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.
