I am really enjoying this bag. It is roomy, rolls well & I love the removable ball separator. I don't have to put a towel between my bowling balls. There is plenty of room for my shoes, socks & shoe covers in the top. I am completely satisfied with the bag. - Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Bowling Rules! Some Reminders on the Game

dannesand@bowlersalley.org (dannesand) — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 21:50:42 GMT

Bowling is a fairly simple game, which may be the reason why so many like it; making it one of the most played recreational sports today. The rules surrounding the game are even simpler.

Bowling is a fairly simple game, which may be the reason why so many like it; making it one of the most played recreational sports today. The rules surrounding the game are even simpler.

Rules

Attire
There is no real regulation apparel when bowling, except for the shoes. This is because the surface of the lane has to be protected for playing consistency. There are special shoes made for bowling and can be rented at the bowling alley or purchased at reputable sporting goods stores.

Ball
A regulation ball is no more than 27 inches in circumference and weighs between 10 and 16 pounds. Most balls have three finger holes for better grip, but it is not uncommon to see bowling balls that have just two holes.

Play
A bowler will need to complete a series of 10 frames to complete a game or "string". The goal is to be able knock down the largest number of pins possible within a limited number of tries.

The perfect game is scored at 300 points, meaning that the bowler was able to accomplish 12 consecutive strikes in the game.

Restrictions
When making an approach, the bowler must not step over the foul line. The foul line is located 60 feet before the head pin. A foul occurs when a ball leaves the bowlers hand passing over the foul line while any body part of the bowler touches the alley, gutters, and division boards beyond the foul line. If a foul is called, the throw is counted against the bowler and any pins that fell with that foul throw will be re-spotted.

Etiquette
- Do not take too much time in your approach. Take a few moments to concentrate but do not take an unnecessarily long time to do so.

- Be ready to bowl when it is your turn to avoid lags in playing.

- Only one bowler can play at a time. The rule of thumb, should there be any contention, is to allow the bowler on the right to go ahead.

- When not in play, stay out of sight and/or seated behind the bowler currently playing. This is to avoid distractions. Heckling and/or making unnecessary sounds at any time during a play is prohibited as well.

You can now hit the lanes with more than just knowing how to knock pins down with a ball. You will develop a healthy dose of sportsmanship as well as patience and consideration for others - and that's always a good thing!

Bowling

I ove to bowl, because I can take my frustration out on the pins, also I love to compete, I may not be good, but I have fun no matter what!

The sport of bowling

Tuck@bowlersalley.org (Tuck) — Sun, 17 May 2009 18:45:21 GMT

I love the sport of bowling. It is not only a team sport, but an individual sport as well. You try to bowl the best you can, not only for yourself, but for your team as well.

I have had the pleasure the past year and a half to be on 4 teams, and have been captain on each team. The league I am on this summer, I am actually President. No biggie tho, there are only 7 teams, lol. It is a summer league, and many people do not bowl in the summer as they want some time off for family trips etc.

Time to vent. When you are on a team, and have to quit for one reason or another, it is common courtesy to let your team captain know. Yes, even if you are mad and don't speak to him/her. It is simply a matter of class.

See ya on the lanes......

Srarting a new League

Tuck@bowlersalley.org (Tuck) — Sat, 02 May 2009 22:46:42 GMT

Ended the Vegas League last week with a 158 average. Started my new league, the Gutter Dusters with a 173 average. I am happy with that. I got a new wrist glove today and it seemed to work to my advantage. Will have to see how it continues to do.

Summer 2009 Leagues

davehertz@bowlersalley.org (davehertz) — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 22:05:57 GMT

I just joined the Sunday Follies mixed adult handicap league which meets Sundays at 6:30pm beginning on May 31, 2009 at Sunrise Lanes in St. Petersburg, Florida. Rumor has it that this league's handicap system is 90% of 220. So according to my calculations, my current scratch average of 105 would equal a league average of 209 with a 104 handicap. If I maintained this average throughout the season, I'd qualify for PBA membership (PBA rules state that an average of at least 200 with a minimum of 36 games qualifies) as well as have an average worth talking about!

Ebonite - Bowl To Win

davehertz@bowlersalley.org (davehertz) — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 20:53:16 GMT

I used my new 12# Ebonite Maxim Captain Midnight ball today exclusively and threw my second highest scratch series (313) to date. It was second only to my "beginner's luck" game back on Day 1. Folks, I think we have a winner!

Two balls are better than one!

davehertz@bowlersalley.org (davehertz) — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 18:57:43 GMT

So I couldn't wait. Tonight, I stopped by Rusty's Pro Shop inside Sunrise Lanes and told Matt the drilling specialist what I wanted. Since he didn't have the exact model in stock, he ordered my 12# Ebonite Maxim Captain Midnight ball and I'll be back in on Saturday, March 7th to be fitted for it. I plan to bowl with it exclusively that day so we'll see how it goes. Given how dry the lanes have been lately, maybe the Ebonite will end up becoming my go-to ball. We shall see....

Sunrise Lanes Galactic Bowling

davehertz@bowlersalley.org (davehertz) — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 21:07:47 GMT

Here's the YouTube link to my first attempt at Galactic Bowling. Luckily for me, I didn't keep track of my pin count that night due to the "imperfect" lane conditions. The lighting was cool and the blaring music rocked the house but I could hardly see my arrow from the 15' line!

Reactive Resin v. Polyester

davehertz@bowlersalley.org (davehertz) — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 11:27:20 GMT

As I posted my open bowling scores, I noticed how my average seemed to decrease the more I used my reactive resin ball. Given that I'm a new bowler, my 12# Columbia 300 Super Trooper appears to be too advanced for me since my hooking ability is still in its infancy. Ironically, every strike that I've made thus far has been with a 12# Brunswick polyester house ball and I actually made four-in-a-row (hambone!) on my first day at Sunrise Lanes. Since leagues should be starting within two months or so, I think that now would be a good time to invest in a quality polyester ball since it's obvious that using reactive resin at this stage in the game would be less than beneficial to increasing my average. Needless to say, I'm planning to visit the Sunrise Lanes pro shop in the coming days to get myself an Ebonite Maxim or something similar. That way come league time, I'll be able to get in touch with my inner Rhino Page. Now that sounds like a plan.

2009 Summer Leagues

davehertz@bowlersalley.org (davehertz) — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 10:48:48 GMT

The good news is that the 2009 summer league season at Sunrise Lanes in St. Petersburg, Florida is scheduled to begin in May. I just found out that league flyers are currently being printed and should be available for signup in the coming weeks. Apparently, there won't be any Saturday slots available (sigh) but Sunday will be an option. Stay tuned!

Nathan bowling in first league

wolfey5472@bowlersalley.org (wolfey5472) — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 10:49:00 GMT

This is me, Nathan. And I am 5 years old bowling in my first league. It is the first time that I have bowled without bumpers and bowled for three games in a row. I had a really good time. I met a lot of good kids in my league and I had a ton of FUN!!

New Ball

Timbo33@bowlersalley.org (Timbo33) — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 18:21:28 GMT

Got me Storm Street Rod..........breaks good on the end. Will have to learn how to shoot spares on the right side...Seems like speed and throwing it flat is the key.

Ball suggestions

Timbo33@bowlersalley.org (Timbo33) — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 22:36:56 GMT

Been out of bowling awhile...I am amazed what the balls do now with the break and the impact on the pins...I need to buy a new ball....any suggestions? I dont want one that breaks all over the lane. I am 56 and do not want to have to handle the big break.
