Professional bowlers bowl not forcefully but gingerly, lending the ball spin and preserving the unhatched robin eggs inside every pin. Strike softly with today’s Groupon: for $25, you get a bowling outing for up to six people at Rock River Lanes in Fort Atkinson (up to a $56 total value). The bowling outing includes the following:

• Two hours of bowling for up to six on one lane (up to a $27.50 value)
• Shoe rental for six (a $12 value)
• A 12-inch, one-topping pizza (a $9 value)
• A pitcher of domestic beer (a $7.50 value)
  
  

Rock River Lanes gathers groups for the time-honored pastime of repeatedly knocking over 10 pesky pins before celebrations bathed in frothy brews and pizza pies. At the lanes, groups will first equip their toes with specialized shoes, much like donning flippers to visit the aquarium’s whale tank. With feet draped in smooth, alley-approved soles, groups can begin their pin pummeling. In two hours, bands of bowlers can sneak in several 10-frame games, sending balls twisting and tumbling down the lanes, pins clanging and clamoring around the pin deck. While championing the spherical side in the battle between pins and bowling balls, athletes can satisfy tummies by tackling slices of a one-topping pizza or indulging in a few glasses of performance-enhancing domestic suds from a pitcher.
