Review-Scotch Doubles Bowling

A hearty group of parishioners, family and friends headed out to Charger Lanes for a fun night of bowling on January 21st. Some were experienced bowlers, others hadn’t bowled in decades and some were bowling for the first time. Regardless of experience, Scotch Doubles has it’s challenges so sitting on the floor, helping others off the floor, standing like statues and bowling backwards were all part of the fun.
