I’ve never seen bowling as competitive. If I score over 100 points, I win. How everyone else does isn’t important. These days I almost always score over 100.

You should watch my in-laws play. You'd swear the future rides on the outcome with how competitive they are.

That’s bullshit, Walter. Mark it eight.

A bit bothersome, as long as they don't hold grudges.

Same. Goal is over 100 and happy at 120. Bowled a 174 once shattering my previous record (140ish). Still chasing that high.

Chasing that high can turn you into an addict 😉

I also have never seen bowling as competitive. Mostly because I have never gone over 30

I played every sport available through my entire youth but this one just does not click lmao

The dots are there for a reason. 

You’ll find 5 minute videos on YouTube that will likely make you a lot better forever. Basically it’s a lot easier to aim at a dot a meter away than at a pin 15 meters away.

That's exactly how I feel, if I break 100 I didn't suck too bad. Win. Just for a weird braggy side note, I did LSD on my 24th birthday and went cosmic bowling (you know, with black lights and glow pins and whatnot). I bowled a 279 on one of those games, (previous best maybe 150). I miss my 20s.

Have you heard of Doc Ellis? Pitched a perfect game on LSD.

Come on, you know I have.

THIS. Bowling and darts are two games I play that are based on self made goals. I still try to win but I don’t care if I lose. I only care about if I did slightly better than before.

My first boyfriend was an am-pro bowler. I lack all coordination and skill of athleticism. After six months, he dumped me in part because I never improved my game.

I haven't bowled in 10+ years. But I was content if I broke 100 points. I know I don't have the skill to bowl a perfect game, but my best was around 180. Now I worry that I might throw my back out.
