Thread: First time for everything...

    Default First time for everything...

    I was bowling in the 9 pin tournament and the lane next to use was having issues. After the tech was back there for 20 minutes they came out to the ball return and opened the panel in the floor. A pin came back in the ball return! I have never seen that happen in all my years...lol.

    I was in a tournament Labor Day weekend and that happened 2 times on different pairs that my friend was on. One time actually had 2 pins make it to the ball return.

    We have that happen around here on a regular basis so
    it's nothing new around here to have 1 or 2 pins stuck
    in the ball return tunnel at any time.

    Just happened last night at my home house. It's a somewhat common thing if you have pins flying around
