Yes Christian your seeing the Light. These people that are talking less Tournaments will only ruin the Sport, we need More Tournaments, simple Tournaments. For those not old enough to remember, the Grand Prix series did not start all of a sudden, it took years of Satellite Tournaments from...

Here we go again, I had this VISION we only have 1 Tournament, on at the same time as the Olympics (every 4 years), we also have the Adults, Juniors and Seniors all bowling together(so we can get the numbers up), anybody else see IT. What we need is MORE Tournaments, especially at a Centre...

Gee, I remember Bowling in the Brisbane Cup at Clayfield in 1982, for the Finals they Double Oiled the Lanes, is this the same thing, this was a common occurrence in the 80's. Of course being a rather Quick Bowler the extra Oil didn't help me as I lost my first 9 Matches but when the lanes dried...

Thanks Peter, thats exactly what I've seen, also good to see the other u-tube links to Andy. willey

Sorry Rowey, your showing your Age, I have seen the same thing done in a Movie made in the 30's, by Andy Varipapa, only instead of Chairs he had Legs, attached to Beautiful Girls. Also seen footage of Varipapa doing the same Trick using Rows of Pins. Maybe someone could get footage of...

Androoo, are you just trying to make yourself feel Better, it was obvious it was just a safe fill ball he bowled to win the game. willey

Tonx, are we talking League average or Tournament average. My guess, Don Johnson for Tournaments willey

Yes I agree, she is a very good Bowler and I have never, in all the years I've known her, heard her complain about Lane conditions. I've heard her Father complain but that's another story. willey

Not good enough Ross, and you Oil the Lanes. Frank

Well done Donald, how many is that now? I still remember the night he shot 800 against me, I was 1 strike away from winning the first game. willey

Thats not so bad Wayne, I came from Fairfield and worked at Fairfield Bowl in the 60's and I remember a hole in the Ceiling over the Pool Tables where a Shot Gun had been discharged. Than there was the Murder of the Cleaner, Merv Malouf, after the Centre was shut, at Rushcutter Bowl, one of the...

Congratulations Georgya, so who has the youngest 300 bowled in Australia for Females, it used to be Amanda at 14, has anybody younger bowled one. willey

As I have said previously, the Downturn in Membership started, when there was a Coup to have Managers and anyone else who worked in Bowling Centres, unable to be Members of the Associations. Prior to the Coup, Managers were automatic representatives of the Centre association, which in turn meant...

I thought he drilled his own balls. willey

Down and In, what machines do you have? willey

O/K you've got me, what are Pin Burns, seeing as I worked in Bowling Centres for 36 years you would think I knew but I have never heard of that term used, or what it applies to. willey

Do you think thats Bad, how about this, I Bowled in the 1982 Australian Masters, representing NSW, at The Golden Bowl Camberwell, I needed to ease my Thumb hole in my newly drilled Ball, guess what the Pro-Shop wasn't opened, because of the Nationals. I had spare white tape. I just missed the...

Well done Michael, I've seen you doing it before at Mayfield, throwing one ball over the gutter going Coast to Coast, than bowling a different ball on the other lane because of the Overlane Ball Returns, Unique. willey

I'm with Robbie, leave it alone, unless it is irritating the Thumb. I doubt it will spread and it won't spread to the casing. willey

50/50 Bleach and Water has been a favourite for many years, sprayed onto pindeck just after cleaning. Not recommended on some Synthetics but it works. Now there is the "No Slide Pin Spot" which is legal, and eliminates all Off Spots. willey

Wow, that many calls a night, I used to have about 6 calls a week in my last 30 Centre and they were the Oldest Machines in Australia at Hurstville. But we never had Off Spots, they started to increase over the years as the Lanes were cleaned more, dirty pindecks don't have Off Spots. willey
