The problem is when the g/f's , wives and/or kids aren't aware of other bowlers expectations, and basically how to behave in a venue other than their own home..
As a bowler, I expect to be able to grab a seat, put my equipment, where I can easily get to it, and not have to dodge kids running out madly and screaming out..It's not too much to expect..
Most, if not all problems can be sorted out by your league president at beginning of season, address this right at the beginning. If needed, have this issue brought up later in season if the problems persist..
Most people are genuinely unaware, or are too ignorant and thoughtless to ponder their own actions, and what effect this causes other bowlers..Sometimes they need to be enlightened, if they take it badly,or their bowler husband is offended, then sadly it is a poor reflection on them..
What about the youngish early to mid 20's HOTTIE, who wear a backless short top during summer, and u can see many bowlers are being pleasantly distracted. I sure know I am.. HMMM, I wonder if she wears it for this very purpose..Seriosuly all of a sudden I'm about to get up on the approach, and then I see her in her top and short shorts, I then proceed to make an average shot...
Either way, its all good. Giddiup.
