What's The Best...

[darklinensuit]

...You Ever Bowled?

I went to a bowling party in January. First time I bowled since college. I'm as bad as ever. But now they have those kiddie gates to put up at the gutters, so even I can knock down pins.
I am proud that I've never killed anyone with a bowling ball, though several people have taken to wearing helmets near me.
I don't know that I have ever reached a bowling score of triple digits. :shrug:
(I'm almost as bad at miniature golf, where I probably have made triple digits. :) )

What's your high score?

I went in Chico with my friend and her kids and husband, during New Years time. Hadn't gone in about 15 years. I did well, can't remember my high score - 200 something? Anyway, it was fun, but then I like sporty things.

102, Im not bowler for sure :laugh:

[wondergirl9847]

I love bowling!! I used to practically live at the lanes when I was in high school. I think my high score is somewhere around 175 or something. When I first learned to bowl, I was horrid...gutter balls galore and I kept hitting my leg, until my mom told me to swing it behind me. LOL

My mom and I used to go there every day when I was 15, she taught me to bowl well. There was this cute guy who worked there and I adored him. We got to know him, the manager, the guy who worked in the snack bar, and just became friends with everyone. My mom joined a league, we got my cousin in on the fun...it was just a great, fun time in my life. Memories..sigh...

I wanna go bowling now!

[GardenStateGirlie]

Okay, confession time. Believe it or not, in high school (junior and senior year), my friend Lauren and I were on the bowling team :o One match, I missed a perfect score by two frames :distress: Yes, I have hit triple digits but i'm not sure I could do that anymore. Honestly, I don't think i've bowled in about five years.

Wow! That's like our highschool having a golf team, ie, really weird! Good scores, though. You should go again, you'll pick it right up. :nod: I went after 15 years and did low 200's. :woohoo: Bowling is strangely fun. It doesn't beat ski ball, though.

Gaw....

I'm oddly good at hitting the right holes. :o

We had a golf team too :laugh: I played soccer but they kept trying to recruit me for field hockey. I declined and stuck with soccer in the fall and bowling in the winter. Spring was musical season so there was no spring sport for me to play. I was always really bitter that we had no Volleyball team.

YOU DIDN'T HAVE A VOLLEYBALL TEAM!!!!? Ho****, I played VB for college. I can't imagine no VB. Favorite sport.
Although, field hockey is fun. Soccer is really hard, i think, that's great you played! I mean, all that running, and kicking. :thumbsup:
I know, I didn't do softball my senior year cause of choir and drama shows! And cause lots of the girls on my new school Softball team were redneck country bitches. ok. :D :thumbsup:

No and I've always been super jealous of people who did. I loved playing volleyball and I was pretty decent too. I got freaked out about field hockey when my friend Nicole broke her nose (and needed plastic surgery--she would later split her chin as well) and Rachael had teeth knocked out and split her lip. I had no desire to get mangled :distress: They wanted me to play because I used to beat the living **** out of the boys in floor hockey in gym :laugh: I've played soccer since I was 4 (micro-mini's) both indoor and outdoor. However, years of wear and tear on the ankles from both that and dance have totally put me out of comission. If I were to get slide-tackled again and sprain my ankle for a 4th time (and it was ALWAYS the same damn ankle), I literally think it would break :shocked:

Yeah, field hockey is dangerous. But then, I've always thought soccer was pretty dangerous. Which, apparently, is true, judging by your ankles. :shocked: LOL @ the floor hockey story. Me, too. i was always beating the sh** out of some boy until all girl sports presented themselves. :laugh: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
My knees are trashed. VB is hella fun (glad to hear you were good!) but I twisted my ankles like, 10 times playing it, and the wear and tear on the knees is hell. Also from Softball and Basketball. Still, I wouldn't trade a minute of it. But I'm also glad I didn't play any "face injury" sports. I'm not down with that. lol, except, I did chip my tooth from Basketball.... :p I used to just try to be the fastest one during softball, so that I wouldn't have to slide. :D

Well, since we're sharing intimate secrets, I too was on the bowling team for a year in high school :o . I was OK - 130 average maybe?

I was also in a league in '02 & '03. My high score was a 237. :)

Funny how I prefer "sports" where there is a good chance beer is involved (bowling, pool, darts...) :shrug:

[CreepingDeath]

High school sports confessions eh?

I was on the soccer team, and actually got a scholarship. Wellllll, I injured my knee extremely bad two weeks after I graduated and ended up losing it.

As far as bowling goes, I'm pretty lame. I always think I'm going to look like a big geek if I use the correct form. :o I think my high score is 150.

[amber]

Oh, no, of COURSE not! :D
right! exactly! also, I didn't have tequila shot at 11:30 this morning! of COURSE not!!!! :wavey:

[golden braid]

Well so far everyone here is a better bowler than I am. I think my high score is around 50. I totally suck at bowling. I need to bowl in one of the kiddy lanes then maybe I could break 100.

[xxxmx]

It doesn't beat ski ball, though.

amen, i used to work at Chuck E. Cheese's (technically, i WAS Chuck E. Cheese :shocked: ) and got a ****load of practice playing ski-ball.

the best i ever bowled was 200 even. i have a swirly blue ball with mushrooms and the Alice caterpillar on it ;)

[GypsySorcerer]

I think it was a 112. I need the gutter-stoppers. :laugh:

I bowled once a year growing up. My best friend always had his birthdays with a bowling theme. In junior high they stopped. Then I bowled once during fraternity rush. Then once years later on a bad date. Then this last January. So practice has not had an opportunity to make perfect.

I'm sure Marissa played a lot of ski ball, working nearby on the boardwalk at DipStix. :laugh:

Actually, I do like ski ball. At least you win things.

We had all those things. Plus lacrosse was really big, east coast and all.

There's a correct form? :lol:
Actually, one thing I hate is whenever I try to relax & have fun as I bowl, there's always some yokel who feels the need to give me tips on correct form.
