I will pick A. Financial problems


Because bowling in Singapore here cost a lot. About $2.50-3+ for a game.

So I normally only can play Wii bowling at my cousin house just next door, Facebook Bowling Buddies or just practice my bowling form in my house.

I have never considered giving up bowling completely. There are always ways to work on your game, even at home. I work on my first and second step with my push away at my house all the time. Thats free bowling work, and it really translates well to the lanes. Those steps are probably the most important in the game, without them being the same every time there is no way everything else can fall into place correctly.

I gave up bowling for 1 season. That was because my wife and I had twins then I had ACL surgery. Unless the other knee goes out, not quitting again.

Yeah, like sk8, I couldn't give it up completely. Only thing that would hold me back would be an injury. When waiting on an elevator here at work, I'll do something productive. Wrist wind/unwind or swing.

Same here, only an injury or health related issue could get me to stop bowling. It's the one thing I have real talent and skill at (not at the highest level of course) and I just absolutely love doing it.

I work at a bowling alley and some times i get so tired of going there that I wanna give up completely but I'm so passionate about becoming a better bowler that I just suck it up and have a beer.

I see people bowl 5 leagues a week and they're there just as much as me so I have no excuse.

I gave up bowling once, I had only bowled for two halves, second halve of one season and first half of the next when I stopped. It was financial as well as a relationship I was in at the time. Actually the relationship was the financial issue. She was in college 2 hours away and I started to visit every weekend. That can get expensive and gas wasn't anywhere near the price it is now. When that relationship ended around a year or so later I came back to bowling after talking to some old teammates(well they were relatives) that were still in the same league and had an open spot.

Now it would be injury or money problems, and I've fought through some bad periods of not working much and still paid for two leagues. I did take a break last summer and haven't bowled much this summer. This year is just being lazy about getting to the center. The closest one I have to pay $5 a game so try to avoid it and I rarely feel like driving over to the one I know is cheaper since I bowl league there.

That's cheap around here. In fact in many centers that's as cheap as it gets if you are a league bowler. Many of our centers are over $5/game.

But if you don't have it you don't have it. I understand. You have to establish priorities in your budget.

i feel like quitting when my knee swells up and its hard to have a nice slide to the foul line

Having back and hip trouble is no fun. Having Doctors who banter about the remedy with no result is frustrating. Bowling is no fun, when you can't do what you know you can do. If, I don't get my medical troubles solved over the Summer, I don't see me bowling in the Fall. But, my plans are in place should I do.

So, fingers are crossed, and every medical option is being pursued.
