Do you like bowling with the "cosmic" lights? what's that?

Do you think it's easy to make the 10-pin (7-pin if you're lefthanded)?: yes.. somehow it's easier for me making the 10-pin than the 7-pin

Cosmic lights are when the regular lighting is turned off except for the counter and the snack bar areas, and the rest of the center has some combination of colored lights and strobe lights. Sort of like going back and reliving the disco era for us aging baby boomers.

Oddly enough I also prefer shooting the ten pin right-handed and the 7pin when bowling left-handed. Maybe because I practice those shots more?

hmm never have that here.. only moonlight style (where only the counter and snack bar areas are lighted and the bowling area is completely dark.. only the lights on the pin area are on)..

and never tried the 7-pin left-handed.. maybe should try that.. :D

THE BOWLING SURVEY:

The rules, copy and paste this to your notes, change the answers to reflect yours, tag a bunch of other people that bowl, and have fun...you get to find out more about your bowling friends!

How old were you when you started bowling?: 5

Righty or lefty? Righty

What's your average?: 200, give or take

Do you own your own ball?: Yes, more than I can count.

Who's your favorite professional bowler of all time? Earl Anthony. Dick Weber. Mark Roth. Marshall Holman. Carmen Salvino. Pete Weber.

Do you bowl in a league? Which one(s)? Monday Night High Rollers. Still deciding on where else I'm going to bowl this Fall. I'll probably bowl in 2 or 3 leagues, each at a different house.

What's your favorite bowling alley? All time favorite has to be Forum Bowling Lanes, Grand Prairie, TX. But I don't live there anymore. So I'll vote for Stars and Strikes in Cumming, GA.

How about your LEAST favorite?: Don Carter's All Star Lanes in Dallas, TX (on Hillcrest). I don't know if it's still open. I don't have a "least favorite" where I live now.

Do you like bowling with the "cosmic" lights? It doesn't really matter to me. I thought Moonlight Bowling was cool when I was a kid. Now, I'd rather bowl with the lights on.

How about with music playing?: Doesn't matter. I don't hear it anyway.

Do you like to order food from the snack bar while you bowl? Only if they have something healthy, like a grilled chicken salad.

Have you ever made the 7-10 split? Yes, when I was a junior bowler. But oddly enough, it happened by accident, and on the first ball in a frame. I dropped the ball, picked off the 10, and somehow, miraculously, it rattled around back there and tipped out the 7. I've also made the double-pinochle (4-6-7-10).

Have you ever bowled a 300 game?: Never in sanctioned play. Six times in practice. The only time I've ever missed on the 12th ball was the only time I ever got the first 11 in sanctioned competition. Hung a ringin' 10, dammit.

If not, have you seen someone else do it?: I've never actually seen anyone bowl a 300 game in person. Although I was away from the game for about 30 years. Now that I'm back, I fully expect that I will...and probably fairly often.

Have you ever won a tournament?: Once. It was a silly mixed doubles no-tap thing.

Do you watch bowling on TV?: Yep. I also have quite a collection of bowling videos. See them on my YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/BowlingOldies

Have you ever bowled on TV?: Strictly speaking, yes. But never on broadcast television.

When you go bowling on a date, who usually wins?: What's a date?

Any embarrassing moments happen while you were bowling?: Once when I was a kid, I decided at the last second not to let go of the ball and...well...you can probably guess what happened. I ended up face-down in the gutter about 10 feet beyond the foul line...with the ball still attached to my right hand.

What's the highest game you've ever bowled?: 300

The lowest?: First game I ever bowled in my life was a 52.

What is the highest three game set you ever bowled?: 847 (278-280-289). I also have a pair of 803s.

Ever had a birthday party at a bowling alley?: No. But in high school, there was an all-night bowling party the night of graduation. (It was a simpler time back then. HA!)

Which of your Facebook friends have you went bowling with?: (Grammar Police: You mean, "...have you GONE bowling with?") Uh, a few. But who my Facebook friends are is none of your business.

Who won?: Sometimes them, sometimes me.

Can you hook the ball?: Of course. And I can throw it straight if I need to.

Do you use a ball with a fingertip grip?: Yes.

Ever left without paying?: Many times. But it wasn't stealing. As a former PBA member, I used to get a lot of my bowling comped. And even now, some of the places I bowl give free games to their league bowlers. So yeah, I've left without paying many times. Free bowling is the best bowling.

Ever walk out while still wearing the bowling shoes?: No. I have my own shoes, thanks.

Do you think it's easy to make the 10-pin (7-pin if you're lefthanded)?: After a long (almost 30 year) hiatus from bowling, I have struggled with 10-pins this Summer. But I've spent a lot of time recently practicing spares, and in particular, 10 pins, since this has been one of my biggest sources of annoyance since returning to the game. I will be better with 10 pins this Fall.

Lastly, wanna go bowling right now?: My answer would usually be, "Yes." But I've bowled every day for the last couple of weeks, and have league tomorrow night. I'm actually ready for a day or two off, thanks.

How about your LEAST favorite?: Just the ****ty poorly kept ones that everyone encounters at some point.

Do you like bowling with the "cosmic" lights? Every now and then I use it to practice, it's something different, allows me to bowl in a way different setting and environment, and helps me deal with distractions during bowling. But overall, no I don't enjoy cosmic bowling.

How about with music playing?: sure, sometimes I suppose. There's something about league night with no music on, just the chatter and pins clattering about throughout 40 lanes. It's lovely, really.

Do you like to order food from the snack bar while you bowl? Sometimes

Have you ever made the 7-10 split? Not yet, although twice in one night I picked up a 10 pin spare and would have picked up the 7 if it was there.

Ever left without paying?: I did just last week because my center makes us pay afterward and there was 20 college kids in line due to spring break. I was not waiting as it was late already so I left.
