Fantastic freebies! Game of bowling!

Every day, WalletPop will be bringing you information about a fantastic freebie. Like what you see? Check back tomorrow for more!

Bowling is fun but I haven't been in years -- mainly because I think it's too expensive.

But if you click here, you can print out a coupon for a free game of bowling at any of the alleys listed on GoBowling.com. And it includes a ton of lanes, so you should be able to find one in your area. What's the catch? You'll still have to rent shoes and you can only bowl between 8:00 AM and 6:30 PM.

Another thing: if you bowling with any frequency at all -- and you might want to start because the coupon doesn't appear to have any limits on the number of times you can use the promotion -- it might be worth investing a pair of your own bowling shoes. You can buy them on eBay pretty cheap and, even if they're used, it's probably less gross than the ones they've had at the bowling alley for the past 30 years.

People giving up golf should take up bowling

I bet Mark Twain, who called golf a "good walk spoiled," would have liked bowing because everybody likes bowling. The same can't be said for golf.

The New York Times
recently painted a pretty depressing view of golf business. For instance, the total number of players has declined or remained flat since 2000 and the number of people who play 25 times a year dropped by one-third between 2000 and 2005, according to the paper.

This is a sign of the times.
