How did you get here??
« on: January 26, 2004, 08:32:22 PM »
This is a spin-off topic of Bones' topic about us being the lucky ones. My question is, how did you come across this site?? How did you find this place of vast knowledge and wonderful people?? Did you stumble onto it randomly, was it referred to you?? Please share.

As for me, I stumbled upon this site a few years back in searching for some "ball reviews" on equipment I was about to purchase. I came here and never left!! I love it here!!

Thanks everyone for making this a wonderful place to be!!

How did I get here? What I want to know is how do I get out?
I am certainly one of the lucky ones that Bones talks about.
I started bowling Sept 2002. I was looking for a ball to buy and thought theres got to be a place on the net that gives you an idea of what to get.
Found this site while looking and Ive never looked back.
Where I bowl people say it takes you many years to improve how much Ive improved over that time.
I feel that I can compete with most people in my county and outside now after this short time. A lot of it thanks to the knowledge gleaned from this site and to my coach.
Also where else can you find such a nice bunch of people.

I honestly don't remember.  What pin placement works best with senility again?
