Just to be devil's advocate sort of... let's disagree. (I actually could agree also...but just for argument's sake......)

I think Bowling is HARDER, mainly because you KNOW you're going to avg 200-225 when you're in the upper percentile of bowlers. Only problem is, you KNOW you're going to have a "miscue" somewhere along the line, just "when" is the question hanging over your head.
I agree it's easier to control and less things to worry about, but to concentrate enough to repeat it as well as adapt to the lanes, is in itself a challenge.
Golf, you can miss a little to the left or to the right and still get around. (similar to a spare). You can still end up in a hazard with no hope of recovery unless you get lucky...(similar to a split).
So with every delivery equal to a swing, I would have to say they are pretty equal in overall difficulty. :nodsmiley

ok, debate away>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
