Jarrod Langford rolled one of the best sets I have ever witnessed this morning in Generation Gap league. 275/300/277 for 852, and with a little luck could have been even bigger (front 9 cold 8pin first game). Great effort from the Burdekin junior. Bowled on 3 & 4 with Chloe Wilson, who also had...

Interesting rule change from USBC regarding no thumb ball drilling specs. http://www.bowl.com/News/NewsDetails.aspx?id=23622321723 Not before time, imo.

First game of Sunset Trios tonight, three perfect flush hits in the 10th to finish off one of the prettiest 300 games you will ever see. Rolled it with a Storm Invasion we drilled last week. Congrats Emily, sure to be the first of many.

Hi All, As some of you will know, my better half Kirsty does special needs family day care. One of her kids, 18-month old Nolan, was born 14 weeks premature and has severe quadriplegic cerebral palsy. Nolans' parents have taken him to Brissy for specialised physical therapy to help him learn to...

Just like to thank the TBAQ Board and others who made the trip up to Cairns for the northern region AGM. It was a very productive and informative day. It was also great to see every northern association represented at the meeting. Looking forward to moving forward!

Hi All, Been a nervous wait, but Townsville has been confirmed as the 2013 Nationals venue. Just thought I'd put out some info about the centre and some of our plans for the event. TBA will no doubt be releasing the event schedule and information on the Masters and other events in due course...

On the dreaded 1&2, 11 flush then a pesky 6 pin. Unlucky, but I reckon the way he's throwing it that elusive 300 is not too far off!

Since I have a crap drill press, I made up a converter in Excel so that I only have to crank the table one way to drill ovals. Basically, you input the starting pitches and desired oval angle, and it spits out the pitches needed to line the ball up with the oval vertical. Align the ball with the...

http://www.bowlinginstallations.com/shock.aspx.htm Very interesting, and more than a little scary.

Congrats to Jacob Nowak who fresh from the weekends STS camp bowled his first 300 at the NQ Junior Champs in Innisfail today. Been a few near misses lately, this is sure to be the first of many. 300 was in teams, managed a very nice 239 average for all events along the way. Ball was a Storm VG...

The '8 pins' thread got me thinking about how the ranked events numbers can be helped. Some random ideas off the top of my head... Make everyone who bowls eligible for ranking points, but only give cashers points. It should be difficult to get onto the Aussie rankings lists, as it stands...

Following the roll off at Cairns Goldpin Lanes, the NQ President Shield teams are as follows (pending acceptance forms) Boys: Jarrod Langford; Jacob Nowak; Jamie Baddeley; Luke Griffiths; Matthew Dickson; Jonathon Hannah; Zach Marks. Girls: Katey Furze; Chloe Wilson; Gena Ott; Emily...

Hi all, Trying to find out what type of lanes (make and age) they have at Tenpin City Lidcombe, now that the oil pattern is out. TIA!

Well done to Steve "Tubby" Hunt who bowled his 9th 300 game tonight at Kirwan. I said i wouldn't mention him tripping the 4-5 with the 7 pin in the 9th frame, so I won't. :D Crunched all 3 in the 10th though! Added 243 and 227 for a nice 770 series too.

On the off chance that some of you guys do read this forum, I have a question: Is there enough depth in NZ to field separate North Island and South Island teams in the Rachuig comp? While we tend to look at NZ as a special case, I really don't feel it is appropriate to field another...

Seems to have slipped under the radar a little, but welcome to the Australian Defense Force guys and gals, who will be the 10th team at the 2011 Rachuig Tournament.

Just got this months Bowling this Month from the States, and the 'bowling down under' article is a very nice piece on the mental game by Chris Mesagno. Congrats Chris!

Congrats to Steve Hunt who shot a very fine 259/245/300 (804) set tonight at Kirwan with his Invasion, in the process becoming the first to shoot 2 300 games in the centre.

Hi all, Got my Silver membership card, and the attached letter that says ranking is automatic for silver members. Queried this with TBA, since I'm not on the ranked players list. Apparently many people are not filling in their DOB on the registration, which is required to be listed in the...

There are some people with waaay too much time on their hands. YouTube - Cat Laser Bowling

Since Nationals showed up some somewhat ordinary relaease consistency, I have been practicing and bowling one league a week with a slate U-dot. In doing so, I have rediscovered the joy of standing right of the big dot :D. So, I treated myself to a Natural Pearl for Chrissy, expecting a ball I...

Some more nice bowling from EJ Starkey at Innisfail, 278/279/268 for 826/3. In rare form at the moment, make sure you save some of that for the Cairns Open mate!

Jarrod Langford is the 2010 BnT Constructions Junior Open champion for the second year running after running down Chris Hays in the final. The two semifinals were also thrillers, with Chris getting past Jacob Nowak and Jarrod squeaking past Kevin Gregory by just 1 pin. The Girls division was...

Hi All, just a reminder that the B&T Construction Junior Open is on at Kirwan Tenpin on the 4th & 5th December. Entry form in in the Queensland tournament forum. Entries can be posted in this thread or call the Bowl on 47732133. Great value - entry just $135 and every entrane receives a...

After 22 straight years, Ash Riley bowled his 400th game in Rachuig this week. That is simply an incredible performance. Congrats Ash, and I hope I am there to see no. 500.
