Go bowling!

Bowling is one of the most popular sports in the country. Yes, bowling is a sport and there are thousands of recreational leagues throughout the country, with many of them here in the lowcountry.

Bowling is popular and intergenerational - it can be played by the young and the old. It’s a fun family outing…and it’s a game you can win!

And with the inevitable heat that is already invading the lowcountry, bowling may just be the best activity around to beat the heat.

Just over the bridge in Mt. Pleasant, Pinz Bowling and More (formerly Sparians River Bowl) offers something for everyone, whether you are a bowling enthusiast or a bowling novice. From birthday parties for all ages, to corporate events, to school field trips, Pinz provides entertainment for a wide range of folks. And for those that have a passion for the game and want to compete, they offer leagues.

“We have leagues four nights a week, and league bowlers are a wide range of skill levels. The leagues are perfect for the commitment-phobe, since they only have to pay when they are here, and the seasons are short,” says Christy Strick, Group Sales and Events coordinator for Pinz.

Bowling is considered a sport and as with any sport, there are national and international competitions for the elite bowler. Just take a peek at the PBA (Professional Bowlers Association) website to view the many events that take place throughout the year. Currently there are about 70 pro bowlers on the tour, including both men and women from all over the country.

Regardless of your skill level, be it pro-status or novice, bowling is sure to provide family fun this summer. And don’t forget about the exercise factor. Bowling can burn up to 100 calories in 30 minutes. Wouldn’t you rather your son spend an hour bowling than playing X-box to beat the heat? And for mom and dad, on those hot, 90-plus degree days, skip the outside run and go bowling instead.

“Bowling is exercise and fun for anyone,” exclaims Strick, “it can be a family night, a date night, or a late night!”
