You're cheating. You've been reading my 'signature'. Anyhow, there is one industry that would be dead without us. We matter to them. You can't say that !

nev25 - Yep its all going to happen in April No wonder the sports dying There are bowlers that want to develop there skills and lean to bowl and cannot get coaching as there is a shortage of coaches and the TBA are doing what about it??? Remind me again why we are paying extract in our...

Wal B, I always wondered what happened to the 'helicopter' bowlers - they were causing quite a stir in the mid-nineties ( men and women ) seem to remember they mainly used 10lb. balls ?

Ahh nev, your thought processes are far too deep for me. Jim

nomore4s said: ↑ Bowlers make me laugh. Always whinging about something. Conditions too hard, conditions too easy, cheater balls destroying the sport, women getting 8 pins headstart, TBA not doing enough, AMF and bowling centres only out to line their own pockets etc etc. Whinge when something...

Peter - Good to hear from you again. Agree with everything you say, but I'm afraid most people to-day can't grasp that 'Certificate 3 in Basket Weaving" is not a vital pre-requisite, to being able to do virtually anything. I'm not blaming them, or even critisising. They have known nothing else...

Come on, people. Just been on 'SUNDAY NIGHT', with mine, we only seem to have 24 likes, and 157 in the 'recomment' box. Don't think those numbers will cause bowling to explode into prime time anytime soon. Do your bit. Do it now !!

Mistagear said;- My comments were more a bigger picture view rather than specific to your instance, how innovation and advancements can be stifled by regimental programs placing restrictions on free thinking. Comment. On this site, generally speaking, you are preaching to the unconvertable...

OMG.. We get 2 X 300s and ONE half hearted Congrats. Every time on any thread, where I, in full acknowledgement of the facts: yes facts, that there is no going back, ( without a player revolution ) every time I say anything that infers that the lane, ball and conditioning machine makers have...

You are being very, very naughty !

I saw Joe bowl several times, couple of times in same event, both before and about when he did the historic perfecto. I can assure you all that it was perfectly balanced and natural. There were some beautiful bowling styles around then. For instance, Erig Jang looked like Nureyev, all that was...

nev, I take it from your original post, that you believe that only an accredited coach would be capable of giving proper coaching, either to a beginner, or someone who wants to improve their game ?

Having read and really considered every opinion and proposition on all these nine pages, I had decided, in absolute finality from me, to say that I believe that this is a bad idea. I've changed my mind however. It doesn't merit a word as far up the scale, as " bad." The very best it...

Sorry Michael. I was typing mine while you were posting yours. It wasn't there when I started. I actually agree with you Calling Michael.... Calling Michael Little....Calling..........

Michael, please see my post on page 4

Oh, for goodness sake, simply by them entering in the same way that others ( male and female ) currently do, who know their probability of making a cut, or being in the prizemony, is slim, as I used to do, when I could physically bowl the number of games required. Wish I still could. Would...

There have always been male and female events, plus open to all events. Now we have ????? events. How do we classify them?... What do we call them? They're not scratch events. They're not handicap events, for a female averaging say 215 gets the same patronising handout, as another female...

Oh, right. Thanks for correcting me on that. Got it now, everyone who bowls in any of those events, bowls off scratch. Thanks again, Jim

What a marvellous achievment that was, John. Can never be repeated or outdone, or even equalled - not now or ever again, now that we play the 'modern' game.

Thanks everyone. Very informative, even considering the possibility of brain meltdown.

Same comment on the 8 pins bonus for fringe bowlers, 190 average ones, or whatever, as I said earlier for Seniors---"Not a very good idea. Seniors have their own tournaments. We're talking here about scratch events. " Everyone clear on that? Scratch events.

Not a very good idea. Seniors have their own tournaments. We're talking here about scratch events.

CT, that makes sense --- unfortunately !!! My certainty reduced to doubt - Again!!
