Bowlarama

That’s right, ten pin bowling has taken hold of New Zealand. Last night we held a team bonding social event at the local bowling alley in New Plymouth. Most of the office had either never bowled a game of ten pin in their life, or had only done so a few times before. So, having played a few frames in my years, I took the liberty to show them some tried and true techniques. Namely, the granny bowl method. After first watching one of the clinic nurses struggle to “throw” the ball down the lane, I informed her there was another method that was quite legal, ie the granny bowl. Simple stand at the end of the lane and roll the ball from between your legs. Legal? Well, maybe not in the truest sense. Fun to watch? Definitely! Successful? Well, let’s just say she was the only one to bowl two strikes in a row. I think that speaks for itself.
