Due to personal, medical and financial reasons, 4 of the 6 guys on my men's league team (5 man teams) have become, at best, part-time bowlers. More often than not, we're taking at least one blind. And sometimes two. So to fill the void, I recruited a guy I work with. Problem is, he hasn't bowled "since college" and he's now in his 50s. And it shows. I'm grateful that he's giving it a try and he says he's having fun, so what more can I ask, right??
Well..... Short of paying the pro shop operator for a lesson or two, what are some good, solid tips or lessons that I can give this guy? For starters, and I know this isn't teaching him anything, I got him out of wearing house shoes and throwing a house ball. I gave him my old shoes, an old bag and an old black Rhino ball that was given to me. He got it drilled fingertip (his first time throwing fingertip) and just in one night of throwing it says it feels better and more natural. So now what do I do?? Where, with the fundamentals, should I begin? I told him we need to get out and practice and he's all for that, so what are the A-B-Cs of teaching someone to bowl?
Appreciate any and all advice!
Thanks!!
