Rocket, just thinking back ?? years. Too many to print. I was one of the 13 year olds who hung out at my local lanes. I got to know the better bowlers, as they were the ones who would practice all the time. I would bowl with them, or next to them and get tips. There were no certified Coaches then. The older guys taught the younger ones. Eventually, I was old enough to work at the lanes, cleaning up, picking up glasses, and mopping the lanes before leagues. We didn't use oil back then.
I see many younger teens at our local lanes today doing the same thing.
The advantage is that these teens, as I did, got a chance to bowl quite a bit and for little to no cost. I loved that time, and my parents always knew where I was. I was a bowling rat. In later teens, I got so bad, that I couldn't wait to drop a date off so I could get to the lanes, just to see who was there.
Yes that is how he is when his older brothers are around he bums rides from them if there is open bowling before I get home then I pick him up. His brother will hang with him if there is no one there Jordan knows, but ussaly a good friend of mine is there working on his game and bowls with him.
Owners of 2 of the houses he bowls in do not charge him to bowl or if busy half price so we are very lucky there.
