    I used to bowl when I was younger. Was pretty decent for a while too. A couple third and fourth place finishes at state.....I have a ton of trophies around here somewhere. But I probably haven't been in 4 or 5 years. I'd probably be lucky to break a hundred.

    i had to bowl left handed for a while after i broke my femur cause i couldn't plant on my left leg. towards the end of that experiment i was averaging about 160s. we used to bowl around 10 games a week. i have only bowled like 10 games in the last 4-5 months now

    I bowled in a league for about four years. Was never great, but had fun. I finally stopped, because I am not a smoker and I got tired of coming home reaking of smoke.

    I also bowled left handed for over two months after breaking my right wrist. I never got up to 160, but then again, I wasn't even averaging 160 right handed

    I had another stretch where I had surgery on my left wrist and couldn't use it to pickup or balance the ball during approach.

    One of these days I would like to start up again. I think the local bowling alley is now non-smoking.

    Ironically, the best I ever bowled in a tournament was when I'd injured my right wrist on the first throw of the first game. I just had learned my curve ball a few months before, so I just reverted back. Immobilized that sucka, and threw as hard as I could. Ended up 50 pts above average when the tourney was done (not enough to compensate for my team or partner but enough to take 3rd in handicap, 4th in overall for my age group). But after that weekend, I couldn't bowl for a few weeks. It HURT.

    Trying to bowl with a cast on the other wrist is annoying as well. I can sympathize, Tned. One wouldn't think it would make that much of a difference but it does.

    Man, I'm jonesin' now. Thanks guys.

    Last year on a work cruise (yea, it really is work ), we were on a boat with four lanes and we bowled a couple nights. I bowled like crap, I didn't have my ball (a finger tip ball) and had to bowl with a normal drilled bowl, which I hadn't done in ages. But, it got me wanting to bowl again.

    I also experienced drinking and bowling for the first time. Living in a mostly dry state, unless you hide a bottle in a locker (which quite a few do), you can't just have a few beers while you bowl. It's even more fun with beer.

    Just finishing up league this season (2 weeks left)...

    High game this year for me was 259....I carry 170 avg..almost bowled my first 700 series a few weeks ago. It's a love/hate game for me. I'm so inconsistent it's not funny. Bowling high 200's one week and then next week I'll bowl a 400 series..

    Two of the guys who bowl on my team rolled 300 games this year...they are junior pros avg. over 200.

    IMO, winter leagues go waayyyy too long...6 to 7 months is a little extensive...I had forgot that when I agreed to join this year...

    oh yeah, beer and bowling go hand-in-hand.

    damn! i'd say i'm more consistent, but have never had a game that good. i average in the 160s-170s now (i've never been in a league so i'm not sure of the exact number) and my high game is only a 217. i have a problem finishing games strong, don't know why.

    i wondered the same thing.

    also, i have my own ball and shoes. it helps your game a lot! the ball more than the shoes... they just save you money. but when you don't have them, it handicaps you a lot also.

    Bowling is a drinking sport, right?
