Well, I had a tournament today (and tomorrow). Singles & doubles today, team event tomorrow.

The first game of singles, I shot my very first SANCTIONED 300 game!! About time! (Ok, it's only been a few months, but I'm impatient!). That brings my total to 5, and 3 since I've come back to bowling in December (3 in the last month actually). So happy I finally am going to get my 300 ring! Now I hope to shoot countless other sanctioned 300 games.

Back to the tournament, I ended up shooting a 227 & 226 for the next two games. Shot 753, and finished 3rd in singles and am going win cash! 810 won the singles, and the guy in second was only 3 pins ahead of me.

Didn't shoot so well in doubles, only a 600.

Then I had to start a new league tonight at a different alley... So I went there and shot extremely poor the first game. A 151 lol. 4 splits. That's the worst I have shot in league since I can remember. Probably some time during a winter league last season I did that. Nonetheless, I shot a 220 next game (with 2 more splits/opens) and a 236 the following game. So despite a terrible start, I still ended up over 600 with a 607. It's only the first week, so I don't mind. We still won.

But yeah, one awesome, unforgettable day of bowling. Exhausting too. Was either on my way, or at a bowling alley from 12PM to 9:30PM. Ready to get some rest and relaxation. Ready to get back at it tomorrow and hopefully win the team event.

Thanks guys!


Yeah Striker, my average in this league I end on Tuesday is up to 223 now. I'm hoping I have an awesome last week and can get it to 225. So a 202 average is low for me, but I expect it to even out to where I'd like it here in the next couple weeks... and just keep at it.. It's only a matter of time before you achieve the goals you set for yourself.

Well, the good news continues!! We won first place today for the team event!!

First game I shot a 203 after missing an EASY spare in the 10th (my only open of the day), which ruined a 220something game. I rebounded though and shot 237, 247 the next two.

The teammate who shot the best for us today shot 730something, then I was second with 687, then someone else finished 2 pins below me and another 3 pins below me, and the last member shot somewhere between 615-625. So a good team effort. Someone on our team shot over 270 all 3 games.

What a great tournament it was!

Thanks Guys!

Definitely does feel great. Haven't done too well in the last few tourneys, so it feels good to have my best tournament performance for singles and my best finish. Then to continue it today as team felt real good as well. I like tournaments with the singles/doubles/team format rather than these sweepers. I find it a lot more fun.

I came close to an 800 about a month and a half ago... needed a strike and a few pins.... Ball came off my hand funky and didn't get a strike... Ended up shooting 796... I'll get one soon I hope!
