ever wanted to strangle another bowler?

Unfortunately, the only other bowler I have ever wanted to strangle is my husband...but, that's a very long story.

HUMMM,,, I am retired,,, got plenty of time,,, LETS HEAR IT!!!

from my perspective it was a clear lack of sportsmanship, and yes it sucked getting beat by a house ball, it didn't help that he was roaring drunk and spouting all kinds of profanities, i wasn't the only one ready to strangle him lol

Some people deserve to have a burlap bag thrown over their head and beaten about the head and shoulders with an old bowling pin. Just sayin'!

As long as you don't go into an Aslan inspired novella type post, we would love to hear it.

I'm in the same boat as Ron Clifton when it comes to stuff like this (http://www.bowl4fun.com/ron/tip8.htm). Although, I can understand it can be pretty annoying if the person who is getting lucky is also show-boating and talking trash. But it still won't help your game to get pissed off about it.

Luck is just a part of bowling though.....some days, your opponent just can't do anything wrong and will get strikes off the most ridiculous shots. Best thing you can do is ride it out with a smile on your face, and stay positive in regards to your own game. For me, bowling well is more important than winning, and it's harder to bowl well when you're getting pissed off about someone else (whether it's their luck, behavior, or whatever).

i'm pretty cool tempered, and i do not let my attitude interfere with my bowling, hell he beat me but i still bowled 1 of 9 200+ games shot throughout the whole night during that game so i'm not upset i bowled well, it was really just his unsportsman like actions that made me want to throw him in the pin barrel and start throwing 30 mph fast balls up the center

LOL...I don't know how he does that without the site timing out on him and it losing everything he's typed???

In a nutshell, my husband is the most NEGATIVE BOWLER I have ever encountered. This is difficult for me as I am a very positive thinking person. He is in most things....NOT bowling.

If he is scoring poorly, he grumbles to himself, but very LOUDLY. Sometimes with language I don't care for. Then if our team is behind in score around the 7th frame, he starts grumbling that "this game is lost".

I made him quit the fall/winter league at the half and replaced him with a friend of mine as I couldn't take the conversations that took place on the way home. Agreed to let him bowl the summer on conditions...1) no foul language that I can hear, 2) no temper tantrums, 3) no saying we've lost until it's mathematically impossible.

I must say that he has made great strides, and for the summer we probably only had 2 or 3 "incidents". So I guess I will let him bowl the fall/winter...lol. I just seem to bowl better when he's not bowling, but I guess this is good practice for me to bowl through adverse conditions.

Oh, and he's self-taught in most things and has excelled well, so he doesn't take to "suggestions" well, nor does he strive to learn more about the game in order to become a better bowler. So suffice it to say, that we don't look at bowling through the same eyes.

I could get down on some Of that. I like to think 90% of the people I bowl around could use a good windpipe shutting.

I was practicing yesterday and there was this guy that was bragging about winning 8 balls in the last year that makes me want to strangle someone I need some free balls
