New Bowling Ball Rules
Ready for the new era of "flexible" bowling coming in the not too distant future?
Bowling can be fun if you're in a league and/or drinking with friends, but it's boring in many respects. But what if they changed the rules for special tournaments and exhibitions? Like, say, what if there were 12 pins instead of just 10? What if the lane were 50 yards long--or even a quarter mile long? What if all your spares had to be made with your opposite hand? What if a gutter ball counted as half a pin in scoring? What if you could get extra points by rolling the ball more than 40 miles an hour down the alley? What if there were 14 frames instead of 10--but you could skip 2 or 3 frames, and "pick a card" from a deck of playing cards to figure out your score for that frame?
Bowling will not change. IF, and I mean if, a new version comes up, then it will be a different game. It will not be an appendage to classic bowling. Bowling is just fine the way it is. It is an American past time that will never vanish. Sorry, but some of those ideas seem absurd and too much like other games.

Slow, low and over the mark. Ever hear that? Well, I heard it every time I approached the lane to throw a bowling ball. That was some of the best instruction I received from the person who taught me the game.
Make your approach slow, stay low (bend at the knees) and make sure the ball hit your mark. That was it and it was a good way to start. I was soon bowling in the 150s consistently and thinks this is fun. I joined a league and met some of the nicest people who became friends along the way.
Bowling is truly a sport for everyone. Every community has a bowling center and people from all walks of life gather there for some fun and healthy competition. It is a place where community (people) gets to know each other. Your neighbors, co-workers and business people are all playing on the same "alley" and enjoying the camaraderie. The "slow, low and over the mark" rule works for developing relationships as well with your team mates and fellow bowlers. Slow: is always a good way to build a foundation for a lasting friendship. Staying low: let someone else be the center of attention and listen to really get to know a person. Hit the mark: Be yourself, honest and open, people respond well to seeing a real person. And you thought bowling was just throwing a ball down a narrow lane.
When was the last time you took yourself or the family out to bowl? Kids have such a great time heaving the ball down the lane and hoping that it stays out of the gutter. Great place for parties because everyone can get the ball down the alley sonehow, if not the conventional way then using both hands and rolling it between their legs. It is fun and laughter can be heard all over the place.
The best part is the connecting with people. So much of our lives is spent individually, on the computer, texting, tweeting or working. What about connecting in person, talking face to face, laughing, sharing life experiences, isn't that what makes us a community?
Why not check out your local bowling center, throw a few balls with the family and connect with those who live around you. It is never too late to start a new hobby, a new past-time, move the body, stretch the muscles and have some fun.
I am so glad someone took the time to introduce me to bowling. Remember slow, low and over the mark!
