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.

That is why I have had little interest in this sport so far, although
someday when I get way up into my 70's, that bit of exercise might
seem beneficial.

My grandfather (came over on the boat from Sweden) was on a senior's
candlepin bowling league team and bowled regularly well into his 90's.
