I like the name!!
Yup, welcome to BOWLMOR ownership of AMF. Those changes are happening across the country.
I bet they stopped the youth leagues on Saturday mornings too, huh? That is assuming they had a youth program at all.
The Michael Bowltonz!
He, he! That's our new team name.
We had a great time! Aslan saved the day and rounded out our team!!
They announced some fairly big changes at Carter (AMF.) The main thing is they are cutting their hours waaay back. Some weekdays they won't open until 4pm. The league rewards are still pretty good. Two free games a week and $2.37 a game anytime (up 37 cents.) You can't beat that price in Orange County. Some centers have deals but they start at 9pm. That's almost past my bedtime!
I guess the league prices went up as well. El Cheapo is $10, still a great deal.
They stopped the free practice on Wednesday afternoons, but it was getting a bit ridiculous. 20-30 people from the Pacific Islander League would show up, one guy would sign in, and they would turn it into a free league day.
I'm happy they kept the two free games a week and the league bowlers game prices low!
Go Michael Bowltonz!

At this point...I'm 3x as motivated to improve....just so I can put a sock in the Iceman's cornhole. I have no defense against his mockery as long as I'm bowling in the 116-129 range. But once I'm averaging in the 190s...yeah, then I WILL BE THE ICEMAN...and he will be, "Iceman's Beautiful Assistant".Nothing wrong with being the handicap for the team.
