« on: January 14, 2014, 12:30:13 AM »
Ok, i know the first weekend just got done, But if anyone has bowled in it and wants to give their info on how they did please do so.....

I heard the first weekends scores were not that great lol.....  but as i told my buddy who runs the bowling alley where i live, what did they expect lol the pattern ratio is really low....

I am bowling Feb 8/9 doing two singles / doubles session and one team event...

well one of these years, i'll have a awesome first 9 games, and just kill everything with my 202 avg lol...  funny how i can bowl just as good if not better on a " tougher " shot , than i can on a easier shot...

I've gone for 4 years now.  Let's just say it's been getting worse every year. lol.  Saginaw I bowled around average, a little above.  Made 400+ in brackets, and cashed in singles,doubles,team, and all events.  I cashed less in Monroe, it was kind of a wash year, I didn't do bad, but the inception of the tournament average killed me.  Last year and this year, i don't know, it just was not good.  plus side, next year i get to use a 183.  Hope that's the year i find a line that works for more than 15 frames

I'd be more than happy to take your 183 avg lol................

the money i could make with a 183 avg would be laughable.....

the thing that didnt help or hurt me was i bowled in 2010? when it was in muskegon, and i think had to use a 196 avg? idk  but shot like 660ish in team and singles n doubles i dont know if i broke 550 in either of them lol..  so my over-all avg was like 189?  but was only for 9 games.. 

so last yr i still had to use my regular avg which was 203 or 6 idk..  and in team i went 738 ( had 538 after 2 lol )  and then went 613-616 in singles doubles.. had two 160 games sandwiched in both of those sets lol.... 

So my state avg was right back at my league avg lol.....  some of the guys i bowl with will have a awesome ( low )  state avg come next yr after their outing in muskegon this yr lol.......

it's kind of a damned if you do or dont.... if you fail.... GO big and get that avg as low as possible...  one of my buddies was telling me the weekend he went, high handicap games were like 330+ lol........

Well just returned from Mi State tournament and not much to report just a bunch of mediocre bowling (609, 654 and 610) The highlight is I added 654 to my partners 768 and we are in the lead for Optional doubles, 3rd handicap and 2 scratch.  The two center's played very different with Sherman hooking way more. I used more flippy layouts and should of brought some smoother stuff for the fresh.  I threw some good shots and some bad (as always) made a good majority of my spares only missed a couple and all my bad splits.  Will definitely have a couple different balls for my next trip back in a few weeks.
