I bowled once a month or so for many years when I lived in New England. Since I moved, no. It was candlepin. I have bowled regular before.

I like it.

Candlepin is with a smaller ball and the pins are like sticks. Not easier than regular bowling.

I've been bowling on several occasions. Not very good, I'm afraid. My high is probably somewhere in the 110s-120s. Pretty fun game, if you ask me.

Ah, I love bowling!

I am not very good but it's great fun.

I think my high score would be around 150.

They have bowling down in Australia? wow, im starting to like Australia more and more every day.

My bowling tip of the day, though I cant guarantee it will work for anyone except myself because noone bowls like i do: stand all the way to the left (if you are right handed), so instead of pulling the ball in towards your body you are pushing the ball away from your body. I, personally, get more control of the ball that way. To me, this is the best way to bowl unless you can spin the ball, which is very difficult and I could never dream of doing.
