Nope.  Bowled a lot as a kid until about 13 with my grandparents.  I had a 200 game at 12. I haven't done it since then. It was fun.  My friends go as a goof every now and then for cheap beer but Ive not partaken.

It was one of my kinesiology courses in college.  Outside of that, I can only think of a handful of times when I've gone bowling.

You might fool the Mods in the league office, but you don't fool Jesus.

We take the kids bowling once or twice a year.  It's one of the things my wife is much better than me at (and I'm far from bad).  But no, we don't bowl regularly or anything.  I took bowling in High School and was bowling 6-8 games a week for a quarter and was getting pretty good.  Bowled a 220 once.  I rarely break 150 now.

No, "my crowd" has an aversion to that particular pastime. Tongue

I love to bowl, but I haven't been since last March.  I was in a local bowling league all during junior high and high school, but stopped once I went to college.  I even got a small scholarship for my bowling.  My average then was about a 115-120, so not great, but not too bad, either.  Now, it's probably over 120.  Its too late for the Spring leagues and there aren't any summer leagues, but I'm thinking about joining an adult league this fall.

Not for a long while.  I enjoy it, though.  I stopped going because the smoke bothered me.  (That's not an indictment of smokers, it's an indictment of my crappy lungs...which have always been a weakness.)

Now that smoking is not permitted in our city's bowling alleys (for better or worse), I maybe should look into going back. I thought about getting some guys from church and calling ourselves "The Holy Rollers".  But I suspect it's been done before.

How do you get a small scholarship with that kind of average??

My average is in the 175-180 range
