My dad was a big bowler during and after his air force career. He had many trophies in he and my mom were in leagues, individually and together many times.
But he was not a good teacher. He was great on being uber critical, but poor on helping and instructing. Teaching requires patience, and some folks just don’t have it.
When I got older and bowled with friends, I began to enjoy it. Have bowled in a long time, but still have my own bowling ball, and shoes in a bowling ball case.
Glad to see others still enjoy the game.
Bowling is a great value. Lot’s of fun for not a lot of money. My wife & I are in a seniors’ league for $5 per week each. The only drawback is that there’s a 93 year old woman in our league who has a better average than I do. :^(
Colorful shoes : )
