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.

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.
Post by: omegabowler on March 21, 2004, 09:18:51 PM
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.

Omega, yes they have a Thursday night (9:15pm) Majors at Town and Country, mostly top bowlers from around the Chicago land area.
Rick Wunder, I take it you work for Bill Spigner???? Nice shop and nice lanes, I enjoyed the PBA event this year at Hawthorne.
I will do another post with some questions for everyone.

Illinois is a big and long state so I know Joliet is not REALLY good for the bowlers from southern Illinois but if this thing goes over and we have a good turnout and interest to do it again we can then select other sites. This is not cast in stone as far as a site if everyone would rather move it further south?????????? Open for suggestions.
Anyone interested in helping set this up let me know, who knows what it could grow into. Its all about bowling, meeting new people and having fun.

Bowl at Hawthorn Lanes in Vernon Hills and Brunswick Zone in Deer Park (Lake Zurich).
President of Elgin Association so I'm familiar with most of the west and northwest suburban bowling centers.

On behalf of Bill and Barb Spigner, I thank you for your compliments regarding Hawthorn Lanes.
I worked for Bill until last May, when he sold the shop to assistant pro Brian Chilcutt, for whom I now work. It is now called "Striking Difference Pro Shop," but if you were to come in today, you would not see much of a difference in appearance. Actually, when you attended the PBA event last October, the shop had already changed hands, but you may not have even noticed. BTW, on behalf of Brian, I also thank you for the compliments regarding the shop.
I, too, enjoyed the PBA event last year and I look forward to the tour coming again next year.

The top scratch league is the Thursday Night Majors at Town and Country at 9:15pm. But there are many good mens leagues and some great women bowlers also at T & C. Let me know if you relocate as there are a number of good houses in the area and I will get you the information.
