Here is a something hopefully to stir up some comments. Last night I went to do some practice at my usual house. Prices are a little stiff (8.25) for 3 games, and that is the league discount. Regular price is 8.75 (big savings, I know)
Anyways after throwing my first ball, it was obvious the lanes were in complete neglect of any sort of shot. My ball hooked side to side, and off the lane. I was playing in deep with my plastic and still having problems taming that ball! It was a complete joke and not even decent spare practice like they usually are even after leagues. Im not talking normal dry, it was just awful. Worst lanes I've ever bowled on, save the one time they stripped the lane but forgot to re-oil. (Which the house rectified very quickly)
As I was thinking about it later, I was wondering out loud if bowling alley's should give you a discount on open bowling after leagues or when the lanes haven't been maintained in awhile. Before anyone tears me up, keep in mind in golf they do indeed give you discounts if the course is too wet or if its raining. I think the same should apply in bowling and may draw some interest from league bowlers sticking around later or the late night open bowlers. Any thoughts?
