With over 70 bowling centers operated by Army Morale, Welfare, and Recreation worldwide, you can hardly throw a rock on an Army post without hitting one. Bowling is a “lifetime sport that anyone can do,” according to Jim Einhorn of the Galaxy Bowling and Entertainment Center on Panzer Kaserne—which goes some way to explaining its popularity. Einhorn knows something or two about the enduring appeal of the game. The former Army Europe Men’s Bowling Champion previously managed a facility in…

There were 2 minutes and 30 seconds left in the game. Bases were loaded, and there were 2 outs. I was at the plate. We had played our hardest, but we knew it was all over. I was the Dodgers’ last hope of ever making it to the World Series. We were up against the Giants. Literally. We were all 8-10 year olds, and they were like 13. I had absolutely no chance. The score was 3-0, Giants. I was the little girl amongst boys. As I finally built up the courage to step into the box, that’s when I heard…

Change is usually a concept that comes with larger populations, where there are more minds and bodies to explore new hobbies, activities, or mindsets. In smaller populations, such as Wayne County, Kentucky, population of 20,000, tradition leads the people. There is not much here in this small town that is any different than twenty years ago. There are still the same restaurants. There is still only one park. Basketball is still the most popular sport, closely followed by Football and Baseball.…

wildly grown up oak, and pine trees. Directly behind the driving range, over the concrete cart path about twenty steps; was a putting green which had what seemed like one thousand practice holes on it. The green was so big, you couldn’t putt a golf ball from one end to the other, even using all of your strength.
