The bowling
alley is a place that caters for everyone - from parties for kids, fun
school holiday activities and even your work party - so
you're bound to see a wide array of bowlers getting up and having a go at the pins. Some
even fit into what we could think of as bowling stereotypes.
Are you one
of these bowling personalities?
The
competitor
This
enthusiastic bowler wants to beat everyone and everything around them, and
won't settle for anything less. These serious players keep their eye on the
prize and don't allow distractions to come between them and the leader
board - and if someone does happen to beat them, it could be hard to pull
them out of a dark mood afterwards.
The
comedian
Often your
crazy uncle or dad, the comedian doesn't care about winning: they're there to
entertain! From pretending to slip over on the oiled lane, 'accidentally'
dropping the bowling ball on their toes or bowling straight into the gutter on
purpose, this casual player will have their whole team in stitches.
The
sulk
Whether it's
a 'gutter ball' or missing one pin off that elusive strike, this player always
has a reason to be grumpy - unless, of course, things go their own way. Sitting
with folded arms and a scowl, this player needs to be reminded that bowling is
all a bit of fun!
The
fluke
There's
always the one. Despite never having played before, this alley rookie manages
to pull out five strikes and win the game - it's GOT to be luck that they beat
you, right?
The
one who tries
On the other
hand, not everyone is quite so naturally gifted. It seems that this player just
can't get the hang of bowling that ball! Not to worry - AMF bowling alleys have
special ramps to help players out with their aim, so grab one and watch your
score skyrocket!
