8 frame game
« on: February 16, 2005, 12:59:37 AM »
This seems to be my new way of bowling.  Shot 620 last night with 2 opens each game.  Had a great shot, all I had to do was execute.  Three times I got soft and left large splits; missed one 10 pin; took the 6 pin out of a 3-6; and missed an interesting wash-out - the 1-4 (for this one I blame the approach, it was so slick I slid sideways).  I am getting just a tad frustrated.  Lately I feel like I've been throwing the orb pretty well, but stuff happens.  Last week it was 17 ten pins; this week a couple of lapses in concentration and a couple of mechanical errors.  Seems like anymore I can't shoot over 640 to save my behind, but shoot 600 to 625 pretty regularly.

I'd looooooooove to shoot 6-625 regularly!

Seems all I do is just miss 6, then shoot big 6 the next week

This seems to be the modern game and why you see such fluctuations in scores at times. Some bowlers get all their opens in one game instead of 3.

I know in my case, I’m getting stiff, old, fat, senile and a host of other maladies that seem to keep me from being as consistent as before and today you often leave the designer leave rather than a simple 4 pin to pick up on those mistakes.

I did that last night... except it was a little 6.  After 213 and 233, I was NOT happy with a 162. Mostly mad at myself... Guess I still have a ways to go with my anger management program - although I didn't hit or kick anything!
