Due to the great support for the Sport Bowling Training Weekends in Victoria, additional weekends are being planned for January and February 2006. Go to the Victoria forum of the Totalbowling website and look at the post titled Update: Sport Bowling Training Weekend and Sport Bowling...

Hi everyone, Steve Arundell and I have decided to limit the training weekends to 15 bowlers per weekend, so that means the 2 weekends are now FULL . So far, this is the list and days that people will participate. If you have a problem with this list and the day you may be bowling, email...

Hi guys, Only one week until the deposit deadline for the Sport Bowling Training Weekends. With the recent tournament developments (i.e., AMF Grand Prix and Victorian Tournament Circuit), this would be a good method of preparation (especially mentally) for tournaments next year!!! So far...

Thanks Chris, I'll be anticipating your entry within the next week or so. Just another update... After taking deposits at the Dunn Shield tournament on the weekend, we have 20 entries for the Sport Bowling Training Weekends. If we get 30 bowlers (which it looks like we might), the 2...

It is interesting how many bowlers equate "dry lanes" with "difficult oil patterns." Although bowlers might have a harder time dealing with dry lanes, that does not necessarily mean the oil pattern was difficult. Perhaps the oil pattern was difficult for some at Dunn Shield because "adjustments"...

Hey everyone! Just reminding you that there is LESS THAN 3 WEEKS left to send your deposit to Mentone bowl to reserve your spot in the Sport Bowling Training Weekend. So far there are 7 (3 adults and 4 youth) bowlers who have sent their deposits in and reserved their spots in the weekend. The...

Hi Guys, Just a reminder. The date to have your deposit into Mentone Bowl for the Sport Bowling Training Weekend is about 1 month away (November 22, 2005) and is fast approaching. I have about 5 entries so far and they have guaranteed their spot on the designated weekends. The quicker you get...

Hi everyone, Just a reminder... Only about 6 weeks to get your deposit into Mentone bowl to reserve your spot in either of the sport bowling training weekends in Victoria scheduled for January. If you're serious about the sport, this may be the "step" you need to get to the "next level."...

Hi everyone, Just a reminder... Only about 6 weeks to get your deposit into Mentone bowl to reserve your spot in either of the sport bowling training weekends in January. Word has it that I already have 3 deposits for the weekends in January. I haven't confirmed that yet, but if people are...

Hi Everyone, With bowling technology becoming more of a factor everyday, it seems that one way of “evening the playing field” for all bowlers is to change the oil pattern. To help promote integrity and shot-making ability to the sport of tenpin bowling, the United States Bowling Congress...

Hi guys, It has been brought to my attention that the dates for the 2nd weekend were incorrect. The dates for the adult and seniors weekend is January 14-15 (NOT THE 15-16). I knew I was close, but these are now the EXACT DATES! Also, I have included on this post a revised participation...

From the SPORT BOWLING TRAINING WEEKEND post last week, there were approximately 45 people interested in participating. I am very overwhelmed by the interest in my “brainstorming” idea. I appreciate the interest. I have decided to organise the dates and details of the weekend(s). Upon further...

WOW!!! I really didn't expect such an enthusiastic reaction to this weekend. Keep the responses coming! I still want to know who else is interested. Just one question... Can someone "research" the dates of tournaments that are in January and February 2006 so that I can plan the date(s) for...

The sport bowling league (see Sport Bowling Coming to Mentone in this post for more information about sport bowling) run at Mentone Bowl was a success with a total of 24 bowlers participating. The averages for the league ranged from 144-201, with the overall league average being 168. It was a...

Just realised this post was here... Joel, Just a couple of questions... 1. Same as wchester... why am I not the instructor for the course? The answer can't be because I am NOT affiliated with Victoria University (VU), as I am working on my PhD at VU? If you would have asked me to do...

Thanks Jay K, Apparently it has, considering we both bowl in that league. We are changing the oil pattern next week, so don't forget to come prepared! chris

It's interesting to hear the amount of people talking about the lack of oil on the lanes last year. I was playing straight up the gutter and I found it quite fair possibly because I was using a ball that was 2 years old that was totally polished. Maybe some of the bowlers that are asking for...

Thanks Jay K for your support. I appreciate that! It should be a fun and interesting league that everyone will learn from. Hopefully we can expand it next year. Dougie... no worries about not making it on monday... You would be a good addition to the league. Please let us know if you are...

Just to inform you that the sport bowling league will be starting next Monday night (April 18th) at Mentone bowl. For those of you not familiar with sport bowling, please see the "sport bowling coming to mentone?" post on this website in the Victoria forum. This league should be great...

Hey Guys, Just a reminder that we will be having an organisational meeting for the Sport Bowling league this Monday, APRIL 4, 2005 at 7:30pm at Mentone Tenpin Bowl (Corner of Warrigal Rd & Nepean Highway)! This is the day after the 1st stages of Rachuig and WDV trials. If you are...

Hi all, It seems that every time there is an easy oil pattern in a tournament (with the 3:1 ratio set by TBA or not) Wchester is always the first to disapprove of the shot (see also 2004 NSW Open in Main forum of this website). I'll be the first to admit that if you give me 3 boards "area"...
