how some of the prices of bowling just keep going up and up and up and up. not just on the games itself, but as you mentioned everything from a ball, to shoes, to a stupid little towel. i actually bowl in a league so i know what the burden is cause it took my 18 years before i could finally afford to buy all those things for myself.

its weird that the prices are so infliated because of bowling being the #1 recreational sport in america. you'd think the prices would be lower because the demand is so high? you know, the laws of supply and demand.. why are they making me take economics in college...

the game itself is all about making changes, usually during a series (3 games), like you said, you it can be challenging.. i dont think its harder than hitting a baseball consistently well though.

it would be nice to see bowling catch on a little more like as far as tv and things, but i think the lanes, as long as they still are going to be #1 in recreational sporting, i dont think they mind too much that the professionals aren't as big as baseball or football because they can still bring in the money and people still go.

just goes to show you how good all those professional bowlers really are...
