Illinois Bowlers
« on: March 20, 2004, 10:49:02 PM »
Would like to find out how many of you are from Illinois.  Like some of the other states, would be nice to get a group together at a central location to bowl and get to know each other. I am from the Joliet area.

WHERE IS EVERYONE FROM ILLINIOS FROM?????

I not sure. I was -191. which 200 pins better than the last time. I still need to nail down my form because those lanes have no mercy!

last month I had about 2 boards of area before a split or washout would happen. the midlane was not so tight so the backend open up  a little. I would say I had about 4 - 6 boards. but speed control was key because if you missed left I saw a lot of 2,4,10's three by me alone!

I will be Willowbrook next Sunday mourning. 9:00am
fresh oil, heavy, 2 bucks a game!

I have a three ball visionary bag roller with me. 5-10  and fat. Buzz short hair and glasses. throwing Track stuff. come on up.

Bob H.  Yes I bowl at Town and Country on monday nights 1st league.  If you bowl the second one are you bowling with Tom Hinz and Chris Regas.  They drill all my stuff along with Brian Hirner.  Chris Regas just did a post on the Fear Factor (cregas).  Yes he should like it, two 300 games and a 855 series, not bad for a 20n year old.  He will be shooting Regionals next year.  If we can get enough people together from Illinois maybe we can schedule a day of bowling and getting to know each other.  

Omega, yes the 8 game marathon makes you a better bowler, not an easy shot but many good shooters.  Definitely makes a normal league shot seem easy.  

TO ALL ILLINOIS BOWLERS, KEEP THE POST GOING AND WE WILL SEE IF WE CAN SET A DATE FOR SOME FUN.

the shot was not impossible today by any means. but it's not a typical League shot. I was close enough that on a THS I would have shot + 200 easy. To many splits by missing 2 boards right within the first 30 feet. It will make you a better bowler thats for sure.

I'm told they have a late Thursday or Tuesday league that has a tough shot. I would like to bowl on that. If I can avg 200 + on  a tougher shot, I would feel better about avg 200.

right now I avg 200 and I not that good. I throw about 1 out of 3 ball right I know on a tough shot I could get up 200 after a year or so.

Well, I have only bowled 3 marathons, but the condition really isn't that tough. Last time I bowled a top gun tournament, that made the 8 gamer look silly easy. Woody is just so brutal with his patterns.


Anyways, I bowl up at Bowling Green on Monday nights, and I think until I leave for Reno, I will be up at Fox Bowl working on the ABC shot.

Can't miss me. Little bald guy with too much attitude, and am also throwing Track stuff. Come watch Nape, Moores, and Sammy the mechanic make fun of me.

Would that happen to be Mike BIGUN Nape?  Looks like you have some very tough competition in that area.

I'm from Alton, Il, could probably think up a good enough excuse to get up there.

I'm from the Southwest Side of Chicago, and now live out in Orland Park.  I think it would be great to organize an event if we can get enough people together.
