Just curious but since I haven't seen any threads, does anyone here bowl?
I myself like to bowl but haven't in a while. Used to be in a league every year.

Bowling used to be my primary non-golf season, but in recent years I've played racquetball instead. I haven't bowled now in several years and haven't bowled regularly in even more years than that.

Bowling still is my primary source of recreation during the non-golf season. I bowl full time on one league and sub on another (bowled full time on both leagues up until this season...may go back to both next season). Averaging around 201 or 202 this season. I'm a better bowler than golfer but enjoy golf soooo much more.

Season:
  • High Game - 281
  • High Series - 691

Career:
  • High Game - 290
  • High Series - 726

Nice scores. My high game is 299 (8 pin

) and series is a little under 700. Haven't bowled in a while tho, want to get going again as it is/was my primary recreational sport before golf.

Alright, I'm not a bowler, but only real bowlers will appreciate this.

I met my wife on a blind date as part of a larger group. Safety in numbers I guess. Anyway, we all went to dinner, then bowling. I bowled in a junior league for one year when I was 15 or so, but hadn't even been in a bowling alley in over 20 years.........

.......I threw a 622 series.

Best I can figure, the short skirt she was wearing gave me a little of extra motivation!

Haven't bowled since either. It could just go downhill from there!

Hey sounds like me. 8 pin has to go and ruin my day. That 299 was 4 years ago and is still my current high game.

I threw a 298 earlier this season. Left a 4-6 on the last ball and that was probably one of the worst shots i have thrown in my life. This has probably been my best league season so far. Threw my high series of 768 (258, 279, 231) and currently averaging 211.

Ya, 299 is the worst game you can bowl imo. Still smarts to this day (~2 years ago). Last shot was Brooklyn by a long shot and surprised I even made 9, hands were shaking like never before. This happened the 2nd game and worst part is I didn't even hit a 700 series because I heaped it in the 3rd game.

I asked for a printout at the end of the game and some pimple-faced kid working the counter grabbed the sheet, looked at it and handed it to me. All he could say was, "299? That sucks!" Not gonna lie, I felt like ripping him a new one at that point.

Unfortunately no, mine wasn't sanctioned.

Long story short, during the first week of my league (which I missed) they decided to not pay the extra $10 per person TOTAL to have it sanctioned!

Ya, from the start we were p*ssed, but stayed in the league anyways...didn't think I'd get close to 300 anyways.

Yea funny that you ask because it is sanctioned and i did not get a ring or anything. it was in a high school tournament and my coach didnt file his paperwork in tmie. For my last 298 (in my league) i believe i get an 11 strikes in a row plaque

Can I ask how you bowled a 281? First 10 strikes and then a 1 spare?

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By imsys0042 · Posted

      I wonder if that is why my home course basically have no stakes now.  Not even markers.  It’s completely up to golfers to remember what is OB and hazard and how things used to be marked.     Even in tournaments, there is no marking and certain areas are played differently by different golfers who either don’t know better or use it to their advantage funny reading thru this with courses that actually have markers

      Electrolytes

      By Elmer · Posted

      Great post, thanks for the informaiton. I try to avoid adding salt to anything I eat. I tend to add pepper on to my meals as opposed to salt. And I am trying to eat as clean on possible. On golf day, I eat 3 eggs for breakfast (pepper NO salt) and a salad for lunch, with grilled chicken thigs (pepper, garlic, no salt). I have been trying to avoid processed food, but we all slip. I also should have mentioned that the electrolyte packet calls for mixing with 16 oz of water, however I mix in 32 oz of water, so I dilute the electrolyte powder.

      LIV Golf Now Closed?

      By imsys0042 · Posted

      So if I read the news correctly, the PIF will not fund LIV after this season.  LIV is trying to find new funding and a number of players there are now asking about getting back to the Tour.    I am very, very concerned that Taylor Gooch will not have a place where he can make a jackass out of himself soon
