Gary, That was my thing on Friday nights when I was a teenager. Going to the bowling center with my parents and keeping score, I rather enjoyed it. I did...
... I used to make a few bucks as a kid going to tournaments with my dad. I would keep score during the early session, and the bowlers would give me a tip. So...
Hi all, I'm curious, do any of you remember pin boys? How about how the lanes used to be? Watch an old bowling match with pin boys. Notice the pin action,...
Hello everyone, I wanted to share this story with you. I got asked to sub last night and there were a lot of high scores. A friend of mine was bowling next to...
It has done my memory good to hear a lot of you learned scoring from the old style plastic sheets and the grease pen. I too learned how to score with my mom...
Nice shooting Yuma! Sounds like one heck of a league. Your events remind me of my 799. I had shot256 and 297 (got a bit wide on last shot). Wasn't even...
Yes wonderful shooting! I'm waiting for that day/night someday. Did it once on 10-4-82 and want to do it again! Keep it up Gary ... From: Eldred Pickett To:...

I remember going 5-pin bowling with my parents and watching the pin boys do the dance when the pins flew, but have only seen auto pin setters for 10 pin. Brian...
Yeah, we used to have crayon and those hot light tables that projected it up on the small wall that hung down at the foul line. Most bowling alleys still...
Still one left. It is the last known manual setter still in operation. Rumor has it that AMF tried to buy it from McMurdo and even offered to replace...
I REMEMBER PIN BOYS WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER .. USED TO GO TO A SMALL CENTER ON GLENWOOD AVE. IN PHILLY THEY HAD PIN BOYS THERE..ALSO DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THE OLD...
Actually Holler House in Millwaukee Wisconson Still has two lanes that are sanctioned by the USBC located in their basement. Â Line up with the perfect line up...
I grew up in the Boston area in the 50's where "10-pin" bowling wasn't available. It wasn't real bowling to us Bostonians. I grew up bowling candlepins....My...
I think there is something unique about the McMurdo lanes (besides the fact that they are in Antarctica) that AMF was really wanting to buy them. Had a...
The most interesting thing about McMurdo Lanes is that is the Bowling alley that is the furthest south in the world and actually Brunswick was the comany that...

Eldred, That is a great set. Was a lesson learned here? I feel ok if I learn a lesson (and APPLY it) even if I shoot 540! Gary ... From: Carl E. Milliken To:...

In the 30's 40's and early 50's Laquer was used for lane conditioner. Then came Shellac and then during the late 70's modern lane conditioners were developed...
