I remember seeing Manhattan Rubber ball being used.
I remember when no one ever talked about the lane oil.
I remember over the top returns? Didn't seem to me that they got in the way on 10 pins.
I remember and still miss keeping score with a grease pencil.
I seem to recall that only the approaches, heads, and pin deck were maple, from the arrows to the pin deck was pine.
I remember when one bowling ball was enough. And it would last a casual league bowler for decades.
I don't remember when soaking bowling balls at all back in the day.
I don't remember seeing an All Spare patch or a 300 ring/patch?
Remember when some houses gave a new car for a sanctioned 300? no.
Remember the Ebonite Open at Saragota Lanes, when all 16 PBA finalists were left-handed? No.
Remember bringing your bowling ball in an ice chest to pass the durometer test? Never competed at the level where mine had to be tested.
Am I dating myself? Yes!
