There is
much to be said for the game of bowling. Unlike cricket where one has to throw
a tiny ball and try to hit only three stumps and come up against an annoying
batsman who usually swats the ball away, bowling is thumpingly satisfying. The
ball is huge in comparison and it gives a sense of deep satisfaction to see ten
pins scatter in all directions should one score a strike. It can be even more
gratifying if one receives a trophy for the effort of winning a contest or
competition. Further, one does not need a whole team to go bowling. One can go
alone or one can go with friends and have a good time indoors, away from the
cold wind or hot sun. It can be a great idea to include bowling should you be
celebrating a birthday or any such event.
Get
together your family and pop the idea. You can just as well get your friends to
agree to visit a bowling alley with you and throw in a lure such as free dinner
or drinks. Who could possibly refuse that? Make it even more interesting by
getting one of those ten pin trophies available online for a song and keep it hidden until it
is time to bestow it on the winner, much to his delight.
Announce
that you are holding a competition and get your friends to participate. Shared
experiences do help in building stronger bonds. So book a bowling alley,
preferably one with 8 or more bowling lanes and set up the competition. Set out
in the evening and get the friendly competition under way. Interlace it with
food and beverages and you will never notice how time flies. Someone or the other
is bound to win. When you gather for dinner, announce the winner and bring out
the trophy. You can be sure everyone will be surprised and the winner will be
pleased as punch to be publicly honoured with a token of his superlative
skills. You could even hold a competition between you and your girlfriend and
magnanimously let her win. The trophy follows to win her heart.
A bowling
trophy does not cost a lot, especially when it is sourced online. It looks
great and the one who wins it can show it off with pride. Who knows, it may
even motivate him to participate in regular championships.
