Yeah, it was getting to the point that they should have named the tournament after him.

 Also it will very from lane to lane, and you switch lanes every game, and NO PRACTICE SHOTS.

Bowled Saturday at noon and the shot was nothing like it has been in the past 2-3 years.  Usually flooded everywhere and the ball barely moves but not this year.  They were dryer than a 530 squad the last weekend.

I would save your money on this one this year!!

That bad, eh?  They don't have the standings up dated yet.  I bowl there in leagues, 5 minutes from my home, so I might check it out....  What's $25???  Any body already know their time block & date?  Maybe I'll stop by if we don't have any travel softball or basketball games scheduled....

That is why I try and bowl this every year cause I am 2 mins from the bowling alley but I brought a lot of sanded equip thinking it would be like years past and the No Mercy at 500 tried to hook before getting to the arrows.

Saw 1 guy shoot 300 the first game on the pair to the right of me and then just struggle for the next 2 games

It's been weird in leagues there too, this year.  3 or 4 nights just as dry as the Sahara.  Then out of the blue, they flood em...  Then the following week it's light-medium oil almost from gutter to gutter, then it's back to dry & it starts all over again.... Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, it's just that I would have carried more balls for the different situations had I known it was gonna be like that.  Everyone has struggled this year, not just me & my team.

Well it must be all the houses in the area because I bowl in Roselle at the Brunswick Zone and I am struggling to ave 190 and it is the same thing you said that most of the time it is dry and then you get a shot and then it is gone again the next week.

I just thought I would be fine for the 9 pin because of the flood normally out there at noon that I could shoot OK but that was not the case.

Good luck when you go and shoot and hopefully it was just this first day that was like this.  I normally will go bowl it again but I don't think that I am going to again this year.

I used to bowl at the Roselle Brunswick & when it was called Lakeside.  In the Thursday Night Mens Industrials.  I sort of miss that league.
