I am new here. I have lurked for a while. I am just curious as to your bowling motives.
Me. I bowl for fun and fellowship. I like to win, but as I get older that is less likely nowadays. I enjoy the exercise and the challenge. I enjoy talking with friends in the classic league about sports and such. I no longer compete in tournaments, but I still love the game and anyone who asks about the game I am more than happy to share information about our sport which is very misunderstood by most people. Once at work I was talking with a guy and he had no idea what a lane condition was.
I actually enjoy watching the young guns shoot 750 every week when 570 is a good night for me. If I can maintain 190, I am happy. There are a lot of SASBA guys in their late fifties and early sixties averaging 220 and that is fun to watch the older guys still shoot high especially when they bowl the team of young guns.
We have a great sport, but I don't like the party mixed leagues. Too much alcohol for me to be around. Those days are over for me! That was the late 1970's and early 1980's for me!
