Jimmie Allen LOVES Bowling
The pandemic was a good thing for Jimmie Allen and his bowling game.
In an interview with “Billboard”, Jimmie said he was introduced to the sport by Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts and former NFL player Cortland Finnegan.
“We’d spend five days a week, seven, eight hours at a time at the bowling alley.” He’s now officially addicted. Last month he left early from his own industry party celebrating two Number One records . . . so he could go bowling.
He belongs to five leagues and keeps three different sets of bowling balls for playing at home or on the road.
His league average is 215, and although he’s never rolled a perfect 300, he did get so close one time that it STILL hurts to talk about it.
“It was all strikes until the 10th frame. I was sick for a week.”
His final score was 288. And this is not just a passing fancy. In January he plans to try out for the Professional Bowlers Association.
So how does he do this while maintaining a singing career, and being married with three kids?
“I only sleep about three-and-a-half hours a night. If I get two, I feel like I’ve slept.”
Jimmie’s third album, “Tulip Drive”, is out today.
