    My wife and I bowl together on the same team on Friday Nights, mixed league. I started her out on Summer League to see if she liked it. We've been bowling together, just on Friday nights, for 3 years or so now. No more Summer Leagues though. Schedules, and Summer don't work well together for us.

    This sounds just like us, we were sitting around on spring day, and said to each other, "we need to meet other couples". I suggested Bowling league, I bowled a lot in the 90s but quit about 95 and wanted to get back into it.

    She agreed to do a summer early league, so we got her a cheap ball, and it just getting better every year. That was about 3years ago also.

    Now we just spent $675 on new balls for me and her, LOL, she just got a 12lbs Storm IQ Fusion.

    There is a few couples on our Wednesday night league where the wife is easily the better bowler in the family.

    I wish my wife would get into like me. She goes with me for fun every once in a while, but nothing serious.

    I bowl in a serious league one night a week, no women are allowed. However, I have taken my wife open bowling 4 times. I purchased her a new pair of bowling shoes before the first experience. She did not like it, but was good sport. The last game of the fourth trip to the bowling center she bowled----------------------wait for it--------------------a game that broke 100. I was relieved she did this. I coached her up and then told her I loved her and that we would go again when she wanted. Still waiting.

    I think my wife enjoys bowling as much as Iceman does! She is in the top 4 or 5 female bowlers in the two leagues we bowl on together. Its Cool bowling with her,,,, we both got started late in life, but believe me we are making up for lost time!!! ICE

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

    You might want to investigate getting a replacement for TCCStudent, who might not be able to afford bowling for a while.

    Rumor has it, he recently pissed away his life savings on a bad gamble.

    You can have a serious competitive league with women. We have a few very good women bowlers around here. Hell we even have one that was a college bowler.
