slo’s TUESDAY 1/17 poll - Bowling

[slo]

Do you like to bowl?
If yes…..how often do you bowl?
(multiple choice)


For Me…..I‘m not a fan of bowling, but I will go if a group wanted to go. The last time I bowled my girls were young and it was a day they were off of school - my girls are 24 & 19, so that tells you how long ago that was - LOL!

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

I like it, I think it is fun... it is something to do every couple years. Needless to say, I am absolutely awful at it. However, I was a beast at Wii Bowling

 

[mrs. magoo]

My husband and I are in a league. We are not great bowlers but it gets us out of the house once a week to socialize with friends. It is fun.

 

[Dan Murphy]

I'll edit the 'I like to bowl' response to 'I liked to bowl'. Years back, I used to bowl maybe a half dozen times a year. As a teen, probably once a week. Never good, maybe 140 or so average, high game, probably 190 or so. I've not bowled though for probably 40 years though. Today, don't think I'd attempt it, too concerned about damaging a knee replacement, or, tripping and falling. But it was fun.

Eta.... In my 20's, I was on a weekly work bowling league for about 3 years. Lots of fun back then, bowling, drinking, smoking. Today, no bowling, no smoking, and a few beers or glasses of wine a year now.

No Close Bowling ally's around anymore. I use to bowl every once in a while and it was a lot of fun.

 

[PollyannaMom]

I love to bowl and don't go nearly often enough. The last time was my niece's birthday party.

My parents played in leagues when I was a teen, and I would sometimes keep score for my dad's team.

I’m with Dan. I have bowled. Never in a league, just for fun. Now I’m afraid I’d hurt my shoulder.

My son bowled one year on his high school team. They went to state. He got to compete at the state level after bowling one season.

 

[Kitty 34]

I used to love bowling. Was on a team called Skid Row out in Colorado. The name explains how good we were!
Took the boys all the time when they were young. My grandson just went bowling for the first time last Sunday.

 

[antmaril]

I bowl once a week on a league. I look forward to it every Tuesday night.

 

[design_mom]

I like to bowl, but I'm not very good at it. It's kind of rare for me to even break 100.

I'd say that we go once every few years... often when the kids had a day off from school, or if we had a rainy day on vacation or something. I have actually bowled pretty recently though -- my company's christmas party this year was at a bowling alley and had free bowling. I played two games... and I think I got a 96 and a 98.

 

[fly girl]

I love to go bowling! I’m not good, but I have fun. It has been a while since I have gone, but my dd goes with her friends quite often.

 

[WDWEPCOT]

I lived it and we used to have two in our town ! But since my spinal surgery it’s in the do not do list which makes me sad
We had a Team event at work once after my surgery - bowling - I was made to go and watch everyone do it - so mad - one coworker fell and hurt her back - I told my boss now you can understand why I can’t do this as he took it as me not wanting to do the activity - no I would have loved to bowl - just not risked never walking again
Let alone the fact can’t lift more than 10 pounds and the whole throwing it and twisting - yeah that would have not been fun
But back in the day - loved bowling - was never great at it but loved doing it - always loved it when we got to do it in gym class !! Field trip to the bowling alley !!!

 

[mrodgers]

Said "sorta like to bowl". It's fun but not something to do all the time. On a boring winter Saturday, "hey, we should go bowling" kind of thing.

 

[RedAngie]

I haven’t been bowling in about 15 years. Even way back it was a once every few years activity.

 

[AppleDumpling]

Haven’t been in a long time. My son bowled in a youth league for a number of years, so I would hang out at the bowling alley and watch him. As an adult, I bowled only a few times a year, but more often as a child. Back in the day before electronic scoring, I liked to keep score (using pencil and paper).

 

[bobbiwoz]

I’m with Dan. I enjoyed bowling, and went a few times a year, and it was fun. Our sons were in a bowling league.

Recently our younger son and his family went bowling in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and sent me this picture.

 

[BorderTenny]

I enjoy bowling, but opportunities to do it these days are few and far between. I actually took bowling for 2 of my 3 required Phys Ed credits in college. Once I joined the LGBT group at college, most of my Saturday nights were spent bowling with them. DH and I joined a local(ish) gay bowling league for one season umpteen years ago.

 

[luvnwdwgal]

I haven’t bowled in a long time. I use to bowl twice a week in leagues but they tore down our local bowling alley almost 20 years ago.

 

[mrsstats79]

My husband and I are in a league. We are not great bowlers but it gets us out of the house once a week to socialize with friends. It is fun.

That is us too. Right now he can’t bowl due to medical issues but a t
young friend (he is 30, we are in our 70’s) is filling in for him. Its a fun night out

Used to belong to a bowling league at work many years ago. Back then smoking was permitted and along with the low ceilings most bowling alleys have, you would always come home with clothes smelling like cigarettes. Lost interest and while I assume you can't smoke there now, have no interest now.
