Tuesdays for me at $18 per week

Both in separate houses.
I remember going bowling for a few weeks in Phys Education in high school. Goal was really not to learn to bowl but the keep score manually. This was in the early 90's in Oregon.

Monday league = $12 synthetic
thursday = $20 wood lanes
$32 a week not bad
Not sure yet...season here isn't quite over yet. Still have a few more weeks to go.
But, the plans are to do 2 leagues (as I usually do).
I think I'll stay at the AMF house for one more season (even though it's an easier pattern and is inflating my average...bad news for tournaments). I tried to get my old work team back together to join that league, but thus far minimal interest. But that's a Wednesday night league, $22 a week Vegas Sweeper.
I will also be doing my first league at a private center that is about a 1.5 minute walk from my apartment. I am moving from my home center to this new location mostly because it makes no sense to drive an extra 10-25 minutes when I can just take a 2 minute walk to and from the bowling alley. Not sure which league I'll join or how much it costs. Right now I'm leaning towards their Monday evening league...I don't think it's a sweeper league...so it likely won't be quite as expensive.
I'm debating whether or not I want to sub. If I'm bowing Monday and Wednesday...given that I live so close to the bowling alley...I could almost sub on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays...whenever I don't have anything else going on. At the same time, sometimes you need a break to re-charge...practice things, etc...never been a big fan of subbing unless it's as a 6th man.

Smokey this is not 'Nam', this is bowling. There are rules. Proud two-time winner of a bowlingboards.com weekly ball give-away!
Ice,
I'll get some photos once my league starts. I do have a video of myself there, it was the first day wearing new shoes, so it wasn't my normal form. Normally I'm lower at the foul line, but I wasn't use to the sliding with the new shoes at this point of the video being shot.

Definitely feel like I need to move west if I want to bowl in a league for a reasonable price. Been bowling in two for the past two years and will be bowling two again this year. Gone up a dollar every year and now I'll be paying a nice 26 on Tuesday and 25 on Wednesday, damn rising lineage!
Our center's lineage is $10.50/bowler and has been for the last four years. 12 lane wood house, family owned.
Sunday Morning Trio with the center owner and his son $13
Monday Minors (Mens hdcp) $14
Tuesday Majors (Mens scratch) $13
Wednesday I work the women's league
Friday sub when not working the Fri Nite Fun league
Saturday Jrs. this year I will have three grandkids in this league $8 each. Center has ball raffles to cover sanction costs
Saturday Bumper club One granddaughter. She wants a ball so $12 (just to bowl is $8)
I'm not bowling either of the adult Saturday or Sunday Family leagues this year. Six leagues was too much last year with other obligations (like coaching the high school team, private lessons and my JOB)
PS Michael as I age I become more envious of your retired status.
