It’s not just a Monday night league where your father comes late after a few beers. No, not at all. To some it may seem that’s all it is, but I am here to prove to anyone who says otherwise that is not the case. Anyone can have an idea towards whatever they’d like, and that happens like clockwork. Most of my friends and family know how I feel about bowling and the way it has shaped

    Bowling has always been competitive for me. Whenever I would play with my friends or family I would always try to play my best, and that competition kept bowling interesting for me. After bowling for a while, my mom signed me up for an Etihad Airways Bowling Tournament. From the moment I walked in, I felt I was out of my league.
