Nah, he could have just been euphoric about the 300, and had
concentration fail him.  Or, people could have been buying drinks, and
he imbibed too much.

Does your secretary still do things by hand?  If so, they're working pretty hard
to earn their money.

The two most popular secretary programs have a simple click button to upload to
bowl.com.
It's a free upload.

I'd say it would still be better to take the level 1 seminar in person as you
may have some questions, but coach striking cat is right.  the online seminar
was added i think to help out those who couldn't make it to the seminars.  I
mean, if I only wanted the level one course 4 years ago, I would have had to go
the US (I'm from the philippines) to get it. meanwhile, I hope the USBC isn't
planning on making the Bronze Seminars online too.  I think that's where I would
draw the line.

It may be late to sound off on this but here it is.

I think it is a dorp in the quality of treaning of coaches to do the classes
online now. The "Level 1" class at the local center was a great move as it took
us to the lane for a hands on section throught out the class. In the section of
the class question came up that would not have if it was online. What one did
bot think of the other did.

What is the feeling of the group on the classes online?

Do I do the next level online or find a class at a center?

Just dot think I will get as much out of it online.

There is a learning curve with a plastic ball.  Can be tough learning curve
during actual league play.  Heck I have used a new first ball on a few
occasions and have had great games then again I have had some awful sets
with a new ball.  Hopefully you can get some practice games in to get used
to the new ball.

Another Monday where I think I have a pretty good groove and then it just
goes away.

226 on the first game. No spares, all strikes and a few opens.

Got a new plastic ball for spares and didn't practice at all with it, so I
was spending time trying to figure it out and get comfortable with it. It
goes straight. Straight as an arrow, just like it should. My old spare ball
was a urethane ball and it would hook slightly. So I do have a learning
curve with this ball.

Second game was 150 something. One strike, few opens, spares.

Last game was a 190 something. Almost all spares. By this time I had figured
out the plastic ball for everything on the right. Used my primary ball to
pick up spares on the left.

Left lane was dryer than the other and both lanes dried out really quick. I
moved inside to try and find some oil, but there wasn't much there either.

I just thought I would throw out a little bit o' good ol' team bowling. The
last 3 weeks of bowling on the Monday night men's league, our team has taken
12 of 12 points. It isn't so much the point sthat we are getting, it is more
the games that are getting them for us. To start this win streak, our set-up
man (4th position) on this 5 member team shot 300/700. Last week, I shot
300/700 in the lead off position. Then last night, our middle man shot
290/300/700 for a total of 24 in a row. To have 3 of 5 guys shoot 300 on the
same team in back to back weeks, WOW what bowling. I can only hope that we
can win the first half so all this bowling won't go to waste.

Thanks Eldred.  I was so afraid I would either get sick or pass out.  I was
more concerned though over the captain.  Thankfully the league is a hospital

Hi everyone,

Rushed this morning. Last night was odd. Started great, had a nice line to
the pocket. Lost it by the second ball in the 10th... a 5-6, missed it.

Next game couldn't get the ball to move. I still had no opens, a clean game,
185.

Third game changed to my Storm (was using the fury) did a little better but
the ball just floated on the oil...especially the left lame. I had one
strike on it in 2 games. Right lane, no problamo, man, had more strikes than
not. Ended up with a 187- 594 for the three. Only missed one spare, I picked
off the 7 from a 4-7. In practice, I'd be thrilled to do that...over and
over but in a league where we needed the wood...NEVER. Oh well, I felt
great, thumb felt excellent...with the taping of the thumb hole...so well,
that I could REALLY read the lanes, more than I've ever been before.

Boy, I wish I had my Hammer (the new ball that actually hooks on oil) with
me last night. I think I will have to get a locker for it and leave it at
the Monday league house.

Carl,

I'm sorry to hear about the reaction to the beer. Your condition can be very
tough to balance at times, last night seemed to be one of them. Forget it
and go on. Last night our bottom guy (in the 190's) fluffed a 6-10, we lost
the only game we had a chance at.

We smiled, and said wait till next week!

Sounds like you guys had a horrible night.

I hope you do better next week.

