because I was never really any good - but it was always loads of fun!

The people in my bowling crew are mostly not good but that isn't the point. The point is to have fun! The ones who are less skilled revel in the success of people that actually can bowl well and those of us that are better than the others really cheer on the lessor bowlers whenever they do something even minorly well. It isn't really competitive and is just a group of friends out for the day to party.... if we do well then great! But the main point of it all is to have fun with friends. The party after the bowling lasts a lot longer than the actual bowling does.

I hope this new technique of mine does eventually "stick" because if not it just looks nice but isn't terribly effective.
