Hi Victorian bowlers, In 2012, I completed data collection in Ballarat for a bowling study I am doing with performance routines and I am now looking for another Melbourne-based bowling centre to help me conduct the research. (A big thank you to Ballarat OzTenpin Bowl for sponsoring it and the...

Hi Victorians, I went to the sport series tournament Sunday to bowl (but had to pull out because of bursitis in my left shoulder). Anyway, I had some good chats with people and realised that some Victorians don't often read the main forum on totalbowling much. So I am posting this message to...

Thank you to those who have already completed the questionnaire, we really appreciate your help! As an incentive for others to participate (other than going into a raffle to win a gift voucher of up to $50 at the end of the survey), I will post some results of the research on this forum at the...

Can you please add Chris Mesagno to the list?

Hi all, I have an honours student who is doing research at the University of Ballarat with me and she has chosen to investigate the relationship between athletic identity and social anxiety for her research project. If you play sport of any kind, you can complete the survey, but I personally am...

It has been a long time since I've been on Totalbowling and didn't realize I was being talked about. Thanks for the support guys! BTM writers and staff are enjoying my articles, so they have asked me to do it regularly. In 2012, I will be focusing my discussions on coaches and using motor...

Hi Everyone, I can't emphasise enough how important sport science research is to the SPORT of tenpin bowling. The more research conducted on the sport, the more credibility tenpin bowling will have in the future. I'm not directly involved in this study, but to my knowledge, your...

Can you please add Chris Mesagno to the list? It should be a good tournament especially if we can beat the 2010 AO champion on a sport series condition. That should be fun! Dr Chris

Thanks so much for everyones contribution to this post. It has definitely exceeded my expectations of what would be talked about. Nev25... sorry for not replying that much. I posted this last weekend and replied on the weekend a couple of times, but I've been flat out with work until now...

Thanks everyone for your comments related to this post... Lordofthepins, I agree, I could have taken my daughter to play other activities, but this was a one off and probably won't happen again because I'll either bring my league card, or won't pay the price this time. 0% of $13.50 as...

Hi jimcross, I haven't gotten that far with my daughter yet. I haven't looked into other sport participation as she is only having a "dabble" in a sport here or there right now. So haven't looked into other sport prices yet, but if I find out, I'll inform you. Steve jones, I don't mind...

Hi Everyone, Today I went to an AMF Bowling centre with my 2.5 year old daughter (for the 3rd time), hoping to get her into the "swing" (pun intended) of tenpin bowling. I wasn't going to bowl, just help her have some fun. I went up to the counter and I didn't know the person at the desk, but...

Can you please add me to the mix? I'm interested especially if Mac Stewart is bowling! Dr. Chris

Maybe I wasn't very clear in my post. As eraser20 correctly stated, I wasn't having a go at Warren, as he is a respected bowling centre manager and bowler as well, but I was talking more about the owners. Now I am definitely not an expert businessman, but I do realise that profit keeps the...
