Bowling monkey off my back

tonight was the night i finally got the monkey off my back.been chasing 700 on the lanes for 4 yrs know.(not counting the yr i took off)

2 weeks ago i made the stupid mistake of trying a different spare ball and missed all 3 ten pins i left and ended up with a 682.tonight the stars aligned and i had 205,268,257, for a 730.i had a feeling that this would be the yr. as my avg has been around 194 and 190 plus have been more consistant.

You jerkbag. My high is 262. I've never been able to connect it with a game near it, adjacently. You're kickin' some ass.

You've kicked my high series of 620 and something. Great series. Was this done in a league situation involving beer during and after the match??? If so how much was consumed in each case??? I believe this question to of a rhetorical nature as bowling is illegal in Wisconsin without a beer nearby.

Again UBER congratulations. huzzah huzzah

yes it was a league night i only bowl in leagues and tourny`s.

but i dont drink much when bowling(unlike golf) 2 before the night starts to loosen me up.as driving in the snow when wasted is not a good combo i have found out.
i did have 1 more at the alley then stopped and picked up a 6 pack on the way home.

previous high was a 266 single.so i actually acomplished 2 things high single and the 700.plus i will probably win the king of the hill this week with a 754 hcp. series.(8 pins of hcp.)

next on the list is perfect game.

Sweet series man!!! Congrats!

I am still chasing that 700....i know i have the ability but it seems that the first game always screws me out of the 700. I have thrown plenty of big 250 games, but i can never seem to string them together. Someday....

i felt the same way for a long time there was always something that tripped me up.


for me it is usually the second game.i had a feeling this yr was the yr though it seemed that i am having more high 5,s and 6`,s.it seems now that even when i am struggling i end up in the 560`s

just kep banging away it will come.

well i learned a lesson tonight that we all already know.just like golf and about any other thing you do your first.your first choice or thought is the right one.

had another shot at 700 tonight but like a dumba** at the end of the second game about the last 4 frames my ball wasn`t finishing as well mentioned to one of my teammates and also to a guy i used to bowl with that i was thinking about switching balls for the last game.so i tried to keep it going and went 4 spares and an open switched balls spare 4 strikes spare.ending up with a 679.but atleast i did up my high game to a 277.

this is a lesson i learned long ago on the golf course just trust your instincts.always trust your instincts.don`t be a dumba** like a guy i know that goes by the handle goatster.

on a side note as well as i have been rolling it i already miss golf season.only another 4 months before i can swing a club again.

I have that problem towards the end of the game if i am striking pretty regularly i start to second guess my line and try to move too early when the line hasnt broken down yet and i end up leaving 10's getting too deep in the pocket...

My instinct says, the line is still there just throw it, but my mind says you have thrown the whole fronton that line it has to be breaking down even though my last ball didnt show it....so i move and eff it up.

Its what most golfers do in the winter...

Sport? Well...it takes about as much coordination, timing, and strength as golf....so is golf a sport?

well considering there is a PBA Pro Bowlers Assoc. and its televised on ESPN i would say it classifies as a sport.

know that i think about it that makes me a 2 sport athlete.
