One of the things about GLBT leagues and tournaments that is different from most others is that we raise funds for local charitable organizations every week in our leagues and during our tournaments. Bowlers stepped up to help other community leaders raise money and organize services in dozens of communities. We have continued our commitment to raising funds for our communities. This year, as we plan IGBO 2001, we have carried on that tradition. Now, that is a fun question.
Some bowlers do enjoy their beer or cocktails during leagues and tournaments.
I have noticed that some seem to bowl better after a beer or two, while others wait until the bowling is done before celebrating. Bowlers have been throwing hooks for a long time and GLBT bowlers are no different. The technology incorporated into lane and ball design has made many things possible with practice. You have to be comfortable, keeping in mind that your body will warm as you go through the day, especially the day you bowl the singles and doubles events, when you bowl six games. There are nearly as many preferred styles as there are bowlers, including wearing shorts, even in the dead of winter.
