    Default Who is opening bowling tonight!?

    I am going to AYCB at 9PM tonight. I can usually get 9 games into a 3 hour span. Going to be my first time AYCB with my new ball. So far I have bowled bout 15 games across the span of 4 days playing with family. Wish me luck!

    There is this house about 5 minutes down the street that offer $1 a game bowling between the hours of 9pm and midnight on Sunday through Thursday. It is fun. I have my mom and wife with me so that gives me a chance to rest between frames. Usually the lanes are burnt out from the league before it so it is a bit challenging.

    None of the alleys have good deals. My practice lanes that are close by offer $1.50 a game between 9am-1pm on Sundays, otherwise it's $3.75 a game 9-5 during the week and $4.25 the rest of the time. Another lanes nearby is only $2 a game before 5pm during the week, but they don't oil their lanes until evening and most of the time it's been dry so I see no point of practicing. All other lanes are at least 30 minutes away so I don't go that far just for practice.

    If I knew of a place that did $1 games, I'd probably hang out all night and bowl around 10 games.

    I'm spoiled. I can lay down any pattern in the Kegel library as long as they have a lane open.

    I'd be happy if they'd just oil one lane with a THS for me. I don't know. I've never asked them and I don't bowl at the place enough that I'd feel justified asking. Though I'd go daily if they did it for me.

    I have never asked a house to lay a pattern down.

    At our local alley, the games are $1.75 if you're in a league. Even my senior league counts.