Gary

That's the largest league I've ever been on.  1st place in mixed
doubles is $1000 per person.  Even the Mystery games are over $350.
If you do very well in the 2nd game and sweep doubles, you can easily
walk out with $4000.  I need to figure out how to get that good...

I always start out slow but I chalk it up to being on the football field early
in the evening then off to bowl league. Now football season is winding down and
my average will go up.
There's a lot to be said about how your body reacts to standing out in the cold
in an open field for 2 hours before bowling.

Hi Coach,
As a former level 1 InstructorI wanted to chime in on your feeling
with the level 1 class now being done on line.
1. As an instructor we made $15.00 per student we had in our classes.
I myself enjoyed teaching the classes  and would have done it for nothing.
What i did was I gave the money I made from teaching the classes to the
scholarship
fund in the youth travel league in which i am a coach.
2. I agree with you that you lose that personal touch with an instructor and
fellow classmates
who you can bounce ideas off of. on line you just sit at the computer
read and take a test, boreing!
If I hear of someone in the center where i coach is going to take the online
cours.
I will go the center with them and go over the course and the onlane drills
so that they can feel more at ease when they take the test. i do not charge them
anything for this service
because if they can take the course and pass the test then I will have
some help coaching in our youth leages.
Joe gordon

Another Monday where I think I have a pretty good groove and then it just goes
away.

226 on the first game.  No spares, all strikes and a few opens.

Got a new plastic ball for spares and didn't practice at all with it, so I was
spending time trying to figure it out and get comfortable with it.  It goes
straight.  Straight as an arrow, just like it should.   My old spare ball was a
urethane ball and it would hook slightly.   So I do have a learning curve with
this ball.

Second game was 150 something.  One strike, few opens, spares.

Last game was a 190 something.   Almost all spares.  By this time I had figured
out the plastic ball for everything on the right.  Used my primary ball to pick
up spares on the left.


Left lane was dryer than the other and both lanes dried out really quick.   I
moved inside to try and find some oil, but there wasn't much there either.

I didn't know that - I thought you had to be an 'official' member to
search.  My Monday league is 1218 on Bowl.com.  I haven't found the
Thursday league yet.

i think the lass should be held in center also so one gets a better
understanding of the materials & teaching methods. learning in an online mode is
cold & inpersonal ! who do you turn to for hels if a situation arises??  just my
two cents worth !!!!

As a former Level 1 instructor, I do not like the classes being online.  The
hands on and interaction is taken away.  I do understand the reasons why the
classes are online.  There has been major changes at USBC Coaching in the last
few years.  The personel changes that have been made have brought a change in
philosphy.  Bob Maki, Cary Pon and group tried bringing coaching to the masses. 
The new group has a different goal.  I believe David Garber and his staff want
to change the quality of upper coaching levels and keep those that are Bronze
and above at a higher level.  Level 1 coaching suprisingly is about 50% bowling.
The class is more about safety and orientation than anything.  The Level 1
classes are do not have the bowling content that many bowlers demand.  Examples
would be what you would get in Bronze and Silver.  The Level 1 is aimed at
teaching beginning bowlers and youth.  Many serious bowlers are not interested
it doing that and traveling 50 miles.  It may sound selfish but many future
coaches start coaching to improve their games.  So someone in Idaho that wants
Level 1 to be a youth coordinator would have a hard time getting the knowledge
without it being online.

Darnit, I forgot to ask about online access for my Monday League.  My
Tuesday league is 39158 on leaguesecretary.com
I don't think my Thursday league is online.

total of 24 in a row. To have 3 of 5 guys shoot 300 on the same team in back to
back weeks, WOW what bowling. I can only hope that we can win the first half so
all this bowling won't go to waste.

It may be late to sound off on this but here it is.

I think it is a dorp in the quality of treaning of coaches to do the classes
online now. The "Level 1" class at the local center was a great move as it took
us to the lane for a hands on section throught out the class. In the section of
the class question came up that would not have if it was online. What one did
bot think of the other did.

What is the feeling of the group on the classes online?

Do I do the next level online or find a class at a center?

Just dot think I will get as much out of it online.
