I paid a visit to the lanes last night to see if anyone I knew was still in the Tuesday night His & Hers Mixed League, which I once bowled in. There were not many familiar faces, but the man I knew as the league secretary when I bowled in the league, Dave Townson, was still there. He told me that there were not many of the “old faces” in the summer league (which was going on), but that I’d still know a few of the people in the winter version of the league. He told me league dues for the league were $17/week, so my first league back from my long layoff may be in my old league.
We also talked some about current lane conditions, and he told me that the line I ended up using in my bowling outing with my brother (about 5th board on the approach to first arrow on the lane) was actually a good shot for the lane conditions I’ll see. If I stick with my old ball and use that shot full-time, I’ll need to practice making my left spares, as I can’t move much more to the right on the approach. I may end up moving my spot left instead of my starting position on the approach right when shooting those spares.
