I just finished bowling the Pro-am. It was a very frustrating experience. The rabbit squads ran long so they didn't reoil for the pro-am. I bowled the second of 4 pro-am squads. We had what was left of pattern D. There was very little oil. I was lofting the gutter caps with a Storm Football and still had trouble keeping the ball right. It was such a waste of time that several bowlers packed up and left. The Pros were either lofting the guttercaps or using their spare balls up 10 with no hand. They had plenty of spots open for the next 2 squads and no takers.

This is the only tournament I can usually find time for and to have it wasted is really deflating. They have more squads tomorrow. Those will be on a fresh house shot. Guess where all the cashers will come from.

What a disappointment!

Good luck!!
This house has a burnt out track area.(righty) If you have hand play deep and don't let the ball outside 10. If you play straighter use a strong ball up 5. Cash for Me!!!!

I have problems in this house for that reason. The wood is so worn that the ball starts hooking in the heads. I can't believe the pros have to bowl on such a poor surface.
