The house Jorge is bowling in is in a more affluent area. Lots of open play at probably $4 a game. The league probably starts a little later, like 7 or 7:30. They don't want to lose all the revenue by having the lanes sit unused.
Not everyone can get there early enough to practice on their own lanes, get lined up, grooved in, etc. There are some good bowlers in this league. A few Regional Champions, Houston Hall of Famers, Pete McCordic, etc... A number of these guys will KNOW how to burn a hole in the pattern to open it up. The pattern is not Sport, probably a variation on PBA. The owner of the bowl's daughter is married to the guy that does the lanes for the SW PBA. Cary can program their machine or his, he owns 2-3 himself, to put out just about anything imaginable.
Big Man!! They should just change the rule to not allowed to practice on your lanes for the evening and be done with it!! Miss all you guys down there. That is a good league. Smack Everett on the head for me and tell him to shoot me an email!!
