Why Bowling and Beer Go Together

My idea of a good time on Friday night was not to get on a bowling league. It would be to go home, kick back and chill out with a Bud Light, but guess what... I got on a league. UGH

This was all my hubby's doing cuz his whole family bowls... and has like... FOREVER. I however never have. So with a shitty attitude about it, I give it a whirl. Did I mention my son can and does kick my butt. He has been bowling since he was 4 and his high game is a 288!

My first year wasn't bad, kept the ball on the alley. That's good right? Well I did also get my first 200 game and a 500 series. I don't suck so bad after all. I know people who have bowled for years, I mean 15 yrs. who have never bowled a 200 game. I can tell you it's not skill, believe me, it luck... PURE ASS LUCK!

Everyone wants to be a coach to you too. Some you take the advise, others you blow off. Now for the top 10 Lessons of how to bowl.

Lesson 1: drink a few beers before you bowl to loosen up. (loosen up or fall over?)

Lesson 2: take a deep breath before your approach. (I breath all the time. what's an approach?)

Lesson 3: take 3 steps and then slide.

Lesson 4: don't walk to fast. keep in time.

Lesson 5: keep your eye on your mark. (what mark? there's marks out there?)

Lesson 6: follow through after you release the ball. (what am I following?)

Lesson 7: keep your shoulders square, don't drop your shoulder. (will I fall over or something?)

Lesson 8: don't throw the ball to hard. (don't the pins fall down better this way?)

Lesson 9: squeeze your butt check. (this helps get the sexy backside? OK)

Lesson 10: use the 3, 5, 7 rule. (what does that mean?)

What the HELL!! That's alot to remember in like 3 seconds. My brain can't think that fast after having a few beers. 2 is my quota for an evening. Probably couldn't pass the breath-a-lizer either.

Now I've tried all the lessons sober and buzzed. I don't think it makes any difference. You either SUCK  or you don't. Some people I know blame the ball, the land conditions, or whatever else they can think of as to why they aren't bowling well. That's not it at all.... YOU JUST SUCK! So if your gonna suck, just drink more as then you won't remember any of it.

O... I also learned a couple of things to... a 140 average is just average and that's why you drink beer when you bowl. The 2 just go together.
