The very first bowling alley built in the US was in New York in 1840 called "The Knickerbockers" Here's a photograph of the center back in the day. Think we have tough conditions today? Good thing about those days - never had a pin jam or stuck ball!!! :-)

We will be starting a few fun things each month. We will be posting a bowling fun fact, historical event, etc. We will be doing an amateur bowler spotlight of the month and a pro spotlight of the month. If you feel that an amateur bowler (youth, lady, men's or senior) should be mentioned - please comment below. We will select one and get the facts from the bowler and give them their well derseved recognition.

Any Hammer Lovers out here? Otherwise known as Hammerheads! Comment below if you are please. I ask because we are setting up another page on our JMar Entertainment Facebook site as well as our website. We will be inviting anyone who throws Hammer or Brunswick Bowling family of brands. Once we get our group set up, we will highlight all of you and any of your accomlishments and honor scores. We will ask that you tell us which ball(s) you threw, the center that you threw it in, and the Pro Shop that drilled it for you. As well, if you have any photos of the event would be great. Take group photos of any friends that throw Hammer or Brunswick brands. Any pics that you can send of you wearing Hammer gear with you, your group, you and your buddies, etc. would be great. Help us make Hammer and Brunswick the staple brands. We need all of you Hammerheads!

** It seems that there may be a misunderstanding, we are partners and under contract with Brunswick/Hammer. We are simply promoting the brands that support us. We, JMar Entertainment, appreciate all the support of you. Hope this helps clear things up.

It is with deep regret that we have to inform the great residents of Jamestown, North Dakota and bowlers at the Buffalo Lanes / Arcade that we will not be bringing the JMar Entertainment style of family fun and youth charities to the area. After months of discussions we were unable to reach a deal. We wish everyone well and really appreciate the incredibly warm reception that we received from the people of the area. God Bless

Super excited to throw my new equipment from Brunswick Bowling .. thanks so much for sending me these and I/we couldn't be more proud to represent the company.

04/11/2023

JMar Entertainment is proud to have agreed to partner exclusively with Brunswick Bowling and family of brands. All of our tournaments, businesses, and owners will be branding Brunswick, Hammer, DV8, Columbia 300, Ebonite, Radical, and Track.

There have been several rumors and questions of JMar Entertainment potentially purchasing the Jamestown Bowling Center, Buffalo Lanes / Arcade We are now confirming that to be the case and let everyone know that is our INTENT. However, there are details that still need to be worked out and nothing is definitive at this point. As stated, this is our mutual intent. Casey and his staff are just fantastic people and we are so proud to call them our friends. We will be sure to post updates as we have them. Regardless of the outcome, we would ask you to please support Casey, his staff, and the Buffalo Lanes.

22/10/2023

Well had a disappointing weekend bowling. Started out terrible but finally found the line and ball. But then my wrist popped and something bad happened - not sure yet what - but it's all black and blue and giant knots on both sides of my forearm. Had to withdraw!! 😭😭😭

22/10/2023

Having a great time at the Jim Kent Memorial Regional in Tacoma, WA.

31/07/2023

We are excited for 2024. Look for some of the biggest names in the sport to come to the Sioux Falls, South Dakota area at Eastway Bowl. More info to be announced soon.

29/07/2023

Winner announced: Kent Heinle Bowling out of Arizona is the winner. Congrats.

We will be running another contest soon for another Ronnie Russell game used autographed ball.

Closing post: with 9 total votes, North Hill has the most. So now, we will draw for the name that wins the autographed Ronnie Russell bowling ball.

Update - so far North Hill Bowl has the most votes. We will run this through Monday

Looking for your input. Which center in South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota, or Montana should we have a JMar Entertainment PBA event at in 2024? If you're suggestion is selected, your name will go into a drawing for a game used Ronnie Russell autographed ball. Give us your suggestions so we can start planning. We are looking at 5 total events.

Besides Sunset Lanes and Eastway Bowl?

27/07/2023

We've decided to keep our format for 2024 the same. We will NOT be moving to an invitational only event in Moorhead at Sunset Lanes.

15/07/2023

**Update** if you would please provide your thoughts we'd appreciate it?

We would like everyone's input for next year. We are discussing having an invitational event which would essentially be a national tour stop. In addition to that we would hold a local qualifier for like 10 spots on the national stop. (Thanks for the idea Country). Or we just have another event like we did this year. Please provide your thoughts and input. We are looking at a total of 5 events in 2024 with more in 2025.

12/07/2023

Hopefully continues this weekend .. practice 3 games on the 46' Johnny Petraglia pattern .. +78 after three .. I think I have a game plan .. now just need to execute and stay in front of the transition.

12/07/2023

Not sure if it's addiction or insanity - drove 1100 miles, slept in a tent through a nasty storm, dealt with rush hour traffic through Chicago all to get to a bowling tournament!!! Who else has crazy stories to share??

08/07/2023

To prevent any confusion, there will also be several open events in 2024.

08/07/2023

We will be updating our website to be adding our list of Tour partners and as well Regional partners. We will also be updating our list of corporate sponsors.

07/07/2023

Sneak Peek - due to the success, support, and unbelievably warm reception from the Fargo, North Dakota and Moorhead, Minnesota communities - the 2024 PBA event will be an invitational event. Hint, Hint!

07/07/2023

We are currently planning our 2024 schedule. Look for some big announcements coming soon. Our list of players on our roster has grown to just under 30 of the biggest names in the game from across the world. Along with our partners like Farmers Union Insurance and Courtyard by Marriott Fargo Moorhead, MN Buffalo Wild Wings we are expanding our footprint in more states. Stay tuned!

27/06/2023

Criteria that we look for in a center: 1. We like to stay between 24 and 36 lanes. This is open to discussion if other criteria are met. 2. In a non-metro area. Ideally in a population area less than 150,000. 3. High bowler to capita ratio 4. Business community that will support the event through sponsorships. 5. A proprietor that will market things strongly.

Our business model is one that JMar assumes all the financial risk. We pay the PBA fees, we bring the top name tour players, we do huge amounts of promotions to bring people, we arrange the beer gardens, inflatables for kids, music, etc.

Let us know if you think you have a candidate for a JMar Entertainment event.

27/06/2023

We are so grateful for all of the warm receptions that we’ve received from all over. The response has been overwhelming. We are receiving questions from centers all over asking if we would consider partnering at their center. We would ask two things of everyone: 1. Check your invites and if you’ve received one from us, please accept as that helps grow or reach. 2. If you know of a center that meets our criteria let us know. I’ll post our criteria separately.

27/06/2023

Marshall and I are pleased to welcome Kris Prather and EJ Tackett to our group. These two need no introductions. What they bring to the table for JMar Entertainment is vast. We will reach far more people, introduce many more people to the great sport of bowling, and expand the footprint of our young company.
