That the President bowls???? What? I came across this image while looking for something else bowling related. I wonder what his average is.

If I remember correctly, the bowling was one of those things that politicians do to show that they're just regular folks like us, and he barely made 100. Out of respect for the office, and the fact that this is a bowling forum I will refrain from further comments.

I think I know where you were heading with that. It's funny that, if your right, he just barely bowled 100. Kind of makes me sad that not only do we have a president who never served in the military but that he can't bowl a decent game. That makes me laugh, especially since there is the assumption that he is good at everything he does. Guess you can add bowling to the list of things he does poorly. I wonder if that was a house ball. Those don't look like house shoes.

They don't look used either.

Just googled it. He bowled an amazing.....37! He should have fixed up the white house lane and gone bowling there instead of going on golf trips. And that goes for the previous president too. From what I've read it's been abandoned since 9/11.

Those are rental shoes. But I agree with the sentiment that this is a bowling forum not a political one. Let's keep it that way.

So the Commander-in-Chief bowled a 37...wow, what a score. Bowling is clear not his game. But I agree maybe he should fix up the White House lanes and spend time there instead of the golf course. I bet he wished he could get a 37 in golf.

If those are rental shoes, what brand might they be?

[GeorgiaStroker]

He only bowled 7 frames, then got in trouble and had to make a public apology for saying he bowled like he was in the special olympics. I guess you could say he put that rental shoe in his mouth. lol Don't know if anybody bought them but the bowling center was auctioning of the entire lane along with the shoes and ball he used. proceeds going to the special olympics.

[TheSheibs]

How do you auction an entire single bowling lane? Where would you put such a thing like that up for auction? And....if you did buy it, where would you put one bowling lane?

[GeorgiaStroker]

According to the article they were selling the entire thing, both lanes 21 and 22, the ball return, 2 pinsetters, the chairs scoring table and all to the highest bidder, it was then to be dismantled and shipped to your location. It was up to you to have a place to put it.
