If life is just a bowl of cherries, then bowling is a life of launching 12-pound cherry-flavored gumballs. Experience life's sweetest pastime with today's Groupon: for $5, you get two games of bowling and a shoe rental at Capri Lanes in Kettering (up to a $10.50 value).

Capri Lanes recently underwent a complete makeover and now features new synthetic Brunswick Anvilane Pro lanes, zippy ball returns, and seating. Scoring machines now have instant replay, a ball-speed readout, and a button that controls the flight of the Goodyear blimp. Couches at the end of every lane provide cushioning for bowlers on deck or VIP spectators, while bumper lanes exist for those who want to watch the ball careening back and forth.

Capri Lanes' full-service onsite pro shop, EG's Pro Shop, is directed by PBA titleholder Eddie Graham. With years of experience in measuring finger circumference and coupling bags and shoes with bowling balls and bowler feet, Eddie has the power vested in him to provide excellent ball layout, drilling service, and bowling instruction.
