Hey, y'all! My name is Kayley Johnson. I am a Sophomore at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke, and I love to bowl. I have bowled competitively since I was 10 years old, and it is something that runs in my family.
Both of my great grandmothers, my great great aunt, and my grandfather all have a history of bowling, and they were really good at it too. My great uncle, who has bowled in professional tournaments, owns the bowling alley in Lumberton, NC, where I am from, and my mom and her sisters grew up bowling kind of like I have. Throughout my almost 10 years bowling, I have had the chance to bowl in several tournaments throughout North and South Carolina and meet and even bowl alongside some of my favorite professional bowlers.
My hope with this blog is that I can share some of the love and joy I get from the sport through sharing all that is happening in the bowling world. I will be highlighting some of my own bowling endeavors, along with what is happening in the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) and Professional Women's Bowling Association (PWBA). I will also relay any bowling news that comes out such as new bowling ball releases. I hope that through this blog, I will be able to do enough justice to the sport that y'all can gain a deeper understanding, and maybe even interest, in what the sport has to offer.
I had no idea that you did bowling tournaments! I love to go bowling, but I am probably no where near as good as you are. I can't wait to hear some of your stories.
ReplyDeleteWow! A family of bowlers. That's amazing! I love that you decided to continue the family legacy. Also, we should all plan a day to go play one day, it'll be fun to play against a professional.
ReplyDeleteKayley, how cool! I'm from Lumberton as well so I have some fond memories of your family's bowling alley as well! I actually also come from a family of bowling champs, though I didn't inherit quote as much of my family's talent as you did yours!
