Those who had my post removed - was it factually incorrect? Perhaps you could set the record straight if it was.........................that's OK I'll wait - I have all the time in the world - and may I suggest, given what appears to be the sorry state of participation and formal membership in...

Wouldn't it be of considerable merit if the TBA did a Harvey Norman [$6 million refund to the Feds just announced] and paid back it's Job Keeper benefits. Imagine the immense and positive publicity the organisation and by association the sport would garner from such a move. Not to mention the...

Sadly Kevin Brawn passed away just a few days ago. His funeral is to be held at Springvale Victoria at 11.15am Wednesday March 9 [the family chose not to post notices in the general press]. I knew Kevin well and for a period of 20 years from about 1988 onward had a great deal to do with him both...

A recent, extremely tragic report from Fox news on line - A man who worked at a popular Ohio bowling alley was crushed to death in a freak accident that has prompted an investigation by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. An OSHA investigator was at the bowling alley Friday, a...

A quality and well deserved inclusion into the TBA/ATBC Hall of Fame last night was Sue Cassell...a worthy recipient and heart felt congratulations to Sue.

So - does this make John the greatest bowler ever? Professional titles across six decades. When Gary Player won across six decades the golf media rated him as the greatest ever!! In my view the comparison is the same - Petraglia is the greatest bowler ever. KETTERING, Ohio – PBA Hall...

Gary Gilmour passed away today - after a long illness [aren't they almost always long and debilitating]. For those that don't know Gary was a many times over WA State [Rachuig] and Australian National Team coach - and also an inspired swimming coach - a coach of young men and women who craved...

In recent weeks a few like minded people have been discussing how it might be possible to locate much of the missing history of bowling in Australia. Sadly, as some will know having read recent posts on this topic here on Total Bowling, it appears very likely that much of the history was...

I have significant interest from an overseas investor wanting to purchase a bowling centre in either Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane and suburbs. The interest is for a city located bowling centre not for a regional centre. The buyer is genuine - and although the preference is for Sydney as...

Well I have to admire the no nonsense approach in the following piece from Softball's Don Porter - but saying exactly what you feel about the IOC [in a negative senses] surely means certain death - at least where entry as a medal sport at some future time is concerned. Porter is close to 80 - so...

Losing out to other sports in the battle for IOC acceptance is a debilitating result for any sport...I can so report from personal experience. Of course what sports usually do NOT do is honestly and publicly report their feelings as by doing so is to become black listed for ....well God only...

Ladies and Gentlemen, Now some of you might have gleaned from recent [some not so recent] posts that I collect bowling memorabilia [yes, yes I know what a boring life I have]. Sadly, due to losses in transit associated with a number of household moves to various places on the planet over the...

Next week the IOC will select two sports that will most likely feature as full medal sports at the 2016 Summer Games. Phil Hersh of the LA Times is somewhat of an "Olympic watcher" and generally writes with knowledge and insight. His piece of August 6 headed 'To walk the walk....." is worth...

.....who is this "new" fellow coming in at Mentone in a few weeks... well good luck young chap - I hear you've a "little" past experience in this business which should help given you have large shoes to fill. Break a leg, S

There appears to be significant merit at this time to explore formulating the framework for a national bowlers entity of some type. Relevant points: 1. Firstly I am not suggesting that I am the right person to move on this or indeed even to start discussions...but someone probably needs to...

I guess I could find out the answers to the following questions by plowing through the National Tournament Entry Form section on this web site - but frankly I'm not that clever - and no doubt someone out there will be able to help. Just out of interest it would be interesting for me to know...

It is my view that Patrick Smith is very likely the best sports writer in the country. He writes for The Australian, not daily but often enough. He is not someone who is always easy to agree with - very often he is just plain annoying - nevertheless he must be read. Today [Saturday] his column...

If it is necessary - which I suspect it isn't - then this news item from a few hours ago underscores that change is ongoing in this business - as with everything else. http://www.madison.com/tct/mad/breakingnews/276542 Steve
