I haven't played much golf lately...........   my 14 yr old son bowls tourneys and I've been spending my weekends watching him compete.  He's 14 and bowls against kids 20 and under in the top scratch division.  Big underdog..... he's already won a couple tourneys....

Wanna see how a 14yr old beats 20yr olds?

So proud of him.....he has no fear and competes hard.   Proud dad......he is a little guy, but I promise you......you don't want to bowl him head to head....he's a beast.   When he was little, he showed crazy good golf skills, but he somehow transitioned to bowling.  LONG STORY............LOL...he's good at it though.   He had good golf talent too......I hope to someday get him back into golf.

At one time, I was a scratch golfer....my son got me started bowling and I got to a 215 average.................he's already passed me up bowling...he kills it.  As a dad, I don't let him win, but he does what he does....HE killis it.. very happy for him.   He has the kind of talent..... I am sure he could be a scratch golfer of he gave it half effort, but he likes to bowl.   When he was little....oh boy......he could hit the golf ball!! I will get him back......he can play!!

I rarely get to open bowl with my son because he is Tourney bowling every week.   Last weekend.................we got to open bowl.  We bowled a 10 game set....................he averaged 252...............a high water mark for him so far.   He was KILLING IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!  77% strikes...22% spares.................he had 1 open frame in 10 games!............. 1 split open.....(big4)........do the math.  He Killed it...........LOL

It was fun to watch......   I averaged 209 and felt like a total chump........LOL

Two-handed bowler I see. It's been a long time for me since I bowled regularly. Is that how they are teaching the kids or did your son just sort of work that out himself?

He'll correct me if I'm wrong, but the two-handed thing has been gaining steam for awhile, and it's particularly attractive to juniors as they can throw heavier balls but still generate a LOT of spin.

It has been around for awhile, I remember seeing a PBA Tour player doing it years ago. I never tried it myself.

Yep, it's pretty common now.  It's almost rare to see a bowling final without at least one two-handed roller involved these days.

Interestingly enough, 4-5 years ago when Belmo was just starting to break through there was a little pushback from the announcers.  I would liken it to the opinion many had of anchored putting around the same time - it just didn't "look right" to some.  But they don't seem bothered by it anymore.

Unlike skiing (wink wink) but much more like golf, there is no one "right way" to bowl, so I think each coach is going to teach what they know best.  I'd guess that the kids work out for themselves that they prefer one or two hands and then find a coach to accommodate that.

One, two, (or three hands) a 252 average over the course of ten games is crazy good.

No question, but I'd call shenanigans on three-handed.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.

      I have access to far more data (including surveys and polls) than you do with your anecdotes. I mean this as plainly and literally as possible: you’ve demonstrated that you do not. They would, one way or the other.
