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,...
... 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...
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...
Carl, I can remember a similar issue, just with a cup of coke. And in the scramble of trying to clean up the mess before it got on someones shoes, the plastic...
It is meant to be 2 separate positions, but as you said, the smaller leagues tend to lump them both together. On my Tuesday night league, I am the Secretary...
That is awsome, i remember those as well. Maybe 30 isn't so bad, just enough memory of the way things used to be with all of the current happenings. Thank you...
For me the things that make a secretary treasure earn their money is the beginning of the season and the end of the season. Beginning - You have to call all...
... Nope - the tape was below the surface, so that wasn't a problem. It seems that I've *always* had thumb problems(knuckling, ripped skin, etc). *One* time...
... Our leagues all have separate officers. I *do* know a lady who does both jobs in her league, though. The house has 24 lanes, but I don't know if that...
Eldred, read my post. RELAX. Also, how far to the surface of the ball re you putting the tape? If to the surface or just below, bingo, that is the problem. Put...
... A friend of mine came out to watch us bowl Tuesday night. He said I was dropping the ball at the foul line. He suggested that I put tape in the back of...
You might want to talk to a coach as well. Talk to your local pro shop operator too, he can give you some advise. If you are in the Houston TX area I know a...
In our league it is only one person. Of course, we only have 12 teams... maybe bigger leagues have decided to share the work load a bit? Brian ... From: "Carl...
Hi all, Last night before league, I had the chance to practice for an hour! Seems as though one of the leagues team on the lanes to the right of ours, mostly...
What do you think you are doing wrong? Most of the times I've seen two things: Timing and head positioning during the approach and even more importantly at the...
oh, ok. Antoine you have to remember I didn't step foot into a bowling alley for 30 years after dropping out in 1984. I kinda miss keeping score to tell you...
I'm not sure but I think it's done by one guy, Carl. Gary ... From: Carl E. Milliken To: BowlingTips101@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, November 12, 2009 2:18...
When I first started league bowling the position of secretary/treasurer was held by one person. Now it seems, with the exception of very small leagues, the...
I remember both overhead and score sheets. Does that bring back memories. I recall one hotly contested match with the overhead scores and the plastic sheets...
Hehehe... I remember overheads and paper score sheets. Wife and I went to western Kentucky a few years back, stayed in Murray,KY. We stopped into an alley......
Easy there Gary, I am only 30 and I started bowling on a system such as that! I AM SO NOT OLD!               Antoine "AJ" Jones Greater...
I've been a 2 league bowler for over 30 years but I have tanked all this year. I have been a 190 ave bowler for the past 10 years but right now I'm 160 in one...
... I still have the overhead sheet from my 300, even though it was an unsanctioned league... Eldred -- An easy way to become poor is to pretend you are rich. ...
You ought to try going 297, 300 and not shooting 800. I did that back in 98, shot a lousy 179 the last game. It aint as easy as it sounds, trust me. [Non-text...
Yes, my confidence is back somewhat and my accuracy is up there now where I feel I can actually use a plastic ball and hit well. I have an old caramel white...
I remember in my only sanctioned 800, I had a 299 and a 279 and then I was like...am I going to do it? I ended up with a 244. I still have the overhead...
