Lol. I wonder if I still have mine somewhere? It wasn’t as pretty as yours, though.

Hmm, we have a few of those in the loft, although the Golfer’s tend to disintegrate around the thumb hole so definitely not as pretty as this – but mine are always a pretty colour so I might copy your idea the next time I have a new ball 🙂

  The trick is to put the thumb hole down.

I should show you a garden up here that made a bowling ball totem. You would be amazed at their garden. The totem is really tall and entirely made with bowling balls.
