"refrain from touching other People's Balls." Words to live by.


Coronavirus or not, this is generally good advice.  But, considering that this sign is posted at a Georgia bowling alley some issues and questions arise.  

It is difficult to retrieve your own bowling ball without that ball touching other bowlers' balls. Once a balls is contaminated does that mean that as it flies around the lanes, it contaminates the pins, the equipment and all the other balls it contacts?  That's a lot of potentially contaminated stuff.

Unless the management has provided sanitizer at each lane, does the bowler need to go to the bathroom to wash his/her hands after each frame they bowl?  

Bowling is not usually a zen like activity.  It's a social activity.  Hard to imagine a few lines of bowling will be much fun with all the necessary cautions and hand washing.
