I was secretary/treasurer of our bowling association for a couple of years in the early 70's and remember crawling down each lane of each center in our association, measuring the tilt, nicks and gouges in the lane. Filled out a detailed report on each center and mailed it to the ABC so the center could get their certification for the upcoming season. More fun! Got offered a couple of bribes, too.
Even fingertip grips were cause for comments from some.
