Mistagear said "Bowling in its current form can be personally satisfying, I'll relate this to motor racing so bowlers might understand whyI say bowling is boring for nearly every person watching and lacks something other sports have. My experience watching league bowlers, many of them also have...

Great post, how do u promote something that people do not know most likely exists..It's not in the papers, nor on TV, nor on internet news feeds!!?!?!... I guess regarding the endless and tiresome moaning re bowling (which a lot is justified) is due to people witnessing the demise of something...

In any suburb you have a small,small percentage of troubled teens. It has nothing to do with your postcode! Frankston does have a poor reputation (although it is improving), most of it is misfounded, as Frankston is a large "small city" suburb, and does bring in many people from other suburbs...

Yes $50,000, thanks Toon!! Wchester, obviously you're not an accountant either ;) .. Toon and Jim, good replies.. At present we have the AMF mid dec-Jan $10 for 3 games deal , good value but it is for such a short period of time.. We have 4 games for $18 AMF special currently, reasonable I...

There are many options that we can try in regards to memberships, but certainly if u look at an average centre, lets just say they have 500 league bowlers paying $20 a week over a year ($10,000 * 45 weeks = $450,000 per annum), now only a small percentage play more than once a week, so introduce...

I discovered golf 6 months ago, I can play up to 6 days a week at a local public course for $900 pear year (we have 3 public courses within a 20 min drive from my home). There are also some private courses that are around $2500, again,u can play as often as u like.. Tossing up where to spend my...

Hey bradstar, appreciate your input, but Your'e banned!!! lol:D

Hi, Just wondering if u sell GRIPLOC system, and if so what is the cost? Also postage costs?

I guess it's the complete complacency that drives me nuts with AMF, and the fact that anyone of us who bothers to bowl and visit bowling forums, can see and suggest several small ways for a centre to improve. Some of these suggestions are really so obvious and simple to implement in beggars...

It's pathetic!! I just began playing golf, have grabbed a couple of lessons over the last couple of months, played a few rounds and like the feeling of self improvement... You would think that if this is the case with AMF Roysa, then they have missed the boat with this one, and simply don't...

Ok 3 things, I can think of 100, some from a centre's perspective, others solely from a bowlers.. Anyway heres my take: 1. Better promotion of (league and tournament) bowling across all forms of media, local newspapers,Tv,internet. League bowling is such a great product..I wonder how much a...

Weber has snuck his nose into 4th

Belmo leading, 2 games left, Fagan right on his heels.

I'm moving to Lismore!! Great idea... I struggle to find the money at times to bowl perhaps that little bit extra for practise..Even though I have been bowling 2 league a week for a few years now. Love to practise half an hour every day.. You are on a good wicket there mate..

Unbelievable really... Loving it... 3 titles in a fortnight.. Best part, and its something I can't wait to see is the Belmo and Rash final... I'm excited just thinking about it!! I wonder whether we'll see any nasty little glances at one another..

Wayne, the old saying of every dog has it's day, well thats true, but it's only a day!! The smarter dog has it for life. Trying to find a metaphor for bowling here.. Also, even if that one dog had it's day, it was on it's own territory (House shot), never a tournament where most likely, the shot...

I choose the time of the day and then go down to my centre, especially during school hoidays..Only time I get a bit sooky, is if there is absolutely NO oil over a few days, and u go down to bowl a phantom league, and the staff don't have the manners to at least give u a heads up, ball begins to...

Others have covered most of what I would have said, but I would like to add one thing. Remember, bowling is a sport that u can very easily come back to, and to reiterate a previous point in a post, lessons, even a monthly one would be advantageous to your game while your learning.. I too get...

Most league bowlers have no idea why they should pay extra money toward start of a season for association costs. If we can enlighten them, then they will be a more happier bunch. I had some guy after league this week, *****ing to me about this, I held my tongue (which was very hard to do) but...

I hear what u are saying Geoff, Some courses have more open and wider fairways, some courses have few to no sand bunkers. some courses have water features, most dont..... some courses the greens are flatter than others.. Most of these "soft" conditions are around on many of our courses, so...

That bronze, silver,gold thingy has the potential to really upset and alienate many house bowlers, who will definately get their nose out of joint I reckon.. Try telling a 50 yr bloke who just rolled his first 300 game that is was only a bronze condition, thereby dismissing his once in a...

I like Brenton Davy's earlier coment "Few movements = less to go wrong.". There is definately something anyone can take from that. Its fun to watch crankers, make no mistake, but a smoothe stroker who relies on straighter and very accurate lines, is I feel under appreciated... The sheer...

I would like to add my 2c worth here and praise my centre also, but sadly very little to praise. Realm of Valek,some people bowl at centres (which they don't like) due to time constraints and location.. I am one of them.. There must be many,many more bowlers similar to myself.. Is it worth...

Thanks for the link agin , basically 3 games for $9... Good value for practise... Just printed the coupon out..Thanks mate. Makes me wonder why they cannot offer this all year round, surely they would get a heap more league bowlers onto the lanes and practising..I know they have their rock...

Hey Jockey, Thats right $99 for one month, max of 4 games per day... Thats what my centre manager said!! AMF too! He had only 10 passes for current league bowlers Great if u have the time to leave work early or leave family every night. I think it would be great for your bowling, imagine a...
