What is FOWLING? Harder than it looks!

When I'm not around motorbikes, it's nice to get some activity. This past weekend we hung out with friends and tried a new concept called Fowling. Just like bowling, you throw a regulation size football at ten pins and the first "team" to knock them ALL down wins the game. Simple enough? Not so fast! One game can last an hour+ because apparently throwing a football 40 yards (or more) isn't as easy as you'd think. I'm not sure why the boards were so far apart, but they were. Anyway, I thought I could throw fairly well playing football decades ago, but I was quickly humbled. I was a running back so there's my excuse. I'm sure quarterbacks who throw on a regular basis would do much better than us common folks. In any event, it's a good time, but bring a towel and be prepared to sweat because this is not easy. Between running around chasing/dodging bouncing footballs to throwing them a good distance, you quickly feel the effects. My arm was sore for a day or so too. Ack! I'm getting old.
