who rolled a 259 with
handicap. Jim earned $750 for sec-
ond while Mike Angelus of
Centereach finished third with a 257
handicap game and earned $550.
Rounding out the top 4 was Kevin Dekenipp of Shirley, NY
who won $450 with a 244 handicap game. A total of 27
bowlers advanced to the handicap finals.
The 1st annual Sandy Catalano Open was a huge successand plans are already underway for the 2011 event. There
were many tears throughout the weekend as everyone
remembered what a great bowler, bowling coach, and person
Sandy was.
The Catalano family would like to thank all of the sponsors
and volunteers that made the event possible.

ALLEN PARK, Mich. Riga
Kalfas of Florence, Ky., revived
his game just in time to win theProfessional Bowlers Association
Regional Players Championship
at Thunderbowl Lanes.
Kalfas, a 42-year-old truck driv-
er by day and bowling pro shop
operator by night, defeated Chris
Collins of Savannah, Ga., 236-
216, to complete a near-perfect
day and claim the $7,500 first
prize along with a guaranteed
berth in the 2011 PBA
Tournament of Champions, a
record $1 million event with a
$250,000 first prize.
Coming into the Detroit area
event, however, Kalfas was on the
brink of giving up the game.Three weeks ago, I was bowl-
ing so bad, I didnt plan on bowl-
ing anything, the former PBA
Touring Player said. I felt like the
game had passed me by. To win
this title is unbelievable. I cant
describe how it feels. Im numb.
After qualifying fifth in the field
of 172 non-exempt PBA members
to advance to the single-elimina-
tion match play finals, Kalfas lostfirst game of day, 254-252, to Bo
Goergen of Midland, Mich., but
he didnt lose again, winning nine
consecutive games for the victory.
His closest call was a 210-209
squeeker against Tommy Gollick
of Oberlin, Pa., in the semifinal
round.
I was throwing the ball good
until toward the end, he said,
but by the grace of God, I held
on. I dont know how.
The Regional Players
Championship is one of two
major championships for PBA
regional competitors, and a win
means a paid entry into theTournament of Champions. Ill
probably bowl that one, Kalfas
said with a relieved laugh.
Hopefully this win will loosen up
my arm swing a bit.
