Area bowlers are scoring higher now that we are about two months into the new season. I am a bit surprised that it took this long before a perfect game was recorded in the local area. We still have not had an 800 series to date. The changing weather has also reduced high scoring. The most important factor in my opinion is the positive effect of maintaining consistent lane conditions. New personnel running the equipment as well as bowlers trying out the latest and greatest that the ball companies supply will also take time to improve overall scoring.
Good luck bowling and have fun striking out!
