    I recently got back into bowling after a 15 year absence. The last league I bowled in I held a 185 average. So I have been back into it for almost 30 days now. I have purchased 4 new balls. 2-15# and 2-16# and 2 new pairs of bowling shoes. My average so far for the first month is 169. I have a long way to go and have found out that I can't bowl more than 3 times a week. I have developed a serious pain in my forearm sometimes after I bowl, that I never experienced before. Anyway, I'm pretty confident I can get back to the 185 average within 4 months. My goal is to be at the 190 average by the end of the year.

    I don't feel so bad now! My girlfriend got me started bowling about 2 months ago, and I already own 4 balls. Guess I'm not doing that bad. LOL

    This thread was hilarious although I can definitely see myself going down the same path.

    I get funny looks in the house any time I say the word "bowl." I could be talking about a dish in the house, but NOOOOO... I have to be talking about "bowl-ing" and get the nasty looks immediately. Welcome to the club. Have fun and keep in thought that it is a day by day progression and setbacks.

    I don't see a problem. Of course the spinner and de-oiler are not pictured.
