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...

I would agree with everyone about Steve's contribution to the sport of bowling! He was a fantastic asset to the sport! Although it is great that another fellow bowler may be taking over for Steve, I'm still not sure if it is great news for bowlers at Mentone. From my limited knowledge of the...

Just wanted to thank everyone again for their donation to this worthy cause. Also, want to thank Andrew Tonkin and Absolute Bowling Supplies for his donation, which brings the total up to about $2400. Just a friendly reminder to those people that said they'd donate, to get your payment in...

Hi Everyone, Ok... I have recovered a bit from my 51 games marathon, but I've never experienced aches and pains like I did on Saturday morning! I definitely know which muscles are most used within my bowling style now, that's for sure :p Here are the stats: 51 games (which raised $2321...

Hi Everyone, Just an update... after 12 hours of bowling, a torn up hand and lots of fun. I mananged to bowl 51 games today for the good friday appeal. That is an estimated $2300 for the cause... So for those that sponsored me. Get your wallets out and go to the everyday heros website and...

Yes Noelene... I'm hopeful that the Herald Sun or Channel 7 will do something... Just a reminder to everyone to come down to Mentone tomorrow to have a practice. It would be good to catch up with people during the 12 hours that I am there. Especially in the afternoon and evening, when I am...

Hi Bowlers, There have been a couple of stories about our endevour that have appeared in newspapers and website... See the good friday appeal website http://goodfridayappeal.com.au/default.aspx?s=newsdisplay&id=66677 and also the Mordialloc-Chelsea leader... Hopefully we'll get more...

Hi Everyone, Just got a phone call today from a staff member of 3AW radio and they will be checking in with me during the bowling marathon to see how I am going with my games during the day. I have also changed my individual goal to $2000 considering I have already raised over $1500 (based on...

Hi everyone, Thanks again for all those that have sponsored me for this. Thus far, I have almost reached my goal of $1000 (based on me bowling 40 games), but need a bit more. I have around $900 so far, so please help me out with this cause. Also, you can help by coming down to Mentone bowl to...

Thanks so much to everyone who has posted their sponsorship on this thread and also has donated already!! I really appreciate it! I am still only half way to my individual goal of $1000 raised for the Good Friday Appeal, so please help out with this cause! Steevie, thanks so much for the...

Hi Everyone, One of the reasons for doing this is to try to get some exposure for bowling... so the more that we can make for the Good Friday Appeal, then the more chances to get media attention during the event. So, please help Steve and I out. At present, I have 2 people that plan on...
