Timmyb's scores

Another typical week at Lucky Lanes, where we play "what did they put down this week"....

169/211/161 = 541. Another 8 10-pins (missed 4, dammit), bring the 10 week long season total to 60. Also looked at 6 4-pins as well. The general consensus across the league this week was "WTF". It wears on you when you hit shot after shot, with little reward. One guy 2 pairs over left 14 10-pins. The staff has taken to hiding in the back, only coming out to the counter if they need to fix something. I'm hearing the grumbling is taking place in all the other leagues as well. These people just bought the place 2 years ago. Not how you want to run a bowling alley. Average drops back to 207.

At the clinic I attended a week and a half ago one of the other attendees was showing a print out of the oil pattern his local center puts down for one of his leagues to all of the pros. the reaction of all 6 of them, from Packy Hanrahan to Kris Prather was 'WTF is the owner of the lanes trying to do?' I think they all suggested an area where to play it, but thought it was insane to use for a non sport league.

If they are changing the shot every week, and treating this like a sport league, that would be news to all of us. We thought we signed up for a Monday 3-man scratch. Even the league secretary, who's been an absolute apologist for the house, has been bitching. Monday's shot felt more like they just pushed around the shot from the previous league. I had a lot of smears that were super hard to clean off, almost gummy, but not black.
