    Sportsmanship - what would you do?

    Jeez, what's all this hate of Brooklyn strikes? We've all done it a thousand times and no one (to my knowledge) has ever said "no my principles will not allow me accept a strike for that poor shot." And might I also point out that not all bowlers actually aim at the traditional pocket. I...

    Sportsmanship - what would you do?

    I've been playing for over forty years and I've never seen anyone knock back a Brooklyn Strike ... and for God's sake of course you take the guy's hand when he extends it to you!!

    BUMPER BOWLING - Good or bad for the sport

    Like I said Dave, I cant cop Bumper leagues .. social play for the very young ones is in some way acceptable. They come in with their parents and, as I'm sure you have observed, will soon get sick of dumping balls in the gutter. The up side is that your amusment machines get an extra workout. A...

There was a time however, when large sausage type contraptions were laid in the gutters to keep the balls on the lanes. This I guess was the fore runner of bumpers. However the fact is that Bowling centres...

    TOTALBOWLING NOW ON FACEBOOK

    Late yesterday (6/10) I was approached by a 'fringe' bowler and asked about TB on facebook. The comments given were very positive in particular with regardes to the pictures of some of the past events. Congratulations guys you have yet again lifted the profile of our sport in Australia. Thankyou!!

    Is It Just Me ?

    Dont be shocked by this, Casual Observer, but there are a couple of points that you say that I agree with. Sites like TB, Interbowl, Pba .com etc are not well publicised. I've never be able to get it why all Bowling Proprieters are reluctant to publicise their business. If you are trying to...

    Is It Just Me ?

    This site gives all bowlers the opportunity to find out what's happening in our sport, a location to place entries, product info etc etc. We also have the chance to express our opinions on what we see as the good and not so good aspects of bowlings present and future. I, for one, check out the...

    Is It Just Me ?

    I sure dont like the way this is sounding. If you bowlers out there want Total Bowling to continue come on board and tell Andrew and his crew how very special this site has become to Tenpin Bowling in Australia and how much we appreciate their efforts to keep it going. Think for a minute...

    Is It Just Me ?

    Well, all I know is if Total Bowling goes then Aussie bowling will have virtually 'no voice' at all! And my fellow bowlers, that would be devestating for our sport. Please hang in there guys .. we need you!
