He talks with a bowling coach who says golf and bowling were very honorable in the beginning, but due to a few decisions, both attract different crowds.
Minshew also knows a great deal about the mechanics, physics, biology and philosophy behind bowling, and she writes, which makes her perfect for the Funnel Method. If that sentence seems ridiculous, that's partly bowling's own fault. Minshew believes that bowling and golf were equally honorable fifty years ago, but that while golf chose to be elite and expensive, bowling chose to be universal and cheap. Bowling provided house shoes, house balls and bumper lanes. As a result, bowling is often thought of as the working-class semi-sport, and golf brings in billions of dollars in television, advertising and in useless office knick-knacks.
I wonder if similar things can be found in religion and denominations and other areas of life.
When you think of Mac users, I often think of artsy and high-end graphic users with extra money to spend on proprietaryry system.
But in reality, I can do the exact same things on my PC.
In fact, Apple has recently switched to using the Intel chips that PC's have relied on for years, claiming now the chips can do more in their machines.

This is actually a very large debate within certain Jewish circles: should Temples start to adopt some of the marketing tools used by churches (some have certainly helped the church and others certainly have not). It's already begun to appear, especially in targeting youth (of course).
