College Bowling
« on: March 12, 2009, 10:58:59 AM »
I'm new to this site, long time viewer but never really had anything to say up until now. Recently i finished my career as a high school bowler and am wondering how college bowling is different from high school.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

totally different experience... there is a lot more travelling, and a lot tougher bowling. Also, a lot more team oriented.

You will find much harder patterns, almost any where you go.  And the competition is absolutely outstanding. Most formats are much longer than your normal highschool 2 game matches. Usually about 5-7 individual games, and 16-24 baker games.  Most are two-day tournaments.

High school bowling reminded me of league.  

College bowling on the other hand is very competitive setting, more games, tougher conditions and much more of a team feeling.

I bowled college for 2 years, if you have the opportunity, I say at least give it a try.
