Nice, althoughthat joke only works in scratch leagues!
I just want to clarify this- because too many parents don’t know. It’s not a matter of keeping amateur status- it’s a matter of keeping youth eligibility , and possibly (depending on the state) high school and college sports eligibility. I’m an amateur bowler, even though I’ve won money. If my son even enters a tournament that awards money, rather than a scholarship, he can never again bowl in a youth league or tournament.
Well, we both love sushi, but I came up with a better celebration. He is 14, and in the midst of puberty. He has mentioned going to Hooters, but I’ve always laughed it off.
So last night I surprised him and took him to Hooters. The food wasn’t all that, but I’m not so old that I didn’t realize that wouldn’t be a concern. He loved his wings.
And he gave me a copy of his scoresheet.. He also told me that “an 800 series” woulda been way cooler. Today a local newspaper is interviewing him. I suggested he leave out any reference to the wing place.
Major congratulations to your son. Hooters was cool and all but whatever will you do for an encore?
Shhhhh!
He had a great line at Hooters. In the parking lot he told me he was getting ribs. I told him I didn’t think they had ribs on the menu. He replied, “sure they do. Haven’t you heard about the great racks”? :dubious:
