Hi All,

Another new member here. I've just decided to start league bowling again after about ten years away (I was in youth leagues from about 6 or 7 years old, until my mid teens). My league starts in three weeks and I'm psyched to get back into bowling, now that my career and life allow the time for me to do so!

I look forward to getting involved in the many interesting discussions here, as well as learning more and improving my game.

Lots of changes in 10 years, but you are one of many that is returning to the game after an absence. So roll a few, and let us know what you think of today's game and equipment.

By the way, like your screen name. I repair band instruments including brasswinds.

Haha, thanks! I'm a tuba player (obviously), and a public school band director, myself.

Hi Tuba...returned to the game after a 15 year absence from league play myself (and having had heel fractures in the interim). The re-education has been incredible, and I'm even averaging higher now than I did back then (though I'm not sure how much of this is because of me being better and how much is the equipment being better).

Keep us posted on your progress...the "Fall/Winter Leagues 2008" thread is an ideal one to post to. smile
