Just curious about how many people actually bowl (not recreational bowling) but like in a league, know what you're talking about, tournament entering, bowler.

I guess like a simple Hello, if you would like to introduce yourself in this way, could be:

(ANSWER ALL THAT YOU WOULD LIKE)

Years Bowling Seriously:
Ball's You Throw/Weight:
Average:
Highest Game:
State:
High School Bowling:

---EX:
-----Years Bowling Seriously: 4 (Started 6th grade)
-----Ball's You Throw/Weight: Pure Swing, Complete NV, White Dot(all 15lbs)
-----Average: 186 (Ha Ha averaged 147 last year! Determination baby!)
-----State: OHIO!
-----Highest Game: 279 [9-][x][x][x][x][x][x][x][x][xxx] (Then threw a strike in the first frame of second game for 12 X's in a row.
-----High School Bowling: Yes, did not get choosen for Varsity or JV freshman year, then started as a varsity bowler sophomore year.
________________________________________________

So yeah that's just an idea to get a convo started hopefully...
It's not something you HAVE TO FILL OUT, and you dont HAVE TO be like a dedicated bowler to want to talk about it, like if you're just interested in bowling in the future maybe someone or I can answer a question you may have!

its not a sport lol neither is curling or golf.

its a game of technique and skill that involves no need for any athletisism.

No, I do not bowl. At all. Well, once in a while, but I'm terrible at it so it hurts my precious ego to lose so horribly, thus I don't play very often.

I'm kidding... I do that from time to time lol

My last bowling average (5 months ago with 10 games) was around 140 so I'm decent I guess. The only bowling alley is in a place where guys don't go in alone, so I don't get to go very often.

NO NEED FOR ANY ATHLETICISM?! (btw curling is an olympic SPORT, isnt it? it's not called an olympic event...is it?)

I mean I guess you can say that it is technique and skill, but there is a kind of athleticism to it, you can be the best bowler/golfer/curler in the world, but if you aren't physically fit than you won't last very long.

Trablis, that is not necessary to say, since the post was intended for serious bowlers or serious questions/answer to a question or discussion about bowling, saying "i never really bowled alot. exept for this one feild trip in 2nd grade", i personally consider spam.

Please don't spam my thread, even if it is only one reply.

Was at a tournament this whole weekend bowled 4 times haha, did really bad the first 2 times then finally found the shot, but I'm curious (if any bowlers exist out there in the AG forums:

Are you bowling in any upcoming tournaments?

I personally bowl in every tournament I can, I have a tournament or two every week, along with my league which is a tournament in of itself.
