Damn it, bitten by that bowling bug I think Might have a slow year this year, bowling in some of the local and national tournaments in Vic only, then have a proper crack next year. Anyone able to tell me what the deal with the whole MTBA vs TBA? Is there anymore restrictions that prevent...

Hi to all our Victorian friends, Just thought I'd let everyone know that Leisa gave birth to a whopping 9 pound 7 (4.28 kg) at 1:57 pm yesterday 27/10. Leisa had to have a Caesarian because he just didnt quite fit properly, but both are doing very well. The other good news we have is...

Hamilton has a new HVO Summit, and the pattern they currently have down is actually quite nice. Asked the tech if I could have a look at the oiling pattern, so he printed off a sheet. Hardly any oil on the left, but I dont think there are many lefties with a heap of fingers anyway :) With...

Someone introduced me to google video today, and I've found some pretty neat video clips that have to do with bowling. All I did was go to http://video.google.com and did a search for bowling. So far, I've come up with some pretty funny clips, including "trash can bowling", and a funny clip...

Can AMF guarantee fairness when it comes to lane conditions when trying for a South Pacific centre qualifying spot? The centre I bowl at, has an extremely large league on a certain night of the week, that expect decent conditions to be laid each week. The averages in that league are somewhat...

Someone told me the other day that if a pin moves from its spot but doesnt fall over, and that if the machine knocks it over when it goes to pick it up, that the pin must be put back to its original position. I was always under the impression that the pin is moved to the closest spot. Can...

Hey guys, I rang Mildura a few days ago, to see if I could put my name down for the marathon, I was told that I would have to go on a waiting list, as the bowlers who were there this year, already filled all the spots. How can this be fair for anyone who hasnt bowled? There should be some...

Are any Perth people able to advise what accommodation is available near Cannington for the tournament in Feb/March ? Some names and numbers would be appreciative. Im also sorry to hear that Perth is the most unliked place to live in Australia, according to a recent survey. I also heard...

I checked out Virgin Blue today, they've got awesome prices for some fares for next year. From Melbourne, using the dates for the AMF Super 6, for QLD Cup, can get $178 return, and for NSW Open, can get $128 return. Not a bad deal at all. The question is, are these events likely to be...

This happened a little while ago, but Im still yet to find out if a new ruling has been put in place. Basically I was bowling a handicap tournament, but off scratch. I injured my right arm, and could only bowl at a fraction of the pace that I normally do. I asked the tournament director if I...

This happened a while ago, but Id thought Id nominate myself nevertheless. Havent been bowling much lately, and was quite impressed to see 8 strikes on the board for a magnificent 171.

Whens the next non-MTBOV non-AMF victorian tournament (ie Werribee Cup)? I know there is Warnambool Cup, but thats a little way away. There used to be a Vic Open, I think it was at Mooroolbark last year, not sure, but I know it used to be held before SPC at Moorabbin. It has been a very...

My girlfriend Leisa Lumsden only told me 2 weeks ago, that despite her finishing 12th in a youth tournament, she managed to score herself 64 points for her efforts. I was wondering how this could be ... as this raises so many questions in my mind. As far as Im aware, last year, if I bowled in...

Cant really speak for other male bowlers, but I know I prefer to bowl in shorts. And i think for the public watching me bowl, I think they'd prefer me to be in shorts rather than borrowing other bowlers pants and exposing rather bright white socks. So, I thought I would raise a poll .... Who...

They have some pcs at the back of the bowl, so i decided to get online and type up a quick forum entry for the guys and the girls here ... 8.5 hours after hopping on a plane from sydney, we landed in thailand. We were allowed to go straight through customs, seeing we are all bowling gods here...

And finally the GIRLS Have fun trying to name everyone!!!

And here is the BOYS

A normal league night at Sunshine bowl turned into a good night when I found posted some pictures with the finalists of the 1993 South Pacific Classic. They all had the names at the bottom, but we thought it might be interesting to chop those off, and let people try and name the bowlers. There...

Come on Bankstown ... every tournament seems to be a ditch there, and the national junior championships seem no different. Lets reel off some statistics: 2001 NSW Open - First Qualifier was 235 average, 16th was 217.7 2002 Sydney Youth Masters - First Qualifier was 229 average, 16th was 204...

I heard a little rumour that the 90 day rule may be abolished shortly. Does anyone happen to have any information regarding this (the 90 day rule applies to new bowling balls, they can not be made unless the release date is 90 days before the start of the tournament, to give all countries equal...

Does anyone have any information about the Goldpin tournament that is due to run in Bendigo on Sunday 7/7? I dont think I have seen any entry forms

Whats happening with this tournament? Is it still going ahead? Only 2 months until the tournament, and all I know is that it will be held at Elizabeth again. I rang the Elizabeth Motor Inn, they dont have many bookings there at the moment, and they can get rooms that fit 3 people for $87.50 a...

Ive looked around, and cant find many tournaments before NSW Open. Can people from various states post what local or state tournaments are going on around the country, so I can see if anything is worth travelling to :^)
