Small town bowling alleys

Sounds interesting, just like 5 pin, candlepin, and duckpin bowling

I did a search on Craigslist for "bowling"just to see what would pop up and turns out you can buy your own bowling alley!

Yeah 9-Pin bowling has a completely different scoring system than 10-pin. The pins are set into a diamond configuration and each team has six bowlers, each of which gets two balls to knock down as many pins as possible. If the first bowler doesn't knock down all the pins, the next bowler has to try to clean them up before they can throw at a fresh rack. If they fail to do so with two balls, it goes to the third bowler, etc. The pins are places further apart than a 10-pin rack, so it makes striking harder. You can also get what's called a ringer, where you leave the center pin only. That scores 12 points. I've only bowled 9-Pin a couple of times, so I'm sure I'm leaving something out. It sounds weird, but it's actually a lot of fun.

New one on me, never heard of it before.

that is not too bad of price to pay to bowl a game, my local center they want $7.00 a game

I bowl in a town of 2000 and they have an 8-lane house that's great....grew up there and was where I learned to bowl.
