Last week I wrote about the new Bowling IQ. The new upscale training facility located in Michigan. I have had people comment about how cool this place is and that we (meaning bowlers) needed something like this. Well now that it’s here, what are you going to do about it? This week I would like to talk about the programs offered at Bowling IQ and the services they provide.
Bowling IQ is meant to be an educational facility designed to create excitement for the sport of bowling. This is accomplished in a number of ways. One of the objectives is to hang on to the existing bowlers in the sport by educating them to be able to compete at a higher skill level. Another focus is to get the new youth bowler excited about bowling. What happens when you’re excited about something? You tend to stick with it. This is what the sport of bowling needs. We need to go after the new bowlers and turn them into lifelong bowlers. By doing this we can create a stronger future of bowlers to come. Just look at the explosion of High School Bowling. With an increase of bowlers what does that do to the market place of bowling? It makes it stronger. I am sure the USBC will be happy for that. But they won’t be the only ones that benefit from it. The bowling centers will be able to have a stronger league base. The Pro shop operators will become more educated and be able to provide better results for the bowler. The bowlers themselves will become more educated and therefore create longevity in the sport of bowling. All in all it is a win-win situation for the whole sport of bowling.
So what does Bowling IQ offer the bowler? Well here is a list of services that they provide and trust me when I say this you will leave with more knowledge about this great sport of bowling then when you started. This was the whole concept behind why we started blogging. People are thirsty for knowledge and I want to be able to supply that. Bowling IQ is on the same path and will continue that path with every step they make.
