How many Leagues are you in?

[75lockwood]

So, how many leagues does each of you bowl in a week?

I personally bowl in the YBC youth league on Saturday's, run my teen league Tuesdays, and i'm looking at joining the Friday evening league as well!


Second Question! How many games of practice do you bowl a week? I try to Practice at least twice a week with 3-6 games.

3 sanctioned leagued one Old timer’s league 50 and over, most are over 60, up to mid 80’s! So that would be 4 leagues,,, I practice with Jason/The Dude every Friday from 12:00 to 2:00, then run down to another AMF and bowl with my wife that gets off work a 3 pm and bowl from 3 to 5! She usually get off a little early, and her job is just a mile from the lane! Other than the Thursday night league, ( the dream team, my favorite one is the over 50! I enjoy being and watching some of them women in their mid 80’s throwing the balls, and just having fun!! Most are pretty darn good bowlers!!! Very accurate,,, not much power, but they hit their target most of the time!! lol

[americantrotter]

2 Leagues. One sanctioned league on Friday night and one unsanctioned on tuesday night. The unsanctioned is a Rock N Bowl league so it's a lot of fun with the music and such.

I am getting the NIGHTMARE.. Mike just accidentally keeps saying Terror.

[JaMau24]

I bowl in 3 leagues, and sub in a league on Tuesday. The only days I don't bowl are Monday and Wednesday lol.

[J Anderson]

Normally two, sport on Monday, regular sanctioned league Wednesday. Will be subbing in a third unsanctioned league for the next two months on Thursdays. I try to get an hour of practice in Saturday after the youth leagues are done.

[UBowling]

I bowl in 2 scratch leagues per week. One is a 5 man team league with an average cap of 1030 on a typical house shot. The other is a 4 man scratch league with a sport converted average cap of 795 on three different sport shots throughout the year.

I also bowl at least one tournament per week, this last week was two so I got almost 20 games in during the weekend. I try to practice at least once a week, but my job doesn't always allow for that.

But I tell you what, bowling on the Brunswick Phantom, a 43 foot flat pattern, 1.4:1 ratio, sure does help you bowl better on easier patterns. My teammates are averaging 180 or below on that shot and then over 220 on the house shots.

LOL Nice, an extremely powerful ball, let us know how it does.

as for bill, not much he can do to get an edge from equipment, nothing out hooks the nightmare by the sound of it.

I wish i could practice more after my satuday morning youth league, birthday party's start soon after league so the lanes aren't available.

I doubt anyone will ever consistently bowl better on sport patterns that they do on a THS lol the margin for error is so much smaller on a sport shot.

[noeymc]

sadly only one my work makes it hard to do more

[75lockwood]

That's unfortunate to hear, sleep less bowl more? Lol

[AngeloPD]

i'm only in one league as i just started bowling again

[billf]

I don't need it. I want it but don't need it.

I bowl as a regular in three leagues and sub in others. I'm at the alley on Saturdays from 8:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and most Sundays from 10:00 a.m. to about 4:00 p.m. It's either coaching, leagues or practice so a typical WEEKEND I bowl 60 games plus Monday and Tuesday leagues. When I was out on workers comp I was bowling 30-40 games a day. I deep cleaned my balls weekly then.

[Bizwan65]

1 currently, about to join a second.

WOW..... i just had a brain fart...... i ment MICHAEL!!! LOL my bad

[MICHAEL]

Its not really the ball!! I am convinced of that! It’s the skills, knowledge, athletic ability, and feel for the game! A new and improved ball in the wrong hands does little!! ,Tthat’s a fact! Jason, has some great gifts, and only need’s to work on his emotional side IMHA! Put a good ball in the hands of a knowledgeable skilled bowler, and then the magic of a ball comes out! Not many have THAT magic! Besides me, there are a few Pro’s! I won’t list the dozen or so that fit that category!

Very true, especially the part that puts you on the short list with the best of the pro's :p

Ahh, that would make it tough to get into a league, perhaps you could see if some leagues are looking for subs, you bowl when you can/when they need you.
