I've been reading this topic, & thought I'd just point out that I know quite a few youth bowlers, including my self, who'd "have a go" at representing if it wasn't so expensive...

Um?? Firstly, congrats to Kyle for doing so well in Malaysia! Secondly, whats even more impressive is that he's rarely been bowling league for the last few months, unless he bowls league at belco... An awesome effort with barely any training is always good. But I think his priorities are...

School holidays are just as hard for Staff. It's easy to throw around the blame. You should try oiling 24 lanes whilst front end continuously put on social play, it is hard. I don't know about other centers, but we make every possible effort to get our lanes conditioned, though there is only so...

What ever man, if you cant be happy for other people, forget it. Regardless whether it was made in a second topic or not, they both bowled well, stop being asses about it & move on.

I don't think so? I don't see why either should be over shadowed, considering they're both monster achievments in a center thats had a hard few months of crap. Pull your head out & if you have an issue with me congratulating another bowler for something awesome, talk to me whilst I'm at work...

Also, congrats goes to Drew Charlton (did I get the last name right?) for bowling a 299 last night in Cash Tripples, massive 10 pin in the 10th i heard!

Don't some centers offer time-bowling? That'd be a good alternative & good practice without having to concentrate on a score - & you can do drills, etc. Perhaps this would be a good idea to incorporate for league bowlers.

Great attitude on the lanes as well, I played against him in Coff's towards the end of last year. Was wonderful fun!

Taking your own drink in? I think that goes not only for amf, but any institution that sells food... Letting you bring in your own drinks = amf may aswell just get rid of cafes all together. I don't see how letting you bring in your own drinks & food would be looking after bowlers. Besides...

I didn't think it was that hard to figure out your score... I generally look at frame 5, then 8. 50 in the 5th meaning strike out for 200, 140 in the 8th meaning strike out for 200, not that hard lol

Steve dowds & I believe that difference has been magnified because of our new cleaner (it's cleaning the lanes very well, clean pin wipes show absolutely no dirt or grime at all when rubbed on the back ends) - he's saying they are getting the same flooded problem with the same lane surface &...

I love games like this - & being part of one is just awesome. grats guys

Michael Schmidt, i still enjoy his style as my favourite to this day aswell.

I can understand what Cell is saying, hasn;t every league bowler to date experienced bowling before hand? It's not like all of a sudden someone who has never bowled before goes into a center & says "I wanna join league, please." How do we attract social numbers? Probably lower the price of...

Ehh.. I think that really depends on what AMF center you are talking about, gothecell. I know for a fact that many of us in AMF Tuggeranong are passionate about bowling, & try & help as much as we're 'allowed' to, by regional management.

It's just the nature of today's generation I think. We all grew up seeing bowling as that cool thing you might be able to go do for fun, if mum & dad could afford it. The problem isn't in bowling, it's in the general public.

hi geoff, I agree with you partially, (& i agree totally on the opinon matter - everyone is allowed to voice their opinion! :D ) In that wearing a wrist guard eliminates some thinking from the shot. However, I also believe a wrist guard also inhibits. I know of some people who use their...

Eh.. If the scoring was hard & low, people would have complained. But when the scoring is higher... wait, people are still complaining? I'm sure I'm not the only one seeing a pattern here. At the end of the day, every bowler had to bowl on the same condition. If that condition suited ones style...

Bit silly mate, they aren't going to publicize AMF for free. If AMF won't support them, why should they publicize anything to do with AMF? Just free advertising for AMF in the end. annnnd, covering tournaments costs money, money which sponsors would provide partially I assume.

Sorry mate, bowling centers don't open up & run perfectly, they take fine tuning. Go back in a few months & try it again once the techs & employers have had time to settle in.

Argh, belmo always gets so close! Another reason to hate taps :/

I've been reading this topic on & off, but just had to input something here.. if you aren't going to be involved in the event, why are you bothering creating drama? I'd be too lazy to lol. Personally, I think it'd be great having more great players come here, might show some people a thing or...

You need to understand AMF are run by 'Ardent Leisure' (who own more companies as well) & as far as I know, any company is out to make a profit. Obviously that doesn't make some pricings right, but when adhering to strict guidelines in order to run a business efficiently, sadly there can be no...

I don't think 10 metres would really be a realistic distance from players area to your approach stance. probably looking at 5 to 6 metres more likely.

If you are being held up by traffic, take photo's with your phone - your bosses clearly think you are coming up with excuses, especially if it's happened several times. other way to stop it is leave earlier :) I allow 20 minutes for work, & get treated really well because im constantly early &...
