Bowlmor, I shall not return
« on: November 07, 2016, 12:20:10 PM »
I've been bowling at LandPark Lanes in Sacramento, Ca for about 10 years or so. I'm getting tired of lanes breaking down every freak'n week. I bowl second shift and we never ever bowl on time. Either slow bowlers before us, or lanes break down which is happening more often. The worst part, one mechanic is on duty and if he's on lunch break, we wait a long time to get service.

When multiple lanes breaks down, or need a re-spot, or whatever it may be, we wait. We wait, we wait, we wait, and wait..... I'm just getting tired of it. It's not even half the season and I fell like leaving. But, my teammate are important to me so I'll stick it out.

I may suggest we move the league else where, but if they don't plan to move, then I'll look into going to another house and league.

Come on, didn't you guys know this is all USBC's fault??  :o ??? ;D

"Milo",
If you went thru what I did with these Bowlmor situations in 2 completely different houses in 2 different areas, this wouldn't be a joking matter. Bowlmor is f*cking with league bowling in MAJOR way, here in NJ and with bowlers in XrayJay's area.

I'm in XRayJay's area and have bowled at LandPark many times. The place has always been kind of a dump, even before Bowlmor. Bowling in the Sac area has gone down hill and there were houses like AMF Alpine that closed down before Bowlmor took over. If I remember correctly, AMF Crestview closed before Bowlmor as well.

Two different weekends in October, I bowled a tournament at AMF Rocklin and it's a very nice place. Same owners, different management.

Crestview wasn't an AMF house. Mr. Hoseapple no longer wanted to have the bowling alley and he didn't want to give it to his son so he sold the property.

Your team would be welcomed  at AMF Rocklin on Thursday nites. We have 28 teams and should fill the house next year.

If it's a second shift league, I'd look into it. We all know rush hour traffic on 80 east is a challenge coming from Elk Grove...

No second shift league. You should come out on a thursday and check it out.

Bowl (last 25 yrs) at a AMF House in CT, bowlMor has done nothing but drive out every serious bowler that bowled in the place. It plain sucks, painted the entire place black so they can cater to their open bowling turn off the lights and over charge the suckers. This will be my last season bowling in the dump....
