Bowling is a great way to escape this crazy summer heat!
In the scorching heat of summer, it can be hard to find a way to cool down and have fun indoors. Sure, a person can shop/go to the mall/sit at a bar for hours on end… but many people like to engage in an actual activity rather than walk or rest. What is an often overlooked activity that can be used to pass plenty of time on a hot summer day? Bowling. Bowling is considered one of our nation’s favorite pastimes and is a great way to get away from the house, but stay in the air conditioning for a few hours.
Whether a person is just looking to spend time with their family or that person is looking to be competitive, bowling is a great activity for friends and family alike. People can take their families to a bowling alley and enjoy some quiet games with the kids. If the kids are young enough, the bowling alley can even activate bumpers on the lanes so there are no gutter balls. If children get bored bowling, there are often small arcades in bowling alleys as well. There is something about bowling for people of all ages.
If a person wants to be competitive, bowling is also a great way to pass the time. Bowling alleys often have a few nights a week that are reserved for league nights. Bowling leagues are usually multi-week commitments and there are leagues for any type of person. Whether a person wants to join a church league, a beer league, or a work league, there is a league for everyone. Leagues often meet at the same time, on the same day, every day for about ten weeks. There is a fixed price, and often the price includes a pizza or other snack and a pitcher of beer or soda, depending on the league. Leagues range from extremely competitive to casual, and there are often prizes and trophies at the end of the league.
Bowling is a great way to cool off during the dog days of summer, and it also has the added bonus of being good exercise. Whether a person is looking to get their way with her family, or get away from her family, bowling is an activity that everyone can enjoy. From young to old, from men to women, from rich to poor, bowling is an activity that has been bringing people together for decades.
