    What do people want to see

    Free bowling won't happen. At AMF every game gets reigstered with the games number going through to Sydney head office supposedly, very tight. In an earlier post, someone mentioned about staff. How do they effect or influence a social bowlers experience? what efforts are made by staff to go...

    My thoughts on the state of bowling in Australia

    Look at many other sports, most if not all sports have decent sponsorships, ranging from small endoresements to sponsorships on a very large scale... Trouble, I am guessing only here atx106, but I think, that sponsors probably have been contacted in the past, and for whatever reason, such as...

    AO Squad List

    Hey, Cass you wrote : "Be supportive, critized AMF doesnt help "Australian bowling sport" becomes better. I thought if you love bowling then you promote it naturally to others without any demandings or expect anything from returns.".... If I do, then I apologise, for its only due to utter...

    AO Squad List

    Just checked it out, 59 bowlers... Doesn't seem like many, for a tournament that is considered as a major tournament!!! No promotion at our local AMF centre, and we have two or three bowlers competing... You think that every centre would want to promote their bowlers, this tournament, and this...

    AMF Game Rates?

    Wayne, your comment re bowlin being outdated and overpriced, summed it up SO right!! So how do we change the perception of this, as a means to attract new bowlers both juniors and adults back into the sport??? I use to take kids from my school where I use to work to bowl after school once...

    AMF Game Rates?

    I was a member of my local tennis club for many,many years. That entitled me to play anytime with the exception of Sat mornings and afternoons due to competition.. Basically anytime, and as often as I would like. It cost me only $150.. I would be happy to pay $2000 for the same deal with a...

    AMF Game Rates?

    After around 30 posts, what a lot of thoughts and varying views around on this subject. I wonder if there are any AMF big wigs perhaps casting a casual eye on this thread.. I can get a bit down on them at times, but I sincerely want them to have a full house and make money. Good on them, but I...

    AMF Game Rates?

    Gary, $5.50 isn't bad to bowl for a child of a league bowler..I got 4 for $18, no problems there at all. Its the walk in bowlers, u know Mum and Dad with the two or three kids, it gets mighty expensive...Once bitten twice shy!!

    AMF Game Rates?

    I took my 3 kids bowling today. We had a game each, being a league bowler I got 4 games for $18. I then paid $6.95 for each of us for lunch, then another $10 on the game machines/tokens... We arrived say 11.00am, left 1.20pm happy with bouncy balls, toy dinosaurs and a tennis racquet paddle...

    AMF Game Rates?

    It does seem pretty rough Chris, being a parent myself of three youngsters I can fully appreciate this. The only thing I would suggest would be to always have your league card on u, that way u avoid the $13.50...Or tell the centre which centre u bowl at and day of the week league u bowl in...

    How Far Is A Game?

    I can bowl on my own at times during the week (phantom leagues), when I am bowling , I don't take breaks, just keep bowling my 4 games.. By end, I know my heart rate was up, around 100-130's(guessing, but I do have some knowledge in this area), sweat all over T Shirt, and dripping everywhere...

    Bronze, Silver and GOLD patterns!

    Just read all posts here ... This discussion could last for a decade with excellent points both sides.. If we are to devlelop and improve the "sport" of bowling, and if most of us would agree that begins with our humble league bowlers (to which I am proudly in that category) why not...

    Cranbourne lanes, vic.. are they full length

    Hi, Just wondering if anyone can confirm whether the Cranbourne Bowland lanes are the full standard 60ft from fouline???? I have only bowled there twice, but they sure look short when standing on the approach.. Maybe its just my eyes failing me... Peace out. LOTP:confused:

    Jason belmonte on espn

    Great watch, I agree interesting... In particular the Bolivian approach to this style of bowling., and their absoulte and total adoption of this technique.. Also great to see Duke and Weber in there too.
