This Thursday , the 12th of September, will be our 1st meeting of the season. It will be held at Babylon Lanes at 6:00 pm.
Anyone who is interested in participating should come down. We will be bowling after the meeting.
This should be another enjoyable year !
As we get ready for the new bowling season:
- Besides Bowlympics, think about joining a scholarship league.
(Monday nights 6:30 at Babylon is good one, and only costs $15, $9 of which goes into the scholarship fund. And every kid gets scholarship money.)
- Get your bowling balls checked. Grips wear, and the span of your hand may have changed. Think about having your pro shop professionally clean/resurface your bowling ball.
- Maybe it's time for a new ball, or maybe add a ball that will react differently for different lane conditions. One good way to find a new ball is to go to a "demo day", which let's you "try before you buy". Check with your pro shop to see if they will be sponsoring one. Here is an example of an upcoming local "demo day"

This demo day is for Storm bowling balls. There will also be one for the Ebonite line (Ebonite, Columbia, Hammer and Track) on November 3rd.
- For the younger/newer bowlers, I will soon have Ebonite Cyclone balls for you to try for free. This is a great reactive starter/secondary ball, complete with a weight block in lower weighted balls. I personally use one, and find it terrific on a typical house shot.
There is new ownership at AMF. Yes, there will be some changes made in how they operate. Unfortunately, rumors often get spread, that are not based in truth.
Here are the facts:
Bowlympics will continue as always, as will high school bowling.
There will still be youth leagues! There are some minor youth league changes. For example, the Friday scholarship league is now a Monday scholarship league. Our Thursday practice league remains the same.
Adult leagues will also remain in all of the original AMF houses. Some leagues may have to change days in a handful of centers in the future.
Time will tell what the new Bowlmor AMF is going to be like.
