Lessons near the US Open with Ron Clifton?

I am going to the US Open for a few days and I should be able to make some time for a few lessons in a nearby center.

If anyone knows of a center close by that would be a good place to work please let me know.

I found an AMF center on the internet: http://www.amf.com/midstatelanes/centerHomepage.htm

Mid State Lanes
Old Bridge Tpke.
East Brunswick, NJ 08816
Has anyone bowled there?

The cost for lessons:
1 person for 2 hours $120
2 people for 2 hours $200

If anyone is interested PM me or email me at rclifton@triad.rr.com

Bowl great!

Midstate is not far away at all. Go north on Rt. 1 to Rt. 18, then go south on Rt. 18 for a couple of miles. Make ju-handle u-turn on Rt 18 whenyo usee the sign for the "Mid State Mall"; it's about 1 mile past the NJ Turnpike, which you will pass over (no jokes).

Mid State has new-ish AMF synthetics; they've fixed up the place a little at a time. It's behind a big strip mall, at the back behind a ShopRite supermarket. The outside of Midstate is not as nice as the inside, but it's not shabby.

A little further North on Rt 9 are two older smaller (not small) places.
(Go North on Rt 1 to RT 287/440; go South on Rt 287 (or East on Rt 400, same highway) to Rt 9, then go North on Rt 9.
Woodbridge Lanes, Just off Rt 9, http://www.woodbridgebowling.com/
Majestic Lanes, on Rt 9 on the northbound side of Rt 9, maybe 1/2 mile from where you turn onto Rt 9: http://www.majesticlanes.com/

Midstate is closer, probably nicer, and more conducive to your needs for instructions. 24 lanes on each side of the house.
With Carolier being occupied bythe US Open, not sure how busy MidState will be during that time, since it is the closest alternative. Usually getting a pair to practice on during the middle of the day is no problem.

mid state is a pretty nice house, its only about 5-10 minutes away from carioler, allthough i find it to be easy (i subbed one game for a buddy of mine and shot 240 with no practice ) not sure about the quality of the coaching however...

Is anyone else going to the US Open?

I always love to meet PR posters.
