Let’s Go Bowling

According to Wikipedia, Bowling is a sport in which players attempt to score points by rolling a bowling ball along a flat surface, usually a wooden or synthetic surface, either into pins or to get close to a target ball. Bowling is an anaerobic type of physical exercise, similar to walking with free weights. Bowling helps in burning calories and works muscle groups not usually exercised. Apart from the physical benefits it also has psychosocial benefits, strengthening friendships or creating new ones in groups.

Well Bowling has changed in the past few years! It’s not your Uncle Bob’s bowling any more. Bowling centers are doing a great job jazzing it up to attract the hipster crowd. Yep, bowling is cool! The sport itself is still the same, but the venues and fun has been kicked up quite a bit.
