    Its even tougher.

    I am watsa name who bench warms. Just want to understand how Senior Tournament Bowlers can pay big money to average anything between 124 and 155. Jeanette Baker averaged only 180 in the 2 tournaments. What right has TBA to tell Centres what pattern they put down, who checks the pattern????.

    Aussie bowlers in Hong Kong for 22nd Asian Championships

    How can it be a top effort and well done when only one male and one female qualified for Masters and not one medal. Two of our best female bowlers (Gianotti, Baker) are not in the team. Over the years Australia has been competitive now we are overrun by Countries we beat consistently...

    If You Could Change 3 Things About Bowling In Australia. What Would It Be?

    1. Reduce the costs of ALL bowling Tournaments, League, Practice. 2. Cut drastically the Nationals Tournament Expense Fee ($7) 3. Spread the Prize Money to ALL sections of the Nationals including Rachuig, Seniors, Restricted (I HATE that NAME) All bowlers deserve sharing AMF $100,000...

    Tenpin Bowling Going Backwards

    Have just looked at the Averages of bowlers competing for their State or Territory in the Presidents Shield. In these times of equipment & lane condition the majority of averages should be much better, but they are comparable to years ago. Why is this so???. Dockers

    50th Nationals Interesting Figures.

    Very disapointing to be called a dickhead or coming down in a shower. All I would expect Cara to spend some time with the Seniors, Rachuig & Restricted, maybe at their dinners, if she is so busy. I never mentioned what AMF contributed to the Nationals. Some of these posts get too personal...

    50th Nationals Interesting Figures.

    When the Nationals are on all the Country is represented, it is the best opportunity for Cara to meet and greet also hear what bowlers of all averages think & a way of just talking to get to know her membership. I know I am going back in time but for the entire time the Nationals were on...

    50th Nationals Interesting Figures.

    Where is the hate??? no comment about AMF. Just showing how much the bowlers pay & the high amount of tournament expense for every entry $7. All the charges are paid to TBA. I have come from 39 National Championships and in excess of 300 Rachuig games. Dockers
