I have had some very positive feedback from some bowlers who have personal experience of their disappointment and how they coped. thanks to those. I only asked on how they felt. I dont need negativity just thoughts on how others coped in the same position. Unfortunately so many read so...

These are the people I would like to know how they got over it. Or whether they didn't. As MS said I can understand if other bowlers are bowling well but when they aren't and still get games it is so hard to understand especially when you are told your national events dont matter as long as...

Let them be "part" of a Rachuig team and then sit them on the bench. How do you help a bowler whose dreams and hopes are totally shattered at the moment? For those of you who have experienced this please let me know how to help overcome their total devastation and desire to quit the game...

Lucky you having seen a photo. Been trying on TBA website to view photos but nothing there.

CONFIRMATION From a bowler who currently has his balls in the shipping containers at Mt Gravatt. They are NOT refrigerated. They ARE insulated. Appears they are in the shade most of the day. He is not getting sweating of his balls while in the container and does not appear to be any...

After just coming back from the ATBSO Nationals it was quite clear to me that "Teams" is definitely a strong part of bowling. It was so important that if you were having a bad game then your teammates encouraged you to keep going and get as many as possible and to keep in mind the "Team points"...

Our league secretary Emails the weekly standing sheet to all bowlers who want one. That way they can print out their own if they want and has helped her by being able to clear up any discrepancies before the next week and she can concentrate on her own game rather than sorting out queries while...

Congratulations to all the members of the ATBSO South Australian teams who have just returned from Canberra following a very successful Challenge. Womens Restricted team = 1st Mens Restricted team = 2nd Combined Restricted team = 1st Womens Open team = 2nd Mens Open team = 1st Combined...

Will be great if a team are all suffering from a cold or flu and are taking cough medicine. May as well wipe out the whole team. Seriously, though I dont drink before competing, I do use alcohol wipes for my ball and know of many teammates who enjoy a drink or 2 before or while on a break...

Not the first time there has been no facilities available for ball damage during such events. Two years ago one of our bowlers thumb insert slipped to inside his ball and despite no amount of prising could we get it out. Took 2 days to finally get it fixed and he could not use that ball at all...

Congratulations to the SA Team on getting silver in the Holt Classic Team Challenge. \ Also congratulations to Jason Mooney on making the Team of the Year and to Jarrod Hill and Kerry Cock on making it though to the third round of Master before being eliminated. Good luck to the...

Looks like the Restricted Skins is going to be a state battle between SA & ACT. Are we that intimidating that other states dont want to bowl with us except for the brave ones Livia (WA) and Maurice (Qld)? Thanks Peter for organising this event - hope everyone gets behind it as it is a bit of...

Peter, Ronda and Jeff are carrying on John Dobsons forsight and dedication to our sport. Their enthusiam is infectious to all those around them and together they put on a great tournament. Thanks to all of you for your outstanding efforts again this year with the whole Holt Challenge...

After day 2 the SA team is sitting 2nd only 5 points behind ACT. Jason Mooney is top of the Allstars with a 205.33 average. Keep up the good work and chase that gold.

Thanks for the update Peter. Hope your bowling improves. Great effort for the SA guys and girls so far. Keep up the good work.

Anywhere we can get live scores for the Holt Challenge?

I'll miss it this year but rolloffs were the same day as a pe-arranged family commitment and family always comes first. First time in over 7 years when no-one from our family is participating in the Holt Carnival. May catch up with some of you at the ATBSO championships the following week...

Fantastic bowling girls. I can remember an adult/junior double bowling 1600+ over 10 years ago but cant remember the details. Will try to find the details.

I wont but hubby and daughters fiancee will be. Used to be a regular DeVeer bowler but dont like the new Restricted format. No bowling side by side with your teammates, no head to head competition, dont even bowl against every other state team. No atmosphere. Boring.... just like 6 games of...

Please add Lyn Hannam to restricted skins. It was great fun before.

Its up to who you pay how long it takes for the membership card to be generated. TBA have no control over whoever is inputting the membership registrations for each centre. It is the local centre, AMF or the local association who is responsible.

Good luck to all the youth bowlers bowling at Village this weekend especially those trying our for the SA youth team. Have a great weekend and enjoy.

Card printing runs close on the 16th of each month and cards come out about 2-3 weeks later so provided whoever you paid your money to has entered the membership applications online and has paid for them you should have them. We paid for ours in January but apparently there were initial...

You can find information about what is covered on the TBA website (www.tenpin.org.au) go to Athlete Services and half way down the page is the Personal Accident Insurance Package information. TBA have the claim forms at the office, so if you would like one just contact TBA on (07) 3262 4455 or...

My bag is really tidy today. I actually cleaned it out on Friday before going away on a tournament weekend. Dried up skin patch, the usual assortment of old wrappers, scorecards, pens (that no longer work of course), 2 odd socks (how they got there I dont know) empty ball cleaner bottle etc...
