To many people, when they think of bowling and golf, they think of the word hobby. It is just something you go play on the weekends that takes little to no skill. I play both of theese sports for Kennedy, so I know that both of them take determination and practice, just like any other sport out there. No, they are not the two most physical sports you can play, but both require a lot of accuracy.
In bowling, it isn't just about throwing the ball down the lane anywhere. It is a careful science of hooking the ball into the pocket. You do this by hitting a board, your mark on the lane, just one inch wide. Then, you have to calculate how many boards left or right you need to move your feet to pick up the spare, and hit the same mark again. If you miss your one inch mark you have a good chance of missing the spare.
Golf is all about patience. You drive the ball off the tee and try to hit it far while still being accurate on the spot you want. Golf is good because if you misshit a ball every once in awhile, you can make up for it by making a good recovery shot. It takes time to fine tune your swing, and determine which clubs you need to hit for each different shot.
Both sports are all about practice, so I think they should be taken seriously. I often get laughed at for not play the most popular sports, but both of the sports I play for school do take some serious work.
