Publisher's Synopsis
My Angle to the Pocket is a compilation of essays on bowlers and bowling, written over the years for the Colorado Bowler newspaper. Some are humorous, some are thought provoking, and some may be just plain provoking. Bowling is a sport, and, as a sport, is a tempting target for some satire, humor, and a few well deserved shots at the powers that be. And bowlers are folks just like anyone else, really. They cheer the strikes and boo the splits. They comprise the range of society- truck drivers, mathematicians, scientists, homemakers, college students, and even an exotic dancer or two. This book is the author's "angle to the pocket," as he discusses bowling and bowlers, and maybe pricks a pin in a couple of pompous bubbles along the way.
