Candlepin Bowling
« on: January 31, 2023, 12:21:42 PM »
I never went 'big ball bowling' until I moved to Florida  - I had no idea why in the Flintstones they were putting their fingers into the balls. What was that all about?

Whenever we go back to Massachusetts for a visit, a visit to the local bowling alleys is a requirement. My husband loves candlepin bowling as well now! It's bloody hard! I played in a league as a teenager and my team won 1st or 2nd, I can't remember. But I won a trophy for highest triple scoring game.  I suck so bad at at it now. HAHA.
