This. I bowled pretty well in college (back in the 90s). Well enough to get invited on Texas a&ms bowling team ~215 avg. I decided against it due to it being barely more than an intramural sport at the collegiate level and the huge time commitment. Then my bowling ball and shoes were stolen out of my car and I never bothered replacing them. Now I bowl 120-160 ish with house balls. Every lane has uv and laser light and bowling is not really that fun anymore. In the 90s I went to an old school smoke riddled over head projector scoring lane and now it's a kids laser show. I think bowling just suffers from being "mainstreamed" and diluted into a drinking game or birthday party activity.
