And you know, I love that ten-pound ball, and we're gonna keep it.

What was Nixon's bowling average?

Nixon is often described as an "avid" bowler, but was he any good? Is his average known?

Walking back to the East Wing and the family living quarters, the President talks about his bowling (there are two automatic lanes in the E.O.B. basement). "I usually bowl for an hour about 8:30 or 9. I bowl 155 to 160. I have bowled a few games over 200. I could be a good bowler if I had the time."
