How about Brian Bridges? Sumo

I am amazed by the lack of common sense shown in our world and the the degree of nit picking that can occur. As you have indicated, the pragmatic view here is to marginally change the length from 38 feet to just less than 38 feet. Nicely handled, Peter. The upcoming reduction of your...

Better than his partner, hey Steevie? I'm on drop rule, when are you gonna join me? Sumo

The actual cost of the oil is laughably small. An extra $10 for the whole house should provide enough oil to swamp most bowlers. However, the oiling machine may not be in good enough condition to lay the pattern. As for problems with heavier oil and ball return problems, that's a crock. If...

IMHO finger holes should NEVER join up. The finger holes should be drilled parallel to each other. I suggest that you take your equipment to the best driller in Brisbane for their opinion. I feel confident that it won't be your current driller cos anyone who drills fingerholes that join up...

I left the game for a long time due to an arm injury. I didn't miss the actual bowling during the time off, but I did miss some of the people. I decided to try again when my arm felt better and found it was 10 yrs plus 1 day since I'd been operated on to fix the injury. Must have been...

I can't comprehend how we can have one age for one part of the Seniors and a different age for the big tournaments, meaning there are two classes of Seniors. As a result of the age inconsistency, I have taken the decision to not bowl again in the Seniors until 2008, when I will be eligible for...

No Jockey, it wasn't a surprise to some I, me, my Sumo

Cowman That's an interesting test. I wear glasses to correct an astigmatism, they are multi focal transitional lenses. The lenses have concentric rings of different focal length, i.e. one lens is primarily for long distances and the other is for close up/reading. By this test I am right...

Re: Question - Who has mastered another sport other than Tenpin Bowling??? In Lawn Bowls I have played Premier League(the highest Melbourne metro Division) and Division 1, have also won a Club Championship Singles and Fours. Still working on Tenpin Bowling after 30 plus years, working...

Hey Freddo Thanks for the PM and the story about leaving the typo in there deliberately. The important questions are "Is Lucy pretty enough that there will be people clamoring for the door prize? or is Lucy really a booby prize?" Either way could be good lol. Unfortunately can't make...

I am both a no thumb bowler and a ball driller. I have also checked this situation with TBA face to face and am up to speed on all these rules. If you drill a thumb hole, weigh the ball as usual (that is the important issue) to check legality,(i.e. 3oz top 1oz side/finger weight) then that is...

Hey you guys in the country do it a bit different..... Is the Lucy Door Prize pretty? Might have to come on up just to check Lucy out, lol Best of luck with the tournament, hope to be there Sumo

Flanking Steve is JP Li (second on left of photo) and Sumo (third). This was my first time at the Nationals and I will certainly aim to be there next year. For Da Bruv, Classic Cup was open to under 200 average bowlers and first stage qualifying was based on Singles and or Doubles entries...

Whisper around is that AMF will have another Melbourne Centre by then Sumo

Righty with lots of revs, ball diving into 1 -3 pocket, looks flush.... bingo 7 - 9 sometimes you've gotta laugh Sumo

All that info and not a word on scoring Sumo

I am bowling Dunn Shield for Moorabbin and also making a flying visit thru the Nationals at Strikezone Sumo

Sometimes it clashes (this year and 2003), sometimes it doesn't and they are a week apart (2002 and 2004). Probably affects 8 bowlers or so. Having the clash might even the playing field for D.S. and make the competition closer. What matters is not who is missing. What does matter is...

Hey MinusZero It is unlikely that the slug can be removed intact, but a moulding can be taken from the slug before it is drilled out. Then a new slug can be made off the mould and inserted in the repaired ball. From then on, every thumb hole will feel the same. Patrick Birtig at Moorabbin...

Gday Otty, Peter Wills here. Steve Bell runs the Vic over 45's and i would be sure that you can contact John Sullivan via Steve. Send a PM to "Belly" See ya Sumo

Klaus was a lovely fella who never complained about the hand life had dealt him. Will be sadly missed. Commiserations to Werner and all the family. Sumo and Sumo 2

Looked like it was 4 games. Ring Moorabbin about cost, times etc on 03 9555 3555 Sumo

AMFLITE MOORABBIN had its reformation meeting last night and will begin it's new season next Wednesday, September 14 (practice starts at 6.15). The league has grown from 14 x 4 at the start of last season to 16 x 4 at the end. We will kick off with 20 x 4 next Wednesday, but if you want to...
