How many times?????
« on: April 21, 2009, 04:36:59 PM »
Hi All! How often do you guys go a practice you're bowling?  I bowl once a week but I don't go and practice.  This summer season I'm going to try to go once a week. The last 3 weeks before the end of our winter league my bowling just flat out sucked!  Thanks for the reply!!!

At the moment, twice a week, and about 15-20 games each time. I have a friend that works at the Brunswick Zone, so I bowl for an hour at the cost of $3.00.

Couple months ago I switched to a two handed style, and saw an increase in average. So, I'll most likely be throwing in an extra day of practice so I can get the style down.

2 leagues and at one point about 75 games a week...now down to about 25 (because of school and lack of $$$. Thanks, economy.).

Plus at least 1 tournament per weekend.

1 x league
1 x practice (6-7 games), usually working on my spare for the first 3-4 games and then 'try' to score properly in the last 3-4 games.

Bowling is an expansive hobby unfortunately.

1 league no practice. Unless you count 10 minutes before league starts.

I try to play at least once a week, twice if possible, but the job makes it hard to realize.

League is just in winter season around here on 9 week ends. I tried to "manage" house leagues as extra training, but I cannot keep up with the schedules due to my dire working times so I quit.

As a compensation, I have been taking part in some non-official weekend tournaments last season.

One league night  on Thursday and practice on Monday ($10 all you can bowl) and Saturday (usually with a $0.99 cent a game coupon).

If I can get a decent paying job after the economy improves, I'll go back to  three leagues a week.

Used to bowl 1 league, a PBAX youth sweeper every week and 60-100 games of practice every week(the one house I have yet to get a dry shot from usually they put out pretty heavy oil and I can practice on it for 10 bucks for 2.5hrs. I now go once a week at most to practice, + bowl once or twice 4 games for a dollar each with my dad at another house and no longer play league.

Around 50 to 70 games a week, plus 4 leagues, and tournaments. I work at the bowling center I bowl at, so I get free bowling.

Of course, I can't pass that up.

During the summer I practice a bit more.  The league I bowl during the summer offers league bowlers $.50 games of open bowling during the summer, so it doesn't get as expensive to go and bowl 6-8 games and work on things.
