Get All Your Pins in a Row with Bowling Checks

By Alan Plastin

Are you a fan of bowling? Can you be found down at the lanes every Friday and Saturday night? Have they actually named a lane after you? If you're a dedicated bowler then you might be interested in bowling-inspired personal bank checks. Aside from looking great, they also let everyone know that come the weekend, all you need are your shoes, your bag, and your treasured bowling ball.

A basic form of bowling has been in existence since 300 AD when the game was first played in England, Germany, and Yemen. Today's bowling rules were established in 1895 in New York City, though. These days, bowling is played in more than 90 countries worldwide. As well as being enjoyed in the bowling alleys, bowling can also be played on video games and even hand held devices nowadays.

When bowling first became popular in the 50's and 60's, some of the alleys even looked like small cities unto themselves. Although most were modest in size, some of them contained 60 lanes, nightclubs, children's play areas, and restaurants. There was even one in California that had 5 acres of parking.

Some people even make lucrative careers out of bowling. There are professional bowlers, as well as major bowling tournaments where major prizes can be won, just like in any other renowned sport. Some of the most popular bowling tournaments include the World Tenpin Masters, Commonwealth Tenpin Bowling Championships, WTBA World Tenpin Bowling Championships, the AMF World Cup, World Ranking Masters, and World Tenpin Masters. Bowling can also be found in the Asian Games, Southeast Asian Games, World games, and Pan American Games. There is even some talk of adding bowling to the Olympics.

The Gary Patterson bowling checks are appropriate for any type of bowling fan, but are really great if you want to bring some fun to your checkbook. From time to time, when finances are concerned, it helps to have a laugh! These cartoonish illustrations prove that even a klutz can bowl a perfect game. There are also matching address labels and contact cards, as well as a matching checkbook cover that you can get to go with these checks.

You don't have to rely on the Gary Patterson checks if they're just not your type, of course. You can also purchase bowling checks that basically feature images of the lanes, the pins, the ball return, and naturally, the winner's trophy. When it comes to bowling, what else do you need?

Remember that if you get your checks online you can save as much as 50% off the expense. When you order them from a protected site you are not only saving money, but you will most likely have a larger variety of designs to pick from than you did at your local bank. You will never have to buy uninteresting bank checks again! - 15440
