Bowling Update in newspaper The RCSC Board of Directors recently approved an incremental increase in bowling fees effective September 1, 2013. Bowling fees at both Lakeview and Bell Lanes will increase 15 cents per game to $2.40 for RCSC Cardholders and $2.65 for guests during the peak season. Locker fees will increase to $16 per year. There will be no increase in the cost of shoe rental. Bowling fees in the summer months of May through August will also increase 15 cents per game to $1.90 for RCSC Cardholders and $2.15 for guests. RCSC Bowling Centers have not had a fee increase since 2008 and remain the lowest bowling fees in the West Valley. Open play at most bowling centers in the surrounding metropolitan area is $4.95 per game while bowling fees in Sun City West are $2.40 for their cardholders and $2.90 for guests. “For most bowlers, this increase is minimal. It will end up costing them less than a buck more,” said Randy Johnson, RCSC Bowling Director. Most bowlers typically bowl three games each time they visit a bowling center and during league play. In the last few years, the bowling centers have had a great deal of remodeling and equipment upgrades, all in the best interest of Sun City bowlers. There have been scoring monitor upgrades, new paint, new flooring, required software upgrades, plus a host of other items that needed to be done to keep the RCSC bowling centers “state of the art.” “The RCSC and the Board of Directors desire quality bowling facilities for our Cardholders and guests,” said Carole Martinez, RCSC Board Director and chair of the Bowling Committee. “When an increase was suggested, the board members did all they could to minimize the impact of any additional cost.” Inspections were also recently completed by the United States Bowling Congress (USBC) on all RCSC bowling lanes, approaches, foul lights and pinspotting at both Bowling Centers. A few minor issues were identified and will be resolved before the fall bowling season begins. Both RCSC Bowling Centers (Lakeview Lanes at 10502 West Thunderbird Blvd. and Bell Lanes at 16810 North 99th Ave.) in Sun City also have staff available to discuss private group parties at either facility. Note from pegmih "Do you bowl?"
I haven't bowled since college, and then only because it was a phys ed elective. I'm horrible at it, but do think it's fun if you have a group that doesn't take it too seriously.
