Somebody else took aim

Our bowling league was called off early this year because of the virus crisis. It would have ended this month. I had written this post before the cancellation. I found it interesting to find a photographer using our Thursday Night Men’s League at Bowling Green as her focus. Roland behind the desk told us on…

Feeling a little smaller about the weekly bowling league

I’ve read the stories about the incredibly shrinking interest in bowling around my part of the world. Family-owned bowling centers have been closing. The number of bowlers registered to the national organization that tracks us is steadily shrinking. The sky is falling on a sport that I’ve held close to my heart since the days…

Heading to the home stretch on the bowling lanes

We’re coming down to the final few weeks in the Thursday Night Men’s League at Bowling Green. And when we reported for action a week ago, our Limp Lizard squad stood in fourth place out of the 12 squads. I could hardly believe it. Then we went out and lost our first two games to…

Some days on the lanes you really don’t have it

I remember again why I only bowl in The Post-Standard Masters tournament every, oh, four or five years. My Limp Lizard teammate Steve Vicik and I signed up for the hundreds-of-bowlers in four sessions tourney again this year. We rolled at Strike N Spare Lanes in Mattydale, N.Y., at the 9 a.m. session Sunday morning.…

This time Steve goes big

Two weeks in a row, Limp Lizard swept all seven points in the Thursday Night Men’s League at Bowling Green in North Syracuse. Two weeks in a row, one of my teammates rolled an amazing series. This time around, Steve threw a 246-221-247-714, following Tiny’s fantastic 742 of the prior week. And the three-game total…
