Hey, there are people in wheelchairs who can throw good shots.

The great thing about bowling is that anyone who can roll the ball down the lane can play. How many other sports have players ranging in age from 5 to 105?


Yup that's how he did it.

Used to see this guy in a wheel chair, I'm guessing with his lady friend at Brunswick Zone all the time. Don't bowl there that much anymore though...

Yeah there's definitely a wide range of people in the bowling world lol!

I've seen a lot of different approaches. But, the ones that really confuse me are the people who spot their left toe in place. Lift the ball, and take a step to the side. Then wonder why they were off target.

They probably do it because it worked a couple of times and they decided to make it their approach. Yet a few more people fall victim to waiting for the lanes or perfect conditions for them.

NewYorkDave, my current Monday night team captain is in a wheelchair and throws the most consistent ball I've yet to see. He's also my coach.

As far as approaches go, another Monday night teammate of mine has this cousin. She's 20 and it looks like a horse galloping to the line. Takes about 9 steps and then has a reverse curve for a righty.
