I remember when I stopped bowling
in the late 80's / early 90's that
when a honor score was shot, the lanes
were checked by abc. I think this
was to insure that the lanes were properly
dressed and not what we called blocked
(heavy oil in the middle, dry on the outside).
Now it seems that just about all houses block
the lanes. The reason is another story (with
pros and cons). My question is: When and how did
this lane blocking become legal and turn into
ths. If this is a worn out subject, please excuse me
but until this year I have been away from the
sport for 15 years or so.
