The White Pattern and my Son's Mother In-Law

Hey Iceman,

What tournament was this I bowl pretty much every tournament around here and I cant remember them putting up a white pattern

Greater Tulsa Open

That really felt like the normal house shot to me.

Dont know, tournament director told me it was the White pattern they were putting down. I asked when I was at Andy B's for the team event.

Keep in mind that it is a pattern that the house could use as their typical pattern, so it may be at the house you bowl in. I think there are a few houses in our area still laying the white pattern as their THS.

Also keep in mind that no two patterns are 100% alike. Not only are there three different "White" patterns, but they are also being put down by different oil machines, on different lanes, in different climates.

My Friday senior league bowls on USBC Blue

SO many FRICKEN Patterns!!!!!!!! And,,,,,and,,,, they are all house patterns, not Sports!!!!!!! LOL,,,, I know I am pretty damn new to this GREAT GAME OF BOWLING, but I think in league play they should vary the house pattern each and every week!

Iceman KNOWS FORM EXPERIENCE WITH THE WHITE pattern in my pre bowling last week, that its a whole NEW GAME on different HOUSE patterns. SURE,,,, sure its great to have a 200 plus average on league, but its like playing miniature golf, compared to the REAL DEAL.

I am not saying that the standard house patterns around here at the AMF are easy, but they are to a certain degree very predictable, and thus much easier then they should be. Hey, I am 65 and bowled two 300's not long ago LOL

THAT'S NOT RIGHT!!! LOL LOL,,, (

If they made it a rule that the house pattern has to change each week from one variation of the HOUSE PATTERN to the next, it would develop a HIGHER degree of skill in all us bowlers, and just maybe help prepare us for the Big Boy Sports Patterns!

I know my average would suffer for a while, but then just maybe the knowledge, and adjustment skills might make Iceman a better bowler in the end!

I am all about a good challenge,,, Jason/Dude you have proven to me that your UP to that challenge,,,, GREAT BOWLING MY FRIEND on the White pattern!

Jason you should post your USBC number for all to ADMIRE!!! It's hard for me to keep up with your accomplishments!!! You are the Real Deal!! Post in in your signature, and be proud of your accomplishments!!

Hey Iceman,
If you need another partner this summer let me know..

I think it would be a BLAST to bowl with You and Mary! Maybe we could find a four person league that requires women. Both our wifes bowl Super compared to many average women! LOL

Bowling should Always be about Having FUN!! It think we could have a Great time bowling together!

You might even say a COOL BLAST........ Iceman

While I would welcome this change. How many do you think would not want to bowl because of this. This is the problem we see every summer when trying to build up more interest for our sports leagues. Everyone says they want to but when the time comes they wont because the shot is to hard, and they would rather have the easier predictable shot and the over inflated averages that come with them then actually having to think about what they are doing.
