Thread: Funny Bowling Rituals

  1. #1

    Default Funny Bowling Rituals

    Anyone have any funny bowling rituals that help them play a good game? I always give my dog a high-five on the way out the door

    You?

    When I was bowling in my Thursday night scratch league (some years ago) I would eat Fish Sticks and French Fries as my pre-game meal...

    Oh yeah, one more...if I buy a new bowling ball, the serial number has to have an E or the number 5 in it. Goes back to me baseball playing days where I played 3rd base....if you are playing third, the last thing you want to see is E-5...

    It's been so long since I've had a good game, my ritual will probably be whatever I did leading up to my next good game.

    I guess my bowling ritual would be once I walk into the center I
    go straight to the snack counter and get myself a cup of hot strong
    coffee but it doesn't always make me bowl better but it sure does get
    me all wound up and ready to go.

    Those fish sticks and french fries do sound good before going to the
    lanes I will have to try it out this Wednesday and see how it works
    out for me.

    I usually have two mugs and a glass of Widmers Hefeweizen and order a ceaser salad to go during the third game. Unfortunately it hasn't worked one bit.

    I always put my right shoe on first, then the left. If I try the left first it feels weird so I end up taking it off and putting the right on. That's not really a bowling ritual though as I do that all the time. Right sock, left sock. Right shoe, left shoe. I also won't leave the center if the table we are at is dirty, i.e. papers, cups, etc. I bowl with some slobs and/or lazy people so I'm always throwing trash away after they leave.
    My OCD probably kicks in at the lanes and I do stuff I don't even realize.

    Oh yeah that is the only way to eat them with plenty of ketchup I love
    ketchup on just about everything I eat.
