Roysa, there are times when I could almost believe that occasionally your posts are only put out here to cause mischief. Something I would never do.

Jackjack, unless I'm badly misreading what you have said about your previous bowling experience, with 233-211-207 first night back, you either have a talent which will quickly propel you to be the world's top bowler, or there is something seriously wrong with our sport. Like some infectious...

I can't quite recall where they are................... Isn't memory a precious thing?

Why are you people not taking me seriously ?? Memories, memories Dreams of love so true O'er the sea of memory I'm drifting back to you.

Roysa and amagill are right. Everyone, please leave bowling alone!! Let it die a quiet, peaceful, painless death ( like slipping away silently in one's sleep.) PLEASE- No high speed crashes or anything like that. After all, we can always look back with pleasant memories. Please?

The best safety is achieved by people taking responsibility for their own safety, and putting their brain into gear first and foremost as they work -- as opposed to relaxing because someone else has a 'duty' to keep them safe. If you fall off a roof you don't land softer, because the boss should...

Just looked up the Burleigh address for Fantastic Furniture. It is 36 Kortum Drive. Just looked up address of Burleigh Bowl - Guess what ?, It is 36 Kortum Drive. You got it in one, Doreen.

Of course it's a 'no-brainer'. Not like other sporting bodies don't do it successfully either - they do, so there are plenty of examples to look at. I suggested it to the ATBC in the early '90s. However we need entrepreneurs not bureaucrats tied to a Government body- ( Institute of Sport )

Bowled there a few times over the years - Pleasant memories.......... Weren't the Nationals held there? 10 or so years ago?

BUT --- It's not on AMFs list of Qld. centres ??

They're advertising school holiday specials on their site - so, let's hope you're not right?

Absolutely !! There's no third choice. Should please that bloke who wants short answers.

I made a promise to myself that I would NOT enter this discussion, but I can't stop myself from saying " good onya Joe!" Bowling used to be, and should still be, a matter of the bowler - purely by his or her own physical skill in moving down the approach, and then releasing the ball in a...

Don't know if I'm getting ahead of the game here, but I'm starting to feel just a wee bit optimistic. You've obviously been doing quite a lot of work, and now there's a bit of curiousity creeping in. There's always more followers than leaders, so get ready for a Peter Brierly fan club ---...

Good one, John. Hope the others enjoyed it also ----- PLUS, especially the onlookers. Any comments from anyone watching ?

Interesting..........Apparently I've never bowled on a house shot in my whole life. Not Fair !! I want one!!!

Hi -- Hope the week-end goes well. Re Brenton's post.. Give it some thought, you can be so close to something that you don't see things from a 'no knowledge' persprctive. When explaining - explain what's happening as if you're explaining it at a kindergarten, as what is self-evident to you can...

I think he's suggesting that some , additional, emphasis on 'additional', incentives for the 'also rans' may improve the tournament scene?

Aiming at dots you need to maintain greater accuracy. ( e.g. I/2board at the dots is much further out at the pins, than 1/2 board out at the arrows ) For years I used dots - 5 or 6 years ago, I changed to arrows. Initially it worked, threw a couple of 290s, and a 289 as part of a 750 series...

Obviously you haven't seen me bowl lately. Still would'nt get me up there with 'Highest league average in Australia.'

I've got a FAR better idea. All tourneys handicap: Handicaps to be the bowlers age..... Fixed!!

I'm not saying.

Sort of fulfills the criteria of a legitimate subject then, I s'pose ? Better look out - we might provoke someone to do something about it ? Nah......that would put the sport's interests above that of the equipment manufacturers. Best we stop talking about it. As an example, I'll start! Just...

Makes a difference when a Bowl is run by bowlers, e.g. Emma and Cameron Walsh ( and indeed the rest of the Walsh family putting their shoulders to the wheel.) You're just living in the wrong place, Geoff; move to Ballina and get you're ( bowling ) lifestyle back again. See you soon ???
