How many leagues does everyone Bowl here? I Bowl 3 leagues and it’s my first full time multiple leagues in several years... it’s rough! Lol 10 years ago, 4 leagues during winter was easy. What did I get myself into this year, I’m out of shape!

Just 1 this year with a newborn it's kinda tough to do any more, although theoretically i'm a sub in a couple others. Ideally I'd probably be doing 3 as I get more competitive/better, but that might be paused for a bit!

Just two, down from my peak of three as a regular and occasionally subbing in two others.

I took a year off when my children were born, since then it was one league and part time travel league. Daddy duties called and bowling took a back seat.

Now that I have more time, I think I made an unwise choice bowling 3 leagues.

I'm just bowling in one league this season maybe next
season I'll go back up to 2 or maybe 3 leagues not sure
my old body can handle it anymore. Back in the late 80's
to late 90's I was bowling 7 leagues most of the time I
just don't think I could do that now days. :(

4 for me this year.

Tues & Wed @ 12:30, Wed @ 6:30, Thurs @ 7.

Friday's I do a weekly 9 Tap @ 11:30, but it's not a league, nor is it sanctioned. Just a good time and some trash talk amongst friends 😊

I've always done 1at a time....2sometimes when I was a kid with friends and father son one. Seems like enough. My friends and I still open bowled a lot on other days. Used to be free for the summer. My best friends don't want to bowl weekly in the winter now. They are Too busy with work.but in a few years I hope my daughter will want to join a league

I’m in one. All I can physically handle after open heart surgery this summer. I’m averaging 205 so I’m doing ok.

Here's hoping that you are healthy enough to enjoy many more years of bowling.

I'm in 1 league right now, but will probably do 2 next year. There is a money league at my center that pays out $80,000 in prize money, and is calling my name.

Yeah it's a handicap league, but make no mistake about what kind of bowlers are attracted to it. The league ave. is 205 for 32 teams I believe. There's some serious cut-throat bowlers in that league. I'm pretty sure handicap is based on 90% of 230.

That's the kind of league that should have been scratch!

Over on Facebook on Bowlers Uniting someone mentioned a league with 125K prizefund

Started out with just 1 league on Tuesday nights, but turned into 2 with adding Wednesday nights as they needed a 5th to keep a team. Every now and then I'll bowl our drop in league on Friday's (high-low doubles, no commitment league). From 2007-2010 though, I bowled entirely too much. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, 2 leagues on Fridays, 2 leagues on Sundays. I was fresh out of high school and in much better shape than I am now lol. I learned my lesson that I didn't need to bowl 30 games a week lol.
