So true Geoff and thats one of the reasons why i dont bowl anymore tournaments for the time being. Im not interested in trying to improving myself or winning anymore and have lost that killer instinct hence the reason why i stick to leagues. Im loving the socialising of bowling at the...

Congrats buddy well done,you have so much in front of you.

I think thats the most sensible comment i have read in the past week :) 110% agree

Im sure you will get your first 600 pretty soon,your knocking on the door. Try not to think about it,just relax and have fun. I bowled my first 600 in 1987 from memory,about 2 years after i started bowling. Now its just a normal thing to bowl 600. Keep plugging away :)

Not sure what the issue is with NSW, a lot of the bowlers I know are tenpin Sydney members, some of those bowlers are happy to be in one association as they only bowl in tenpin Sydney tournaments- east coast cup etc... The Telstar doubles at Blacktown on thursday nights requires you to be a TBA...

Cost of living far greater than it was in the 70's and 80's and even the 90's to a point. The Percentage of a persons wage going into there mortgage is greater than the old days. Prizemoney has stayed pretty much the same but entry fees on the rise. However one has to remember that we don't...

Excuse me if this question has been asked before,but is it only certain states that make it compulsory for bowlers to join the TBA? im suprised they didnt enforce this nationwide??

I have asked a few bowlers in the past few weeks and they said they have never heard of the TBA,however they remember the ATBC. I think in the ATBC days its was compulsory to be a member to bowl league.

Im going to the Gold Coast over the xmas period,i have driven past Ballina bowl many times during my trips in the past. I should call in a have a throw one day :)

In most tournaments,yes the prizemoney remains the same,or has even dropped over the years no doubt due to increase costs and reduced numbers, however when i used to bowl tournaments,it wasnt because of the money,it was because i wanted to compete against to best and have a go.I earn my money...

A few years ago from memory i wasnt a TBA member for one or 2 years in a row,due to the reasons i stated above,so its definatly not the first time i havent been a member. By no means im knocking the association,i felt it pointless being in two associations. I was always a Tenpin Sydney member...

I wasnt going to join the TBA this year at all,only because im a Tenpin Sydney member and didnt see the need to be in two associations,as i dont bowl in any TBA tournaments anymore. I only joined the TBA in 2010 because it is mandatory to be a TBA member to bowl in the Telstar doubles at...

Fantastic effort Lee well done. No doubt that would be the highest series bowled in Australia this year? And one of the highest series bowled of all time? Congrats to the whole team as well. :)

Gees thats some good numbers there considering that was done back before reactive balls came into play . So maybe its a myth that averages are higher than of 20 or so years ago??. Seems to me that Bowling averages were just as high as they are now??

Well done damo, your bowling well

So why are they lofting the ball so much on that condition? Is it to get the ball on the clean part of the lane??

Even if its on a ditch,its still impressive bowling,you still have to have the carry to achieve those numbers. Mind you only a few bowlers would average that on a easy condition :)

I had a feeling you would of Averaged 250 sometime in your career george :) Maybe your the only bowler that has achieved that.

That makes my 245 qualifying average in the 1999 western open look rather ordinary. Great numbers,the yanks are pretty much the best at everything,Except for Cricket and Rugby of course :) Has anyone averaged over 250 in a tournament in Australia??

The conditions were fair in my opinion, i cant seem to bowl on tournament conditions like i used to,purely because i am overweight and fat and i have no match fitness ,and not mentally strong compared with the top bowlers. There was a line on the left,just had play tight thats all. I was...

Was certainly a great event,some rumors are flying around that it could be held at Rooty Hill next year as well? Can anyone verify the accuracy of that? Also,for what reason couldnt the Tenpin Bowling Show film the final? I thought that would of been the obvious choice?? Cheers :)

Be great to see them get to 500 games,how good would that be :)

Congratulations on your achievement. So does Ash hold the record number of rachuig games??

Congratulations on your masters victory. A great Achievement in itself.

True,it does cost money for a TV event to happen,whether it be live or even delayed. However if you look at some of the programming on ONE HD for example surfing and they have a fishing show??? Who would fund the fishing show and they cant fund for a Tenpin Bowling event??
