    Very much so. I can breathe when I step outside in the summer. Humidity levels here during the day are anywhere from 5%-15%.

    Not anymore approaches are too tacky. One bad plant and knee or hamstring could get hurt. Also old body need time to rest up for the next season. Vacation time is nice too.

    I know when I lived in south Miami the humidity down there was terrible also but I
    did love living almost right on the beach just a stones throw from the ocean maybe
    that is why the humidity was so high.

    Short answer--no. Long answer, practiced by myself and did two clinics. Worked with my coach every three weeks. Bowled in one sport league as well.

    Prefer to bowl all year round - that way I don't have to get my body back to bending, stretching, and my timing stays more intact. Also, typically use my Friday morning league to implement some changes I want to work on and/or getting to know what ball is capable of doing what on certain conditions. Summer always seems to have more varying conditions due to the extreme heat, fans, then some humidity, and then back to dry. Also, the alley sometimes changes the conditioner/oil that they use for the summer. On Mondays, it's more competitive, so not so much practicing/playing around. Use this one for focus/concentration practice. And flex league bowls 24 weeks off 2-4 weeks and then 24 weeks, so not really summer- more like May to October/December to April

    I even hate to miss 10 days when we do vacation, as it seems my body takes forever to get back into the swing of things.
