Ethnographic Essay Topic

After much confusion and technical difficulty, I can write on my blogg again!

This has been the most difficult essay to choose a topic for. One of the few interesting subculture ideas I came up with, that I'm not a part of, was local bowling league members. I have been bowling multiple times, but at most twice a year. I enjoy the bowling, but by no means am I proficient in the sport. Every time I've been to the bowling alley, I notice a certain group of people, the hard-core bowlers. Most bowling alleys host leagues and have specified nights in which they compete. This group always interested me because of their passion and love for the game.
This subculture I believe meets all the qualifications. There are multiple local alleys where the groups gather that I have access to and would be able to do my research in. This topic does in fact interest me, and I am not nor have I ever been a part of this subculture.
This subculture, while broken apart further into specific teams, all identify with each other. They do share similar behavior and motivations. Bowling has many terms and a jargon that is unfamiliar to many. They invest in many artifacts relative to their sport. From the little i've seen of this subculture, i can tell they spend a lot of time and money on their sport.
