7 Days to Better Bowling
Released in 1961 by Audio-Dynamics Corp. of Portland, Oregon. It promised better bowling through self-hypnosis. Although for right-handers only.
There was a companion album, "7 Days to Better Golf," which also specified that it was for right-handers only. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any clips from it online.
CAUTION: This recording is for right handed bowlers only. It is unique in its field, and should not be played until you have read the instructions carefully on the reverse side of the jacket.

The prejudice against southpaws is with us everyday. One learns to adapt.

Busy executive or career woman? I guess the idea of a busy female executive hadn't been thought of. Do busy executives bowl?

It says "busy executive," not "busy male executive," so I assume they meant execs who were men, women, or small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri.
My memory of the early 1960s (and all of the 70s) is a little fuzzy, but I seem to recall "career woman" was code for either "old maid" or "lesbian," depending on context. Since it was rare to see a cat lady in that kind of alley, and bowling was one of the few sports open to people of all five Alexandrian sexes, my best guess is they mean the latter.

I recall that "executive" and "female" were considered mutually exclusive in the early 60's. (Yeah - or lesbian.) That was one facet of our revolt in the late 60's. It took a while, of course, but we fixed it, too.

Now we need a Youtube video of "7 days to better bowling" with a small, furry creature from Alpha Centauri teaching southpaws how to play bowling. Or golf.
