Thread: New Member from California

    Default New Member from California

    I've already started responding to posts but thought I would introduce myself officially.

    Ive been bowling for about 18months. I am 36. I picked up bowling after I had knee surgery. I love sports but this injury was gonna pretty much end that. Bowling was something I could do that didn't involve a lot of twisting or impacts. I bowled with my little bro and had a lot of fun as that was the first activity I was able to do. came back home and found myself wanting to go bowling again. I was taking my dad almost everyday for a couple weeks when the manager at bowling alley signed us up for a league. I grabbed my wife and aunt to complete the team. I bought my first ball and shoes a couple weeks later.

    21 balls, 7 bags, and 3 shoes later, Im completely hooked. Ive been a part of motocross boards and was looking for a bowling equivalent to fill that social sharing of ideas and experiences.

    Welcome Josh. Good to hear you've got something to fill your passion for sports as well as a great outlet to discuss the sport. Always a pleasure to connect with many bowlers, both locally here in the Philly area as well as across the continent - and the world - online, especially here at BowlingBoards.com
