Bowling in Collingwood

 A Snowman in Collingwood
We planned to go skiing in Collingwood and checked in at our hotel.

Our friends came over to visit us at the resort. We had not seen our friends for a little while so I prepared a quick dinner for the five of us at our suite. Er. seemed to like talking to D. and his brother. After a quick store bought chicken dinner, we headed for a game of bowling at the Bowling place.
5 Pin Bowling in Collingwood

It was strange that we have been going to Collingwood for a long time since the boys were small, but we had never gone bowling until now. I was more surprised when Doug told me that he had never gone bowling at all and he has been living in this town all his life!!!







We were unable to get a lane before 8p.m. so we went for the 9:30p.m. lane. It was 5 pin bowling.
5 Pin Bowling can be as fun as 10 Pins
A bowler could get a game for $ 7.00 or you could get a lane for an hour for $40.00. which we thought was a better deal.









We could easily get two games per bowler out of an hour and 15 minutes for which we paid extra. We found that 5 pin bowling is not easier than 10 pins. In fact 5 pin bowling is just as challenging.

During the first game, everyone did not do as well and Doug was skeptical about the experience as he had never done it.





However, as the game progressed, he seemed to be enjoying it more especially when he was able to have a spare and everyone was giving him the high five!

Getting a strike!














E. seemed to enjoy the game and was the most consistent in his scores. He came second in the first game short of a few points but came up the first scoring much higher than his first game.Doug came last out of the five of us in the first game. He improved a lot during our second game. As a matter of fact, he was not the one with the lowest score at the end of the game, I was!

We paid for the extra 10 minutes to finish our second game. Though we were the last bowlers in the bowling alley, the friendly staff person at the front desk waited for us to finish our game without hurrying us out of there. Great service and we definitely will be back to play more games there!
