I first picked up the ball at age 5-6ish, and I joined my first league when I was 7 going on 8... I only became serious about it though around 12ish.. Anyways, I'm going to be 24, so you figure out the math... About 16 years on leagues... I usually bowl 2 leagues a season (2 in winter, 2 in summer) and actually thinking of joining a 3rd this year. My average is about a 150-160 (I want to get it up to 175 though, and I'm joining a much more competitive league with match points and stuff, and a lot of them are 190+ bowlers, so maybe upping the competition would help)...
Anyways, my dad grew up bowling, got my mom into it, and naturally me and my sister picked it up also... Up to about a year ago when my parents decided to split up, it was always a family activity, and still one that I share with my father. I think thats the best part about the sport.. OLd and young, beginner and advanced can all play next to each other, its all about having fun and handicaps even things out at least somewhat... Plus you can play all year round, and no rainouts!!!

I've been bowling since my teens! I'm 42 now.
I only do it for "fun" though. Was in a league for one year!
