Do you enjoy bowling? Lately, I've really been enjoying bowling.
Been going about once a week. Always using rental shoes and house balls thus far, but I've got my own gear on the way. Only cost me like $150 for everything: ball, bag, and shoes. A small investment for a new hobby, I figure.
My highest game is a 167 with four strikes in a row, but apparently it gets easier with your own ball, etc. I'm brand new so there's a ton of room for improvement.
I never knew there was so much involved here! Things like differing oil patterns on the lanes, symmetric vs asymmetric ball cores, the materials your ball is made of, the way the type of finish on your ball itself (more friction grabs the lane better), etc.
Did you know ancient Egyptians invented the sport over 5,000 years ago?!
Or how about that Germans used the game as a literal religious practice where the ball taking out the pins represented them cleansing themselves of their sins?!
Plus bowling alleys are just awesome places to go with friends, family, coworkers etc. Apart from the lanes you've often got a full bar, an arcade, a restaurant, and a pro shop for all sorts of accessories to help you improve your game.
The world would be a much better place if everyone just bowled more, I swear.
