Except for the time I miraculously won a local dads tournament, I suck at bowling. I usually depend on the bumpers they put up for my four year old to knock down pins. However, I enjoy rolling the black (or marbled green or electric yellow) ball throughout the year, particularly to beat the heat of summer. Now, my pal Scott Frager (who publishes Bowling Industry Magazine) tells me many of the country’s bowling centers have a Kids Bowl Free program till the end of summer. Sign up at the site so your kid can get 2 free games at your local bowling alley. The program also offers a Family Pass that entitles each adult member of the family to bowl 2 games a day for as little as $23.95 for the whole group. Merrily may you roll along.
