Hey, how many bowlers on these forums...
« on: February 26, 2004, 04:40:54 PM »
play golf? More of curiosity question than anything else. I used play in high school, wasn't very good at it, but I had fun though. Every now and then that bug bites me in the rear and I get interested about playing again. Go fig.

As a matter of fact, how many of you think your good in both sports, competitively I mean. Is anyone here good enough to probably make some money in both? The reason for my question is because I've noticed over the years that bowlers are a unique breed of people. I mean, it seems like we have our hand in all kinds of different sports specifically baseball, softball, and golf. I'm sure I'm missing a few things but this is what I've noticed.

For example, do any of you keep up with the PGA Tour as well as our beloved PBA Tour? Do you watch the Golf Channel religiously? (Of course you do know we'd watch our own tv show more, at least, that's if we had one! ) Hell, I'm watching it right now! LOL! I mean, I'm watching the College Central Golf Show for goodness sake!

Anywho, just curious as to how many of you enjoy trying to get a perfect low score as well as a high one.

When you've moved up, moved back, adjusted left and right, cupped, flattened out, have thrown everyting in your arsenal, and the pins still don't cooperate, just say, "Aw to HELL with it!", and throw the ball!

I play quite a bit of golf during the summer, but golf is not the same for me as bowling.  My golf basically was I picked up the clubs and started hitting it.  I could make it go so I went with it.  I think I could be ok at it if I ever took lessons and learned at it more.  The problem would be that in the summer I coach and things like that and I just don't have to time to commit to a set schedule with the golf like I do with the bowling so I have fun with it and take the bowling more serious.

I don't really play cards and I am not 79, but it fits together somehow.

It's a 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

I started playing golf in junior high, but gave it up entirely during college and for several years after.  I've only been back at it regularly for about 6 years now.  I usually play 27 to 36 holes a week when the weather is nice.
