So Dx doesn't like golfing...and others don't like bowling...Damn haters lol.


I like and am actually pretty good at golf. Meatstick and I had a row a while back as to which is a more skillful game. I made the point that both games are heavily reliant on muscle memory and technique so it wouldn't be farfetched to say they take similar amounts of skill.

@jbell I wanted to go curling over break but my friends on the east side of Michigan were being major downers.

The argument went way beyond muscle memory. You claimed that the conditions at INDOOR bowling alleys have just as much affect as the conditions outdoors. The discussion itself was about difficulty of each sport, and I was knocking your points down like bowling pins

Golf > Curling > Bowling

Bowling is for the chimps

They pick their same spot every shot except spares. The only thing that changes is the amount of oil in the lane. The ball curves more over time as it dries.

Anything else is so insignificant it won't change the game at all. I love this discussion from 2 years ago

Lol. Like I said. You don't have enough knowledge to make this argument. The majority of the "points" you made were just wrong at any level higher than going out to drink and throw a few games with friends. It's like golfing at a 9 hole par 3 and thiinking you know golf.

isn't there a very limited amount of scenarios a bowler can find themselves in?

No sir. Plane is about to take off or I'd say more lol. If you're bowling alone yes it's limited. But when you bowl with other people all sorts of shit can go down with the oil and approach which makes every shot different.
