Jason Doust 230 Thanks to Brando and Storm

I agree with the above points but bowling is an expensive sport compared to some and this may be why league bowlers avoid bowling in tournaments. Years ago, league bowlers were encouraged to bowl in as many tournaments as possible, to gain experience, and build confidence. Now, with the current...

The easy way to combat this problem is to keep track of your scores. Use a spreadsheet and keep your individual scores, who you played and the points each week. Then go into the centre and compare your results to theirs. 99.99% of the time it will be correct, but at least you are keeping your...

My preference is for shorter leagues, but it does depend on how many bowlers you have in the league. Everyone needs to play each other at least twice...but most leagues are on a 3 round basis that I have bowled in. When leagues go for too long the bowlers at the bottom end tend to drop out so...

Well done! Very nice scores from the both of you :)

So glad Ricky Stuart's team was smashed by the Storm. The judiciary made an example out of Cameron Smith by banning him for the rest of the season and the experts all wrote the Storm off. Just goes to show how complacent the Sharks were. 28-0. Enough said. The Storm can win the premiership...

I was in this situation a few years ago. I just was over bowling - couldn't care less. I had a break, and came back. It does happen! The reason I gave it up in the first place was because I was stuck in a rut. I was winning games, bowling well, but really didn't enjoy it. I took up tennis...

I think one of the problems bowling has over other sports in the Olympics is that organisers try to make it overly technical by altering the lane conditions to be almost unplayable. Everyone seems to have their own opinion on this, but I actually think if bowling wants to be on the Olympics...

AMP 225 Matt Riley 226.5 Thanks to the sponsors as always.

I've never bowled one (in sanctioned competition), but I do think it is a lot to do with luck. In practice, I have 5 though. Yes, one lucky frame can make a huge difference. I have bowled 4 sanctioned 290 games but they were 9/ then off the sheet each time (one of them was 17 in a row). I...

I run the league on AbsoluteBowling. I have done so for 3 years now. Yes, this would be a good idea too, but surely an honesty system would prevail here! I believe the bowlers when they say they bowl those scores each week. I believe that they are only cheating themselves if they post...

I will give an example of a situation I have witnessed over the years. There was this tournament where there was a mens and womens division. There were about 30 men and only 3 women. 1st place in each division took home the same prizemoney! Ie. the mens champion had to beat 29 other...

I'm thinking of dropping one of my leagues when it finishes, and maybe spend that money on tournaments...

Matt Riley 220 Ann Maree Putney 218 Thanks as always, to the sponsors.

290 208 290 ___ 788 Yes, still waiting for a legitimate 300 - not in practice or skins lol So frustrated - I've bowled 5 300 games but they didn't count. The latest was in a 9 or more tournament, but they were REAL strikes!

That had to be one of the best shots in golf ever. Just proves his dominance... again!

What a brilliant effort I've tried bowling without my glasses and it's not easy bowling toward a blur!

I started bowling in 1988 and I still haven't bowled a legitimate sanctioned 300. I have bowled 2 in practice but they don't count... I have a tendency to have a spare in the first frame then string strikes afterwards. My record for that is 17 in a row lol

Home centre: Shellharbour Bowl

It was a fantastic event and was very close. It came down to the final game to determine the standings. A very high standard of bowling from everyone!

Now the Junior Nationals are over, we might get some answers hopefully.

I've been waiting for the Nationals to be closer to home and I was really looking forward to the Classic Cup... If enough people show interest, does anyone think we can have the event reinstated?

How do they know it won't attract enough entries this year? Entries change annually. I know quite a few bowlers who have been looking forward to this event. I hope TBA reconsiders their position on this. Just take a look at the entries in past years for other competitions - one year they...
