Strikes and spares and I don't care!

As much as I love to bowl, I hate bowling poorly. Knowing that I used to be good at it, it's always tough at the start of the season. I didn't bowl at all since last May when the season ended, and I felt it. Man that ball felt heavy! I ended last season with something around a 180'ish average. Not great knowing that I used to be in the low 190's, but still not terrible. Plus, if I would have just stopped being lazy and gotten myself a spare ball, it would have been better.

The problem is... I'm still lazy! Having said that, I almost didn't go tonight. I got home from work and I was so wiped out I couldn't focus. I laid down for a few minutes, and woke up just in time to leave. I had to force myself to go. It was difficult to even walk around. Luckily, it did get better. I have to get to bed soon here, I don't want to be like this again tomorrow.

So, how did I do:

Game 1: 111 (ouch!)
Game 2: 165 (better)
Game 3: 171 (best)

and I have no idea how to bowl again! About half way through the second game Pat looked at me and said, "Here's what you've got to do...". After that, it got better. It's always the basics that I seem to forget. The biggest thing was that I was turning my wrist instead of lifting the ball and letting it do the work. Once I changed that I was more consistent.

Tomorrow I'm hoping to finally get some positions up from the weekends tournament. And this coming weekend should be another trip report. If I have Internet at the hotel I'll be posting as I go, otherwise the update will be on Tuesday when I'm back home.

I hope you had a great Monday!

And now for something completely different... or rather BOWLING unrelated! : )

Hiya Eds... I was trying to look up your old websites, the ones you did about your trips to the World Open. I cannot pull them up... I tried http://ed.neverstaple.com/wiki/ but nothing comes up. Do you know what happened to the sites? I am trying to find some of those old lessons I had done. Thanks and have a good one -Sean.
