It’s the Shoes!

Yup, She won here too!!

Yup, She won here too!!


I love being able to bowl with my Wife… She usually wins. I can’t really figure it out. You can play great in a practice game or league game no prob. Get your significant other involved, and you may as well call the game! Even if she has a lousy set, I stink it up just the same!! Thing is her score always ends up higher.

Inside I think it comes down to her staying strong and going back to the basics. My answer is to move all over and try a different line, or more wrist in the release. By the time I have figured it out, the 10th frame has arrived and it’s too late! There has to be another answer, a reason for the wins.

Recently my Mother was bowling with us, providing some wonderful entertainment. She noted the pink shoes, and knew that had to be why she always wins. THE PINK SHOES!! Not sure if I am ready for those, I can’t even make myself wear the flames they have out now!!

The REAL reason she always wins!

The REAL reason she always wins!

I guess she will have to keep on beating me, it’s great fun even when you lose!

Economy of Bowling

posted by Big E

In this economy, no one can afford to go bowling… Right?? Not as I have seen lately… If you go to any bowling center on a weeknight, they are all still rocking right along! It seems that many have noted that the cash based business is doing well.

With its fairly cheap cost, most can still go out for a game or two. The league players are not about to give up a position for 12-15 bucks a week. It seems people find money for the things they enjoy, no matter how tough things get. Good time to be a bowling center owner!!

It was just noted though this week that a top customer service rep for Brunswick, Ric Hamlin lost his job due to cost cutting measures. He was well known throughout the industry for his RICO drilling style, and great customer service skills. It’s a shame when service and time with a company begin to mean nothing.

In every hobby, especially bowling, you will always find a dollar that is being spent. It may slow down, but it will never die off. Too many people have too much time and money invested their bowling gear to just let it go. Hopefully we will see a re-birth, a renewing of the industry, as we try to move forward from the lull we seem to be in now.
