Bowler-2-Bowler blog post: USBC Dues

[J Anderson]

Jay, are you trying to make us all feel better by those deflated averages you have on? Or are those left-handed?

Strike Domination is right, this is John, not Jay, although I do tend to answer to almost anything.
The 163 is Left-handed. The sport average is right-handed, and several pins lower right now.

How often do you bowl left handed? I've been bowling left handed just for kicks working on my game lately, just a few games here and there. It feels like im starting all over again, it's kind of fun!

Anyway I hope to bowl a lefty 300 some day, that'd be cool being able to say I've done it with both hands, not at the same time like Belmo.

The national dues are only $10. Any extra amount comes from whatever your state and local association charges. If you pay $21 (for example), $10 of that goes to USBC and the other $11 goes to your local and/or state association for fees. I hope that helps, and on my blog post I am only talking about the USBC dues, not whatever local associations charge. Thanks!

The last two fall seasons I've been bowling left-handed in my Wednesday night church league. The first season I was getting at least 3-4 practice games in every other week or so in addition to league, plus a few trips out to Long Island to get some coaching from my friend Jeff. Last season I probably didn't get quite as much practice in. What's really fun is to switch hands every frame in practice and see the reaction from people walking by and noticing you throwing with either hand.
I'm still working on getting any 300, right or left.

I'd like to your take on local/State Assn dues.
