    Default Hey Guys ... New guy here

    Hey I am Nick and I just got into bowling. My parents who had bowled most of their lives decided to get back into it after a 8 year layoff. I guess they wanted to remember the good ole days, anyway they talked me into joining a mixed league this summer. I had never bowled before other than messing around at cosmic bowling or what not. I wasnt great , a 165 avg isnt to bad for a first timer but not great either, but i had a ton of fun with my parents. I am in my late twenties so its good getting to spend a lot of time with them. However now they have got me bowling in 2 or 3 leagues this fall, so I found some boards to get some advice and look for equipment so.......... HERE I AM nice to meet ya'll!!

    A 165 is a terrific starting average! The only hard part is living up to it from week to week!
