Make A Bowling Lane – Bowl At Home

There is always a way to practice, no matter the situation! Whether you are a beginner or a professional, having to stay indoors does not mean we have to stop bowling. Drills are key to working on the fundamentals of the sport of bowling. Make sure to protect your surroundings!

We are so very excited and cannot wait.Today I will be going through the The House Shot League Rules and Conditions:Which will also be posted in written form on the Orange Facebook page. Firstly and most importantly, we are playing for THE LOVE of the game. Also to have the bragging rights to being crowned the first ever Orange Tenpin Bowl "The House Shot" League Champions.To register in "The House Shot" League you will need to like the ‘The House Shot’ Page The House Shot you will need to join ‘The House Shot CLOSED Group’ The House ShotThis House Shot CLOSED Group is where you will register your team and post your weekly scores.The House Shot is a doubles league that will be starting on the 20th April 2020 and finishing on the 11th May 2020. The winners will be the team with the highest scratch total pinfall after the 4 weeks. To participate you will need the following:- a plastic bowling set (10 pins and a ball) the pins can be any size as long as the ball is part of the set OR – 10 x 1.25L empty plastic bottles and a full sized soccer ball OR – 10 x 600mL empty plastic bottles and a tennis ball.The pins will need to be set up 1 pin width apart, starting with the number 1 pin. The lane length from the 1 pin to the foul line needs to be 4 metres long and 1 metre wide. we suggest to use masking tape for the foul line and the sides of the lanes (1 metre apart) unless you have walls (eg, in a hallway). Or you are more than welcome to design your own lane to these specifications. We wont be strict on this, just make it as fair as possible.Scoring:- We suggest using this free online www.bowlinggenius.com as a bowling calculator to score for you. Or you are welcome to use any bowling score app you may already have.- Your scores will need to be either screenshotted and uploaded to The House Shot groupOR- You can post you individual 2 game scores as a text to The House Shot Group.- Whichever way you decide to give us your weekly scores make sure you include your Team Name and Players Names along side your scores every time you post.Please remember this is all about the fun interaction with our bowling family. – Please feel free to take videos and photos and post them on this The House Shot Page. The House Shot- You may also wish to set up a weekly bowling date and interact with other households by doing facetime, Zoom and video chat etc, this will make it even more fun.The following rules will apply:- Honour system: no cheating even if it is mucking around.- Each bowler will bowl 2 games each- All bowling rules apply, scoring will be as per normal games.- The deck has to be cleared of knocked over pins in between 1st and 2nd balls. And the pins reset to a full set of pins after every frame. – You can choose to bowl the game with rotating bowlers frame by frame like normal league or bowl a full game out per person while the other person resets pins for the entire game. Then move to the second game.- No ball rebounds from walls, rebounds will be classed as a gutter ball as well as if the ball rolls over the side lines which will be deemed as a gutter ball.- Pins bouncing off walls will be deemed as messengers.- If a standing pin is knocked over while the deck is being cleared of knocked over pins the pin or pins are to be re-stood and re-spotted.If there are any questions or problems please post to this page.We look forward to bowling with you in the first ever The House Shot League.NOTE: The Admins may need to change or add rules if need be.

More than two years ago, for reasons I've long since forgotten, I decided to build a partial bowling lane in my basement. After countless failures, redesigns, and rebuilds, it is finally operational.So that you might feel better about how you've chosen to spend your last two years of free time, please enjoy this short clip of a man pretending to bowl in his basement!
