I've recently realized bowling is fun as hell and I have been a handful of times in the past months. I have a little practice under my belt now and am considering buying a ball and some shoes. Does anyone have their own gear and bowl often?

Used to bowl a lot during college, but we drank more than we bowled. Had a ball, didn't buy shoes. I probably couldn't throw a hook now to save my life

We had a bowling league at work for a few years. I never bought my own gear though, it was mostly just an excuse to go drink.
I typically drink while there too, but they close the bar an hour before they shut down the whole place unfortunately.

You should get back out there and try. Ive been going with a few older guys that havent bowled in decades and theyre all loving it too.

Haven't had time to even get to the range lately, so it might be a while.

Besides, I hear there is a creepy military dude trolling bowling alley parking lots in a Mercedes grocery-getter ... I hear he leaves straight dudes alone, but you never know with those types

I used to bowl all the time. Haven't been bowling in about 10 years though. I probably couldn't break 200 now if I tried.

Yeah- like everybody else, I used to bowl a lot. I remember my first born being in a car carrier some of the times we went.

I bought a ball from Dicks and had the finger holes drilled because none of the balls at the alley had enough room in the thumb hole- damn near tore my thumb off one night and said enough was enough. And the Brunswick ball from Dicks was about $45 at the time. Got a pair of slip on Dexter shoes from eBay for like $20 and saved on shoe rentals (besides that, I didn't like wearing other people's shoes.

Bowled a lot for a couple years, then kid #2 came along and there was no more time.

And I'm all the way down here in Macon, so making it to a bowling thing out of town is almost impossible.
