Maddy the Bowler

 

Maddy has taken a liking to bowling, which comes as no surprise because it's kind of our family game. As far back as I can remember, the Mano'o family has bowled together since we were young. I could never beat my mom in the first game and Dad would be super competitive even if none of the rest of us were. We all enjoyed a family outing to the bowling alley, or bowling centers as they like to be called nowadays.

Since I spend more than an average amount of time in our local bowling alley, Maddy tends to tag along when he can. He has a unique technique, where he spins the ball in the wrong way for a left-hander. He spins it from right to left and despite my attempts to teach him the more accepted left to right technique he ultimately reverts back to his own way of bowling.

I don't blame him, he's had quite a bit of success with it.

We start our Father/Son league in a couple of weeks and we are both looking forward to it!

  1. I reckon, I can't remember a time when our family didn't go bowling! Remember bowling in Ethiopia?!? I still laugh thinking about those poor boys having to jump up and down to reset the pins - classic.
    Maddy has a pretty impressive technique. His approach and follow through is awesome. Seems to work pretty well for him. He might have to give Uncle Mark some pointers - he's a lefty too!
