Students enjoy special at Baldwin Bowling Center

The sounds of falling pins can be heard among the chatter of students every Wednesday night at the Baldwin Bowling Center.

The bowling alley offers a special which includes five hours of bowling for just $10. This price also includes shoes. The special runs from 6 to 11 p.m. every Wednesday, and is open to any and everyone. The bowling alley has a full snack bar that serves food and beverages, including beer. There is also a lounge area, for those who come to watch or for those needing a rest break. Will Brooks, a senior marketing major, comes to the bowling alley for the Wednesday night special almost every week.

“I’m from Milledgeville and I just happened to come on a Wednesday and saw that there was a special,” Brooks said, “My favorite part is the fact that I can come up here and bowl as much as I want and I get everything for only $10… After two games, you’ve already broken even.”

Senior management information systems major, Matt Franklin also returns weekly for the Wednesday night special. “I’ve been coming for awhile, it used to be on Mondays,” Franklin said. “I used to come here while I was in high school.”

Students like coming to the bowling alley to practice their skills for low prices.

“My favorite part is that it is cheap…. I can come here and really hone in on my bowling skills,” Franklin said.

Carl Snodgrass, a longtime employee for the Baldwin Bowling Center, says that the Wednesday night special has been going on for about six months and is doing very well.

“We definitely plan on continuing the special,” Snodgrass said. The bowling alley gets pretty crowded on Wednesday nights, according to Snodgrass. There are bowlers of varying ages at the bowling alley. The crowd consists of high school students, college students, families and groups of friends.  “A lot of the crowd (on Wednesday nights) is college students, but everyone can play,” Snodgrass said.

This is not the only fun thing happening at Baldwin Bowling Center. There are Bowling leagues, tournaments and even bowling classes.

“We have bowling leagues on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday,” Snodgrass said. “People are more than welcome to come watch if they don’t want to play. We have a full snack bar, lounge, and a pro-shop that is open Monday through Thursdy, as well as a number of bowling leagues.”

For more information on the bowling alley, including the special, bowling leagues or classes, Snodgrass says to either call Baldwin Bowling Center at (478) 453-7545 or visit the bowling alley.
