    Now you're talking my language. A bowler too, eh? I pretty much dumped bowling when I fell in love with pool a couple of years ago. However, when I did bowl, I won my fair share of pot games and scratch league money :) I love pool, but the one thing pool doens't have is that glorious sound of a revved up reactive resin ball ripping through a rack! When that ball fips on the back end and takes a dead left turn on a beeline for the 1-3, the pins just disappear like they were never there. And that sound... :) Cheers, Tom Archer Author - Inside C#, Visual C++.NET Bible Please remember to keep this for tax purposes.

      I rarely bowl anymore, but I've still got the ol' 16 pounder in the closet. There's no sound quite like that of a high speed, clean strike! I have two bowling alleys here - one across the river in a casino, the other about the same distance the other way, yet I've only bowled once while living here. None of the folks I hang out with bowl, so it's kinda dull. What I really should take up is golf! We have more golf courses here than schools, and everyone I know is an avid golfer. But I can't get over the feeling that golfing would be just an expensive way to ruin a nice walk in the park. "What is it?" and he said, "I don't know. Let's kill it." - Ed Gadziemski

I've got a nice set of Ping Eye 2 irons, but just don't have a great feel. Then again, I've only played about 3 times. It's like your situation with bowling. I don't have any friends that golf and it's *definitely* boring without a friend. Cheers, Tom Archer Author - Inside C#, Visual C++.NET Bible Please remember to keep this for tax purposes.
