Post #1 The Sport of Bowling
I believe bowling is a sport that many people do not understand. Some people do not even acknowledge bowling as a sport. I'm here to tell you it is and that it is more complicated than you know. Bowling is said to be around 20% physical and 80% mental. On a lane there is 39 boards and 7 arrows to help you figure out where to throw the ball. The lane is 60 feet long with 10 pins standing at the end. The two main factors that come into play are the different bowling balls and lane conditions which I will go into detail in my next few blogs. In my mind focus is the hardest aspect in the sport. Having to hit the same one inch board up to 12 times in a game isn't the easiest task in the books. When it comes to the most important aspect in bowling there's only one point that comes to mind. Spares spares spares, you have to be able to pick up your spares. One spare is the difference in winning the tournament or walking away a loser. If you want to become good there's only one way, practice practice and practice. Until then grab a ball and let it roll. Thanks, Tate

I really like the name of your blog. I actually had no idea there were 39 boards. When I first saw it I was confused as to what boards had to do with bowling. The whole piece was informational. Loved the specifics and can't wait to hear your thoughts and tips. Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteYour right bowling is underestimated in the world as sports. Like golf many consider it a sport and others consider it a game of leisure. I like bowling but their are days were I can't knock any pins down.
