Shot an 84 day before yesterday at Greendale. That gave me a nice big head as it's the best I've
ever shot there. 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. -- Hope you're having a great day! |

Try to find some candlepin lanes where a bit of skill is needed... not those oversized pins and balls y'all favour in most of the states. |

Actually, I was being facetious. I can't bowl because of a hand problem. |

If you can't hold one of your oversized balls with the fingerholes, then my advice about candlepin bowling makes even more sense.

Being a MA native, going "bowling" to us as kids was always candlepin. I never saw a 10 pin alley until I was much older. I've done both over the years but still much prefer candlepin. |

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. |

I'd be an embarrassment to the team and myself. My father-in-law used to be pretty good when he was a young man. He was one of those "power" bowlers who could throw the candlepin ball halfway down the alley before it landed. I saw him splinter the old, wooden pins once and the owner of the alley kicked him out. |

Seems to me they called that 'lobbing the ball'. ;-) As kids we had two candlepin alleys within walking distance of where I grew up but as teenagers we were more interested in the pool tables and pinball machines in a backroom. Later I tried league bowling with my workplace, but didn't last more than a couple of weeks. I was now living 25 miles out of town and didn't like driving in and back Sunday nights during the winter. |

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. Herring, of course, doesn't follow his own "advice" when he offers up unsolicited comments on the posts of others. |

Being a MA native, going "bowling" to us as kids was always candlepin. I never saw a 10 pin alley until I was much older. I've done both over the years but still much prefer candlepin. Are the balls the same size as 10 pin balls? I've never seen a candlepin alley. Not sure if anyone answered your question but there is quite a size difference and no holes in the smaller ball.

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. |

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.

Why are you making ugly comments to Harry. Besides, he goes by FOAD now. Both, by the way, very mature and applicable names for himself. John (Gun Nut) H. -- Hope you're having a great day! |
