    Default Bowling is like crack

    You spend $10 to get a few rocks (games), then in a half hour you are done and are fiending for more.


    Its takes a fortune to get good at it.

    Get a part time job at the alley or become a volunteer coach in the youth league. Most centers give a discount for those things.
    I get free open bowling for coaching the youtth program. It's a nice perk but one I wasn't expecting. A few weeks ago the owner said how happy he was with how I am with the kids and asked if I would help him set-up and run a "learn to bowl" program. As soon as I said yes he said he would pay for me to attend the Silver coaching certification seminar. I love that place!

    Our open bowl price for non-league members is $4/game, league members $2.50/game

    Slightly off topic i know, but here in australia, most open play is $10 - $12 private centres and higher from AMF centres. League practice rates vary from $3 in some private centres to $5.50 for AMF centres.
