I've talked about my bowling career before. I "retired" from bowling about nine years ago with a book average of 200. I live in a small community, and hold a few house records for women: scratch series 750, average 200, and I was the first woman ever in town to shoot a scratch 700 series (big fish, small pond). I bowled for twenty years winter and summer. I'm naturally left handed, and bowled left handed with a hook. I play golf right handed, which I'm told is an advantage. I've always been in athletics of some sort, softball, bowling, now golf. By far, golf is the most difficult sport I've ever attempted. I seriously doubt I'll ever see a single digit handicap, but I guess it could happen.

The corellation I see between the two sports is the hand-eye coordination and the importance of dynamic balance. For women bowlers especially, and I would imagine this would translate into golf, our real power comes from our legs. Both sports are games of angles as is the game of pool.

Another reason I love golf is that is smells so much better than bowling!
