well, golf is more exp then bowling.
S&M sounds good.
I'm also learning as a bowler lah. Picked up the sport since 21. Started playing hook ball when I saw Remy Ong bowl more than 11 yrs ago. Was damn impressed with his ball reaction. He was already very good then.
Pool is fun. But to play in league, will be too pi seh. Its more of an individual sport. While bowling, we flop & luff at each together, so, its okie. keekee.
