Are you a Pinhead?
Are You a Pinhead?
Last month I was invited to Pinheads Bowling for a Paul Poteet’s Gotta Eat Event (www.PaulPoteetsGotta Eat.com). Since I’m a bit of an informal sponsor for PPGE, I felt it was my duty to make an appearance. Besides, this PPGE was different, we weren’t just getting treated to free food, there was also going to be free bowling! How could I pass that up?
Because this PPGE wasn’t at a bar (although Pinheads does have a bar area and a private lounge), I was happy that I could take my kids and make this a family event. Now, I’m not regular bowler and my 115 average is definitely proof of that, but I do enjoy it. It’s one of my many non-talents. Luckily, my kids aren’t pro bowlers either, so my paltry score doesn’t look so shameful on the monitors. J
I was pleasantly surprised when I explored my options at Pinheads. It’s not just a bowling alley; they also feature duckpin bowling (something I still haven’t tried) and other fun stuff for those little whipper-snappers. If your kids don’t enjoy bowling, Pinheads has you covered. They have a kids area that would make your local cartoon-esque rat-themed pizza place proud complete with tickets and prizes. Plus there is a special area close by for even smaller kids that is well stocked with play maze, dinosaurs, blocks, and such. This is absolutely fantastic!
Of course, Pinheads has the obligatory pro shop, a place that seems well stocked and not overpriced, but seeing the term Pro Shop on the doors figured it was a place I had no business being without a LOT more practice. I’m sure Kevin won’t mind me honing my bowling skills at Pinheads.
Speaking of which, Kevin Walter isn’t just part of the crew at Pinheads, he’s the go-to guy for bowling tips! I’ve personally witnessed Kevin out on the lanes with patrons, helping them perfect their form, stance, swing and spin. It’s great to know that when I’m ready to take the game to the next level, there’s someone there that can help make that happen. One day, when I’m on the Pro Bowlers’ Tour, I can look in that camera and say, “I’m a Pinhead!”
Kevin isn’t the only staff member you should meet at Pinheads. I have yet to meet a team member up there that isn’t polite and helpful. If you find a hip cat with his laptop at one of the booths, you should say hi to Ricky Lee Potts, the social media man for the joint. Buy him a beer and he’ll probably hook you up with a free game or two! www.rickyleepotts.com
And when it comes time to buy that beer, hop into Louie’s for a quick cold one (or four) and finger foods, sandwiches and pizza. It’s quiet and it’s nicer that what you’d expect from your dad’s bowling alley.
Got a suitetooth? Pinheads has at least two private suites for your private bowling party. These are great! You have your own private restroom in there, close to the bar, and four lanes of pin-knocking pleasure!
Looking to enjoy the summer sun? Pinheads can make that happen with their outdoor volleyball courts. Need to feel the sand in your toes? Have fun, it’s always a fun time at Pinheads.
From volleyball to bowling, Pinheads can put big balls in your hands and a grin on your face! Wait…that didn’t….well c’mon, you didn’t think I’d let you out of here without a single pun did you? Speaking of big balls, leave the 16 pounder for me. I like the really big balls. Wait……
