open bowling
« on: January 05, 2013, 01:43:43 AM »
I had league bowlers come in tonight to open bowl and expected to have the lanes done for them. How many out there agree with them our would your house say your open bowling you deal with whats out there.

This is just my opinion but how can you have good lanes if you dont oil the lanes everyday and reoil them at least once a day...  That is just my thoughts

They are done once a day and Monday through Thursday twice a day they are wood so it is tough shot. The original 16 play different than the newer 8. My house is Thunderbird lanes in manahawkin nj it's not a house youre gonna average 220 in.

My family and I run a 24 lane center and oil the lanes every day no questions asked.  Typically we oil at 4pm before the leagues and 9am on the weekends and again before weekend night leagues.

Have we run the lanes with different patterns for people, sure but it's planned in advance ....if tom dick or harry comes in un-anounced and ask for oil, most likely it will not happen.  Especially on the weekends where you make 90% of your open play dollars.  Now if it's slow and tom calls me up a while before he comes in, I wouldn't have a problem running some lanes for him.

I think for the money it costs to run a few lanes, if it's possible you should oil them.  Dpending on the factors of being busy, etc.

You practise bowl on whatever lane condition u get.. stop sooking! Only time I ever grumble if it is basically desert dry and not oiled for a day or two...

League bowlers know when open bowling is on, esp FRi and Sat nights, forget about it, come back Sun morning..
