HOW MANY BOWLERS BOWL WITH THIR SON'S or DAUGHTERS ON LEAGUE??

[MICHAEL]

No, I don't bowl with them anymore as I had to move to Tampa (from Chicago) due to job issues. My kids still live in the Chicago area so I don't get to see them as often as I like. And it's probably been 30 years since I've been on a league that's given out trophies. Most people want more money and not a trophy.

I think trophy leagues have a place also. I know the seniors league I started out bowling on almost 4 years ago, was all trophies and award trophies! I think if more bowled for awards, maybe the price of bowling a league would come down. I know on that Seniors league, we paid, (and the price is still the same), $7.25 for 3 games! We even had a banquet at the end of the season when awards were given out. Maybe this should be another thread....

Too bad about you job, and being away from your kids

I have bowled with both son and daughter in leagues and in tournaments. Can proudly say have won doubles scratch and handicap with my daughter in our local Championship Tournament a couple of times. Placed in doubles with my son at our State Tournament. Never play favorites. We, my husband and I, bowl weekly with our daughter and our son is on the roster. Family team, sometimes a lot of fun and sometimes a lot of stress!! This is a tradition we have continued as I bowled with my mother in tournaments and leagues and my husband bowled with his father. Our oldest some bowled for awhile, but his work schedule prohibits his continuing. It's nice we have something to do together, share in accomplishments and have some fun!

WONDERFUL thing about bowling, if you have a reasonable amount of good health, Old, middle age, and young can enjoy it together!! You seem to have a wonderful family that bowls together!!

The one thing that I hate to see, in bowling is people getting to up tight about winning! It's all about having FUN! Shure, its Great to win, but the most important thing is GOOD BONDING, and fellowship with loved one's, and fellow bowlers!!

If I am having a less then stellar day, my wife does not give me grief,,LOL,,, she cheer's me up!! I am the same with her!! We all have our good, bad, and ugly days, hey,,,, its the nature of the beast!!

Just finished up a summer league with my youngest daughter. Was a good learning experience for her and now she is branching out on her own! She has decided that she is ready to bowl on her own youth league starting next Saturday.

My little go-getter has already went out and got herself a few friends who have agreed to be on her team...now if we can just convince the parents that it is a good investment....
