Good time bowling = Good scores
« on: September 05, 2006, 02:51:22 PM »
Well tonight proves it.  I got out of my 3hr night class early tonight so me and my ex-girlfriend decided to go over to the center and bowl a bit, some of our friends were there as well.

I didn't have my shoes or any of my current equipment (but they all have the same fittings).  Go out there and throw my Depth Charge, comes in strong and high leaving the 6-10 not concerned just having a good time I just tossed it real quick and would have hit the 3 in the face.  Next ball I decide to throw my Tour Power so I could square up and not tear up my knee bowling in tennis shoes, no don't worry I keep run the lanes and keep the place in good order.  

I go off the sheet for a 278 and didn't think much of it.  The next game I decide to try and throw the Depth Charge again because its my favorite ball.  I stuck the first frame but could not keep it on the right side very well leaving multiple 4 pins.  Switch back to the Tour Power just to see what happens.  Finish with a respectable 219.

Next game I am having a good time with my friends not worrying about much I throw another 4pin and spare it.  Just having a good time I threw the next 9 and then another 4pin/spare.  

278-219-279 for a new high series 776 all while finally having a good time bowling again.  Not terribly higher than my previous high 752 but a whole lot more fun, even though i am kicking myself for switching balls for the hell of it the second game.  O'well

Hope everybody else can have a good fun night of bowling, makes the game much more entertaining.

BOWLING IS FUN NO MATTER WHAT YOU SCORE. BUT A 300 IS ALWAYS NICE.

This is the truth! I did that tonight PLUS i was able to get into a mental zone. That combination for me most always gaurantees me a 650+ night. Tonight was just under 650, 644 though.
