One of my leagues is a mixed league so the wife and I can bowl together. We have bowled in this league a long time and when I say mixed also means that we have old and young. Most have courtesy on the lanes except for a few who like to rush and make sure they go first. But I will have to say if someone has a string of strikes going they will all stay back until that bowler has his or her shot. Well last night we were on our end pair of our league. We were next to the other league that we share the house with. In the third game I had the front 10 strikes and up for my second strike in the 10th and look out of the corner of my eye to the right and here comes a bowler up on the approach. He looks at me then backs off. I went ahead and threw the ball and leave the 4 pin. I do not blame the bowler by any means. I do blame myself for not going over to the air drier and starting over to clear any distractions that occurred. All I can say is if a bowler is stringing strikes give them lane courtesy and let them have the space that they need and if you are the one stringing strikes make sure you don't let distractions take away a 300 or 800 game from you.

I bowled a stepladder tournament last Saturday. Rule was one lane courtesy. The guy bowling with us had the front ten. The director of the tournament instructed the teams next to us to keep bowling. Would not let the lanes on both sides step down until he finished, as is customary in our house.

The guy missed the 11th, picked up his spare and struck in the 12th.
