Can you Bowl?

[~*Belle 2003*~]

We call it Ten Pin Bowling here!

I can bowl, but usually candlepin.
What can I say, I was born in Boston.
The only time I tried the "big balls" it was like tossing watermelons.

I LOVE to bowl, I'm just not good at it at all. My average is about a 95. LOL!

Love to, and pretty good. 140-something avg. this past winter in the Disney Family League. I used to bowl about a 160-something when DH and I bowled regularly. DD came home with a Monsters Inc. ball that features Mike Wizowski.

Ugh, I HATE CANDLEPIN!!! Never even saw it until college here in Boston, I was so upset when I went bowling and it was candlepin, I'm horrible at it.

As for regular bowling, I'm fairly decent, always bowl over 100 without bumpers. Last time I went I bowled a 139

Love bowling! I'm not too terribly good at it, maybe 125 for the first game. It's usually downhill from there. Now that the kids are old enough, I would love to go bowling again! Now if the lanes would be smoke free..........

Also a candlepin gal...never even tried bowling with the large bowling balls. Haven't been in quite a while..used to go a lot with my best friend...guess we've been to busy with all our sports together so I couldn't well tell you my score

I don't bowl much because of my back but it's Candlepins for me. Also in this area we have Duck Pins.

Haven't bowled in awhile, used to bowl on leagues (ladies, and mixed doubles) and had a 140+ average (my highest game was 201 I think). My Dad used to be a really good bowler, his average was 180 and his high game was 278. He still bowls once a week on a senior league.

I love bowling, but I'm not very good at it.

 

[browneyes]

I think my bowling average is something like 30.

 

[leahannpen]

Yep, I can bowl...not good, but I can bowl. I'm on a couples league with a bunch of our friends once a month...and on a league with my sis-in-law every other Wednesday...all women. I keep telling myself..it's just for fun..because I'm not very good. Both leagues are just about over for the season. I'm only going to do the couples league again. My average is about 120 I think.

My best game ever was 180. I'll probably never do that again!

My DH is a very good bowler...He's actually good at all sports he does. His average is probably 200...?

You know those cartoons you see of people losing the ball and almost killing the person 3 lanes down, well that is me! I am the gutter ball queen.

I was on a team during High School. I bowled tenpin and won several trophies also. Back in the day I'd play my scheduled games on Saturday morning and then rush home to watch the Pro Bowlers Tour on ABC.

I still have my ball, bag and shoes. They have been gathering dust for years now.

As for candlepin, which is more popular around here - I tried it once. I threw the ball down the alley so hard it smacked the back wall and for all that effort it only brought down a couple pins. I hated it and never went again.

My hubby and I bowl in a league. Our averages are about the same, 159ish.

 

[Jasminesmommy]

Yes I bowl. I am on a league with my dad DH and Sister. Tomorrow is our last day for the year. My sister and I have like a 120 so we are always competeing against each other. My husband is very good.

What is Candlepin?? We don't have this wear I bowl.

Used to bowl a LOT in the 60's, very big then, when the big lanes came into being, 32, 64 lanes. I was on a company league at the company where I met Marie back then. Now I bowl every few years. It is fun though. I spot bowl.

How about these???

Used to bowl alot when I was younger bowled in a number of leagues carried a 187 average high game was 287 in league and a 300 in practice. Had a triple (3gamesin a row) of over 800 best in the league and still hold that record no one has beat it yet mind you I think I would be lucky to break 150 as I have not done it in about 8 years.
