After much hemming and hawing I decided to grow a... spine and sign up for my local PBA Experience League. I finished up league night last night with a season high game of 213 and I was flush with overconfidence. What the heck, I'm sure I'll have fun, and it will be interesting to see some of the better bowlers in the area go to work on the PBA patterns.

At the one center I bowl at, there will be 3 PBA leagues over the summer (adult, juniors and adult/junior) and at least one, and up to three PBA leagues next year.

They need to get something like that by me. Every place by me is too worried about everyone's ego.

It seems the good start to sign up for this league was the total sign up. All who signed up the first night is all the house got. The house pro will hold the sign up open for a while, and he is going around to all of the teams during league to drum up support. He has asked that those who have signed up try to get others to do so.

We entered a 3-man team. He asked us to break up and each get 2 more bowlers. We may do that just to bowl.

He has now also added a ball purchase to induce bowlers. Buy a Brunswick ball at the House price. $75+- is the estimate for a new Fury.

Hope this flies.
