The date was March 15, 1980 at the Garden City Bowl, Garden City, NY for the $85,000 Long Island Open. The finals were unique, in that three of the bowlers were making their first appearances on TV, Arnie Goldman, and future hall of famers Dave Ferraro, and Pete Weber. They joined Earl Anthony and Mark Roth to complete the top 5....hope you enjoy!

On a side note, the black tape on each of the bowlers shirts was a memorial for PBA bowler Dick Battista who passed away earlier in the year.
