Huge congratulations to Geelong mens and ladies on a great weekend of bowling. Just wondering if anyone could post the final standings for all the teams? Well done to everyone that competed too!

Wayne has proven himself at the highest level already, so lets just leave the personal stuff at that. As for the condition, both of you have a good point. Abuse is right, because it shows that no matter how people perceive the lanes, you've still gotta bowl at your absolute best to get those...

So sad reading your story Adam. Not actually a car crash as such, but back in 2003 i was in a 10 seater school bus crash on the way to Melbourne. It was the scariest moment of my life, because we were travelling at about 110 when we ran off the freeway and it was clear we would hit the concrete...

I had to nominate myself for this one. Started a new league after a 4 month break last night, and i was a bit nervous, because some of these guys were very good, and my form was non existent at best. So i lined up, took my time, delivered my first practice shot... WHUMP!!!! I turned to see...

Quite right Liz. Plenty of drama! Here is a link to the story: http://www.geelonginfo.com.au/readarticle.asp?articleid=14992

Recently someone suggested that when lining up, i should hold the weight of the ball entirely in the left hand (being a right hander), as this keeps the right arm relaxed throughout the swing. Obviously that makes sense. However i find that to do this effectively, the ball rests in my left hand...

Some more detailed information from the real estate confirms that an 8 lane bowling centre will definitely be constructed, accompanied by a restaurant and several retail/residential properties of varying size starting from $275,000 each. The complex will be situated at 209 - 213 Settlement Road...

I heard recently that a complex down in Cowes is fully drawn up and selling as we speak, complete with a bowling alley. Sure enough, advertisments in a local real estate agent confirmed that this project is going ahead. 'The bowling alley is coming to Cowes' adorned a nice poster at a Real...

Ok there wasn't a news story, but for the whole bulletin there was a bowling video playing right next to the newsreaders head, on one of the screens in the background. Made the 11:30 news that much more interesting anyway! And its one small step closer to better coverage and exposure for...

I know i have been the victim of such a problem at the start of this year. I left Sale with a 155 average, and came to Melbourne, only to average 207 for my first 2 weeks of league. Naturally, when i went to enter a handicap tournament that week, i put down the 155 as my only established...

Haven't really had many close losses of late. Probably my most frustrating close loss was in Country Cup a few years back, needing only 6 to win my point in the last ball of the last frame, FOUL! First and last foul in any tournament since, that's for sure! Even more frustrating, because Sale...

That second group of people makes it a very frustrating situation. I know i would love to try out for De Veer if my average permitted, just to get a taste of what it feels like to represent your state. But these people give the tournament a poor reputation, which it doesn't deserve. The...

Hi David Obviously there are a lot of variables involved, wrist guard included. I personally use one because i have a weak wrist, but some people just like the feel of it and get used to it. But i think really the main issue is keeping a relaxed shot. I got some tips today and changed little...

I have exactly the same problem. For me, it was caused from growing up in Sale back in what i would call the 'dark ages'. When i first started, anyone with revs on their shot could not keep their ball on the lane. Consequently, it was almost a crime to have revs, as no matter how the ball was...

I would definitely second that. The other day, i was really struggling after the first few frames in a practice game. So i pulled out my trusty plastic spare ball, and finished the game with a 7 bagger for a 230 odd. Plastics can strike, just as long as you're accurate. It can get rather nasty...

Look at any sport, such as a footy match. It is not uncommon for a new player to get barely 10 minutes on the ground for the entire match. If they are young and inexperienced, or not required for the team plan, then they'll remain on the bench, only to get a few minutes of junk time near the...

I had the same problem as you stormy, as recently as 10 minutes ago. So I simply refreshed the page and the scores were there. Well done to Brenton on his 300! It would seem he certainly knows all about bowling perfect games in tense situations! Bowling one for huge money, bowling one at...

Here's the link to the Round 1 scores, which are on the PBA site incidentally: http://www.pba.com/rrscores.asp?TournamentID=148&RoundID=1 Go Belmo!

Hey, my email is crawf39@hotmail.com And i like those championship winning Fords. What can i say? :P

Guilty of a similar crime last night, first game 140, followed by 235! :oops: Was happy with the recovery though. :P

Awesome effort by the Vic team. Well done to Gunther on his high mens game, as well as having the second highest scratch average for the tournament, that's a nice effort! And looking at the results, Daryl, Tracey and Robyn bowled very well, fully deserving their place in the team of the year...

Bowling league last night, went all 9/ for the whole game! The only plus side to the 190 was that i was also putting my scores in for qualifying in a no tap tournament, so the 300 was much appreciated!

1995 EF Ford Fairmont (V8 of course!)

Yeah, roos on the side of the road is one thing, but seeing one fly after getting hit at 170kmh? I find THAT disturbing!

I sat and enjoyed every one of the 161 laps, it was fantastic! But i do that every year, so its no problem. That was some real disturbing vision of the kangaroo though. To be hit at that speed...! I'm sure Channel 10 regreted it the moment they showed that vision, bathurst being a family show...
