I can't work out whether I've gone blind, or senile ? There used to be a list of members available. Anyone ? Help?? Can't find it.....

I'm pretty sure that this will turn out to be a pretty silly question......but............ if you don't ask, you don't get. I bowled in those Nats, at Rushcutter, probably in all the events available. Can't remember much about them except that I met my wife there.(still together ) Now comes...

Looking through the categories, I find that I have no problem working out who can enter, say, "Senior Male Five Man Teams"' but I'm having a bit of a problem working out the eligibility for " Senior Female Five Man Teams". Anybody ?

There was a time when people posted things on this site with which I could disagree. Totally- violently even, disagree. Then more ppl would often join in on either side, or with a unique twisted attitude of their own. Great discussions ensued. Today, how can I argue if someone has a 15lb ball...

There was a thread on here a couple of years ago about a PGA, PB Tournament. Can't find it. Anyone know if the PBA still does this ?

Gee, I really wish our sport had not been reduced to a ball comp. ( even if that's only marketing true,:rolleyes: not technically true )

Practicing today with my old plastic and I bowled 300, but only scored 194. It happened like this. Put the 1st ball down, and you've all had the feeling . Release dead right, hit target board, right line and speed - you know it's 'ten in the pit', as soon as it leaves your hand. It hits just the...

OMG.. We get 2 X 300s and ONE half hearted Congrats. Every time on any thread, where I, in full acknowledgement of the facts: yes facts, that there is no going back, ( without a player revolution ) every time I say anything that infers that the lane, ball and conditioning machine makers have...

Does the structure of a ball produce more or less carry? What I mean is, if say, it was possible to drill four balls, because of their different construction, with four different layouts, so that delivered by someone with a good release, and constant speed, they followed the same line to the...

See the TBA Site.

There have been 7 300s reported here in the last 7 days. Wish people would stop posting them, so that those of us who thought we could bowl in the early 60s ( if there are any more of you left bowling ) wouldn't feel so inferior.:p PS I wouldn't mind one. In the unlikely event it ever...

Seeing the Prime Minister is generating all this publicity for our ex-Nationals venue, how about seeing if she can be got to bowl a few frames with the 'westies' she's out to impress with her 'I'm one of you ' campaign. Definately plenty of publicity. I'm not going to commit myself if it's good...

I've just read what is on the TBA site under National Training Squad - Expression of Interest. I'd appreciate any comments from people in the Tournament Scene ( which I certainly no longer am. ) On the surface, it just appears a bit 'bureaucratic' in it's make-up, and has little or no...

Read the attachment to come right down to earth on what babes in the woods we are regarding Promotion / Sponsorship and in particular getting a Television Profile. If it's possible anywhere then it is the Asia / Pacific area that could succeed. We had a tiny foot in the door with the 'Tenpin...

When I first became aware of Total Bowling, I was competing in the Pan Pacific Masters Games. I don't know when this was - most likely 2000 or 2002. I joined then ( got dropped off at some time - prob during an upgrade,) and rejoined around 2008. Anybody??

Last night in league, I had 9 nines in the first game. ( missed one of them) Started the second game with 5 in a row. Struck in 6, then got more 9s. Refused to count them any more. ARRRGHHH.

I sent this e-Mail to Tony Drexel........ Like I said - Couldn't help myself. Goodness, Tony, having watched yesterdays filming of the Womens and Mens finals, and 'comparing ' for want of a better word, with last year..............the Bowling Industry / Administration in Australia, is so...

IS IT JUST ME ? I have the impression that this site generally ( grouping all the forums together) is MUCH less used over recent months. It seems to me that there was always a number of lively discussions going on a good variety of bowling subjects. It seems to date from around the last site...

A funny thing happened on the way to the Bowl - Ballina Bowl - - - Really. I wanted to write down a couple of things from a league standing sheet, and instead of grabbing a piece of paper, I opened a filing cabinet in the workshop and saw a little 'spirex' notebook, so I grabbed it and headed...

I read a new post from someone. As I had not noticed any other posts by him, I looked up his profile, to know a little about him. The only info I got was his name. There is a large percentage of profiles like that. I presume he was born at some time and hasn't died yet. I can safely...

I think it would be a good idea, if members of this forum had a read of this very recent addition to TBA Rules and Regulations. Indeed it would have been a nice gesture had TBA taken steps to make it's general membership aware of it. It is a reasonable length document, and the following is...

The following is PART of the adv. by TBA for this important position It is essential that you have the following: Minimum 5 years experience with tertiary qualifications in either journalism or communication Demonstrated ability to secure media coverage Ability to build and maintain strong...

Anyone on here, bowling, say, an average of 175 and over, still using a conventional, rather than fingertip grip ?

How is it that some threads - example ' Tournament Nominations ', keep jumping up to the top on their particular forum listings, without any new posts occuring ? Can it be blocked from happening ? Moderators ?

Came across a file that I’d thrown some certificates / medals, old score sheets etc. in . The numbers are a bit unsettling – especially if I reach 90 They go like this:- when I came back to bowling after 30 years, and aged 61, and up to my mid 60s, 600 series were common run-of-the-mill...
