Bowling is like taking a road test: the only way to win is to knock over more obstacles than everyone else. Cruise to victory with today’s Groupon: for $4, you get two hours of unlimited bowling and shoe rental for one at Family Sports Center in Asheboro (up to an $11 value).

Bowlers can pursue pin-felling prominence for two hours at Family Sports Center, strapped securely inside a pair of aerodynamic rental footwear. Send weighty orbs careening down the center or swirling in the shape of your signature on any of the alley's 32 lanes, in as many games as you can muster in two hours. Automatic scoring appears on TVs that float overhead, preventing the need for recounts and game-settling thumb wars. Children younger than 12 years old can bank lighter balls off of bumpers summoned from underground slumber. Purchase up to two additional Groupons as gifts and come as a crowd, or extend the focus from your solitaire tournament to side-by-side solo bowls.

While not included in this Groupon, extra-bowling activities at Family Sports Center include a billiard room, an outdoor 18-hole miniature golf course (open seasonally), and a snack bar that dishes out burgers, wings, and beer.
