Unlike most bowlers who can toss their bag into the trunk of a car, I have no such luxury. I walk twelve blocks to the bowling alley and have to carry my bowling ball and bag. Don't get me wrong. It's great exercise, but since I walk, I only want to carry one ball with me and know that it's safe. With its thicker, durable nylon and metal zipper, quality was clearly the manufacturer's top priority with this bag. The plastic ball cup provides some crucial stability for my ball. What does all this mean? No more torn liner or broken zippers on my bag. And no more of my ball rolling from corner to ..read more

If you’re looking for a fun first date idea, bowling is a great one. Unlike some other traditional first dates like going to the movies or dinner, bowling allows you to interact with your date in ways a traditional date would not.

So, let’s take a look at why bowling is such a great date idea. An Easy Icebreaker and Conversation Starter Bowling provides an immediate topic of conversation, where you can ..read more

Back in the 1930s, a British anthropologist named Sir Flinders Petrie discovered a primitive bowling set in the grave of a child. So, what's interesting about that? The grave dated back nearly 5000 years, to the height of the ancient Egyptian empire. Since then, other anthropologists have discovered hieroglyphics and artwork depicting a sport remarkably similar to modern day bowling. Even more, Professor Edda Bresciani of the University of Pisa uncovered an ancient hall appr ..read more
