Bowling for Dad

Fifty States, Fifty Lanes
Author Mike Walsh's father had a dream to play handball in all 50 states. When Walsh the elder died unexpectedly, Walsh the younger set out on a quest to bowl his way across America. Walsh tells the story of his cross-country odyssey and the interesting people he met along the way in his book, Bowling Across America: 50 States in Rented Shoes.

If after reading this book, you are interested in learning the game, here are some suggestions to get you started:

And of course, don't forget to learn and enjoy the game locally at family friendly East Hampton Lanes.
