    Creating the new Tiger Woods is an insult to our sport! You need to create the new Pete Weber,this way your son can go around saying"Who do you think you are,I am the new king of bowling."

    Tiger Woods was used as it was also a shot at me as I want to teach my son to golf at a young age when they are easier to teach form.

    My son just turned 5. He is growing up in a bowling alley. His mother and I are both tournament bowlers. We are in a different house almost every weekend, and if they have an open lane, you will find him bowling on it. Its nice to watch the crowd of people he gets to watch him throw the ball. He started bowling when he was 2. When not in school he averages about 6 games a week. This is his first year of league bowling, he averages 95 with a high game of 170. Two handed....rips the cover off the ball.
    Even when we are at home, he plays bowling on the floor in the basement. He calls it his "carpet Shark pattern". Priceless....

    As soon as the child can walk and has structure in their lives and can follow spoken direction, that is a good time!

    Also make it fun! The heck with the gutter balls or how many pins they can take down. Focus on form and getting the routine down pat!

    Carpet Shark Pattern... LOL! Sounds like an awesome Trick Shot pattern for Norm Duke to tackle!

    Bumper league you say? Sounds like fun! I should tell my sister about this. We took her oldest (6 years old) bowling a couple of weeks ago and he had a blast! The bumpers where broken on the lane we where on but he didn't do too bad! Around 40 was his average.

    Belmo's dad owned a alley. So that helps.
