Granted, it's better than it was in the days of flat oil patterns and rubber balls, but even though the lanes now funnel my ball to the pocket for me, I still don't strike every time. This upsets me, because I'm not spending my hard earned money to shoot at single pin spares all night! For my $20 a week, I think I deserve to shoot several honor scores every year and receive all the awards and prestige that come with them!
Therefore, I propose that the USBC change the rules and have the back row of pins REMOVED from the rack. The 7, 8, 9, and 10 pin should no longer be set so the average league bowler can shoot more high scores and have more fun bowling! This will surely bring more bowlers to the game, as shooting big scores and bragging to everyone about how good you are is what makes bowling enjoyable and keeps people coming back for more!
I hope the USBC is listening, because me and a bunch of bowlers I know are ready to quit if bowling remains to be an unfairly difficult game that doesn't equally reward all participants with honor scores.
If you would like to add your name to this petition, just print a copy of this post, sign your name at the bottom with your USBC membership number, and mail it to USBC. Remember, there is strength in numbers, WE CAN MAKE THIS HAPPEN!
Our goal is for every bowler, on every lane across America, to shoot 300 every time they bowl! Bowling is not about rewarding those who practice or are naturally better than everyone else. Bowling is about EVERYBODY WINNING all the time! Just think how much better and more fun bowling will be when everybody always wins and nobody ever loses!
