Morty, I don't know about the rest of Australia but it certainly happened in Sydney in the 70's. willey

IS this an AD

Morty, brings up a very important request, for the Centres to increase the Memberships in their Leagues to follow up the High of the Nationals. Unfortunately, as I have worked in Bowling Centres for over 38 years I can tell him that the Demise of the Membership drive went, when it was ruled that...

Geoff, Wayne is not complaining, he is concerned about the level of money AMF threw at this Tournament. His concern is, if AMF decides it was a great big waste of money, than next year they are likely to drop it to say 25 thousand, than the following year 5 thousand, Guess what then we are back...

Now Peter's scores were way before Walled up patterns, But I know they used to trim the Bristles of the B90 oiling Machine at Rockdale, to lighten the Load out wide. Having said that I always had trouble turning the ball an inch at Rockdale, I had to bowl like those Ladies in the Australian...

Good bowling Tom, makes me think to when you were in your Prime late 70's to early 80's, so if you were around 30 then you are around 60 now, how's your Knees. Frank

Very interesting to watch, here you have in the Womens Final, two highly experienced and Acurate Bowlers and they couldn't hit the same place twice. It seemed like the Break-point was too far down the Lane, so the Women were pointing the Ball at the Headpin and going through too much oil in the...

Peter you are starting to worry me! when you want to start looking at Mens legs, your best bet is to move to North Queensland as they all wear Shorts up there whilst Bowling. Having worked in Bowling Centres for 38 years, I can tell you that because they do not Air Condition the Backend, the...

Thanks Jason Doust on your platatudes towards all those responsible for such a good Event, only one problem, for me and 99% of all who read these posts don't know who you are talking about so please leave out the informalities and use thier Full Name. Just a small point, I haven't worked in a...

For some unknown reason, the 14th of September, comes to my mind as the opening of Hurstville Bowl, I was working there for the 25th anniversary, and the 14th of October is too close to my Birthday and does not Compute. willey

I have seen a late pinfall many times over the years, one such time I told the team the pin was knocked over but they insisted on having it re-stood. There are some out there who believe once the sweep drops any pin knocked over(legally) should be re-stood. Being the Mechanic and having to...

I know Tony well and he would not have called your Father a Cheat. I know there was a dispute over Foul lights, I didn't work there but I know Foul lights can cause problems, I know Joe's last word were "Joe Velo Doesn't Foul". I think it was probably handled Badly. willey

Wow Jase you hit the nail on the Head with that one. willey

Hippy, it's a Price thing that gets the Bowlers in, charge the right Price and the Centre's will be full. Nothing to do with Walls, the Average Bowler can't read a Wall, it will actually stiffle his Bowling. The Average Bowler uses a Plastic Ball and if he has to Bowl on Lanes after the Premier...

This will be Great, over 50% of our internet use goes to the USA, so when we have 1tb of speed what happens when it hits the USA? willey

Another 3 years of Hard Labor willey

Bfcc, yeah Bowling Prizefund as compared to Golf Prizefund, seems to me were talking Sports. George's opening sentence say's " makes me wonder why I bowled when I was six instead of golfing." willey

bfcc, POKER is NOT a Sport, I intend writing to my Foxtel supplier and asking them not to put it on a Sports Channel! The closest thing to Poker would have to be a COMA, just as much action. willey

Spanner, they put Pig racing on, not that they didn't put Bowling on, STUPID stuff. Also how many Teams of Women do you think used to Bowl in the WIBC alone, this is totally a Womens event, I'm talking many thousands of 5 Women Teams plus Doubles and Singles, I don't think there are that many...

The problem with Bowling Prize Money over the years was more to do with Big Business Leaders, Snobbing, Bowling. Take for example the "Bowlers Journal" the oldest Sporting Magazine in the World, they could not get Airline Companies or Car Rental Companies etc, to Advertise, even though events...

I'm sure Billy Gardiner puts the thumb in first. willey

Jason, are you complaining about some of those Centres I worked at, I started at Fairfield in 1969-1976,1987-1988, Rushcutter 1976-1977, Enfield 1972, did you like Bankstown? 1986-1987. I've seen you struggle in Bankstown. What people don't know was most of the BCH-Amf Centre's used Ash in...

Max, keep practising, have your Coach check you are releasing right before you change anything. willey

Micky, I still don't know what you mean by Burnt, in the old days on Lacquer coated Lanes, they would Track in the highly used areas, this would cause the oil to sit on top of the finish and track out much like Synthetics do today, instead of the Porous nature of Lacquer which held the oil in...

Mickyd213, so you may need to give us a bit more info, so you can be helped. Are you able to work on such Lanes or are you just looking for answers. Yes Synthetic lanes can be Screened, with probably a 600 grit screening pad, approaches included, this will allow them to Hold the oil longer...
