Last week, while trying to come up with an another activity to enjoy with my soon to be 7 year old son, I suggested my wife and I take him bowling. Of course my 16 year old had no desire to join us so the 3 of us went and had a blast. In the past 20 years, I may have bowled 3 strings and in the last week, we have matched that.
My son is typical in that if he doesn't immediately do great, he melts down and stops having fun. What we were able to do was tell him that we are only trying to improve on how we did the last time and not beat each other. He got onboard and had a GREAT time. I really think that we will enjoy bowling for some time to come.
I lurked on the board for the last couple of weeks and picked up quite a bit of knowledge. I also realized I have a great deal to learn and that this forum is a great resource. In the past (and in the last week) I have always aimed the ball straight and fired it down the lane. Having watched the PBA back when it used to be on TV regularly and numerous youtube videos, I know that success comes when you learn how to throw the ball correctly.
I read numerous postings and ordered a Motiv ball last night for myself. I figure I will put in the time to learn correctly and enjoy myself in the process. I will continue bringing my son bowling and my wife and I will enjoy the activity together.
Thanks again
