Are the balls the same size as 10 pin balls? I've never seen a candlepin alley. Try youtube 'candlepin bowling'. John (Gun Nut) H. -- Hope you're having a great day! |

You may have to dust off your skills and try to bring the World Championship back to New England. Last year Nova Scotia took the title down in Maine. http://bangordailynews.com/2012/11/1...ndlepin-title/ I hope there is a future for this sport. A local lane was complaining that it's getting hard to find new equipment and one bowling alley in the Halifax Shopping Center didn't have it's lease renewed last year. Seems they want to go upscale with their clientel.. such as Victoria Secrets, a new Apple Store etc. After reading your advice, I reviewed candlepin bowling. I'm wondering about the exercise value of this 'sport'. It seems as though one picks up a ball, takes three steps, hurls the ball down the lane, takes five or six steps back, sits down, and drinks a few beers waiting for the next turn. I'm thinking walking after a golf ball for five or six miles provides a little more exercise. I could be wrong however. John (Gun Nut) H. Did you ever think that maybe it's not played for the exercise value? Hell, if that's all you're worried about, a treadmill would be cheaper than golf and provide a lot more "exercise value". Kevin, did someone ask you a question? Donnie's comment bowling, was made to me. I really could not care less about your opinion. ESAD, you condescending piece of crap. |

It didn't hurt that it was with the Seniors group, so I may have won $10. Yippee. But, golf being the way it is, I went to Forest Greens yesterday and shot a 101. Now my hats fit again. Bowling....that's what I need to be doing! John (Gun Nut) H. Back in 1984 I had a chielectomy, operation on right big toe. After that I couldn't bowl. Then about 1 years ago the wife and kids wanted to go bowling. I hyper-extended my right middle finger and it still hurts and my toe hurt after bowling too. Reason enough to keep up your golf game. John (Gun Nut) H. I am playing at Needwood tomorrow at 3:00 PM. |
