    Cool Husban/Wife or Life Partners Bowling, Do you bowl in a leage with your life partner?

    It Wednesday night, me and my wife ( Cr8zyKatLady, Cindy to me ), just got home, we bowl together in this league (Rockwell, Tulsa, OK), and we bowl on the same team.

    I was just wondering if anyone else bowls with their partner on the same league, if yes, are you on the same team?? I know there are a couple of husbands and wives on our Rockwell league, like me and Cindy, but they are NOT on the same team. LOL

    So here is how Cindy and I are playing.

    Mondays, Cindy has a Ladies Only league, teammates are fiends and co-workers, I practice at same house while she shoot her league.

    Wednesday, We are both on the same team for our Rockwell league along with friends and co-worker, including TCCStudent

    Friday, I am on a Travel League, while she don't bowl at all, she some times comes out at watches,chats and stuff. Also TCCStudent in on my team.

    Cindy and I do enjoy playing together and helping each other out. We do not do Tournaments together, we tried, and she just does not like the pressure.



    So, do you bowl with your partner,
    if so, are you on the same team
    or do you get very competitive with your partner
    and how often to you bowl together.

    Just curious, Jerry Jeral

    Yep, our Rockwell Wednesday night is a required mixed, it my wife, me, TCCstudent, co-worker, and 4th guy, and if we sub my wife, it has to be a female, must have at least 1 of each sex on the team and use there score, either same sex sub or blind.

    I got Cindy hooked on bowling about 3 years ago (we been married for 10 years) and she likes it a lot.

    I've been trying to get my wife into bowling, but haven't had a ton of success. She's come to practice a few times and bowled for us in league a couple times this season, but she would still rather go play billiards or something else.

    My wife started bowling one year after I did, in the mid-eighties. We've pretty much bowled at least one league together ever since, though the parameters have changed since I retired a couple of years ago. Right now, I bowl a doubles league with her at noon on Wednesdays that is kind of an experiment since her average is about 5 pins below the league minimum, but the league officers agreed to let her in since her goal is to improve by bowling with better bowlers. I also bowl in an almost-scratch Trios league at noon on Thursdays, and a Senior Men's Travelling League at noon on Mondays. She bowls in a mixed handicap league at noon on Tuesdays (my golf day), and I'll often stop by and watch her after my round, or bowl in as a sub if the weather is bad for golf (rare in Las Vegas). During the summer, we bowl in a mixed handicap league on Tuesday nights with two friends of ours. One of our friends averages in the 240's, and is also my coach and golfing partner. That is a fun league that we both look forward to all year.

    I sub quite often in a trios league that seems to have a rule against spouses bowling on the same team. All of the couples in the league bowl on different teams.

    I've been trying to get my fiancee into bowling but she just doesn't like it. She subbed in a summer league last year with me, but we probably won't be doing that again.

    J Anderson I actually really like that idea. Sounds like some fun/friendly competition and get to know other couples!

    If you're near Fairfield, it's the School Community League. Mostly teachers and other folks with some sort of connection to the Westport school system but they're always ready to welcome new bowlers.

    Unfortunately that's quite a hike for me - I'm just south of Hartford. May be moving out towards that way (well, closer anyway) in a couple of years though.
