Fellas, if they can put "Fowling" in an old hardware store, we should combine forces and open the country's second Feather Bowling bar. Looks like a perfect bar for Downtown Independence

I posted this a year or three ago-
I had not paid attention to the "Sport" for a couple of decades. Was flipping thru the channels one day and bowling was on. Had a choice between that and corn hole. I about had a cow when I saw those pro guys rolling with both hands. Had no idea that was a thing |

Ive been away from bowling for about 15 years. I was a yaba member as a kid. I was surprisingly competitive for someone who didnt take it that seriously. I had just shy of 15k of scholarship money when I tore my knee out playing football my jr year. Id been to several witchita state camps. And was supposed to go to college there to be on the bowling team.
My high score was a 269 at age 13-14 I rolled enough strikes in a row for a 300 just not all in one game unfortunately. It was a tricky oil pattern and I ended up switching to my spare ball from my ultimate inferno halfway through. Id never been so nervous about a decision in my life but strikes 4 and 5 hit Brooklyn. And foot and finger adjustments werent slowing the arc down. The two local alleys to me have closed down but I plan to get back in it in a year or two when my son gets in jr high and Im not coaching all of his teams. |

My favorite bowling story was with a group of friends. The first game hurt my shoulder or wrist, so I decided to bowl the next game left handed. I’d previously only thrown a couple frames lefty in my life. My first throw is a bad gutter ball. My friend looks at me and asks what the hell I’m doing. I spared the frame and ended up with a 218 kicking everyone’s ass.

I bowled a lot when I was younger. I was in Saturday morning leagues for years and years. I lost interest around high school.
Ended up taking a bowling class in college and I dominated. They handed out awards at the end of the year and I took home all of them. I don't remember my high score but was in the 260s. Last edited by TLO; 06-16-2024 at 11:44 AM.. |

There wasn't a bowling alley in the KC area I didn't bowl in from age 6 to 18...one of my favorites was at the Antioch Shopping center. Could bowl in the tourney in the morning and hang out there all day until my Dad would pick us up. On the way home we would stop at Bena's Burgers for their big freaking hamburgers and the large order of fries. And...if we had behaved we got to get a large chocolate shake. Damn those were some fun days. BTW......until about 5 years ago I used to have all my old bowling shirts from as far back as my youth. Also...my high game is 279 and the magic 300 has always eluded me. My high series was 718. |

When I was working at King Louie International they had the King Louie Open there in KC. I got to meet several of the PBA bowlers when they brought them by the office......that's when I got to meet Guppy Troup, Kyle's dad.
Met a lot of the bowlers during my time working there...and one of my favorites was Johnny Petraglia. He just seemed like a pretty nice guy. By the time I had met him he was late into his career, but was always just as congenial as could be. But there were some bowlers who were big names at that time that were not as nice as their image on the TV. PS- never been a big fan of Pete Weber or Marshall Holman. |

As an adult, I also bowled leagues at Capitol Bowl (Hickman Mills), Loma Vista, Strike and Spare on 40 Hwy and there was a place on 50 highway in Raytown that I can't remember the name (Not Premier. This was an older house, north of Raytown Rd).

I think I've gone bowling 2-3 times in the last 25 years and always had a fun time.
Just don't have any friends that bowl and itcs always related to a work outing. I'm not any good but I have fun, especially the drinking part.
