The title says it all! I increased my all time high to 222 :)

So pretty much what was happening was that i was just having a good time bowlig with my dad and my little brother.

First game i didnt do too good cause the lanes were freshly ouled and i was looking for my line... By the 2nd game I found it and rolled a 187. Then I started joking around with my dad and a couple of friends there saying, "I'll get us a turkey for thanksgiving." Ended up rolling 3 4 baggers with in 2 games! Lol I hope i bowl like this on Friday!!

Thanks!! Yeah it was fun :) especially how I was telling everyone how I was going to get a turkey for thanksgiving xD ended up getting 3 4 baggers haha. Surprised myself as well because everytime I said it (jokingly), I actually ended up doing it :)

The power of positive thinking huh??? Haha

And yes... I got both of them into bowling! And actually my dad beats me about 80% of the time...

People says that I'm a very wuick learner because of my progress within 6 weeks since I started... But he only started about 2 weeks ago and he's kicking my butt!! People think that he's been bowling for a long time lol!

It is said coordination like that is genetic. So be proud of yourself and your dad while being happy he passed that gene to you.
Congrats on the great game!

Thanks bill! Of course I've been practicing a lot as well... see what a lot of people on my league don't understand is that I'm getting better because I practice a lot and committed to getting better at whatever I set my mind onto. Before it was Jiujitsu, muaythai, taekwondo, boxing, and now bowling.

When I first started, I was getting about 80+ to about 100's I had an average of 98...... then I started rolling 130's on my 3rd week then 150's on my 4th... Although I did do badly on my 5th week...for some reason the lane just felt really slippery...and the fact that I was working on a release that I had learned the day before league bowl...
People are actually saying that we're sand bagging! They were saying that we were holding out on them to get a good handicap... LOL! When in reality I've been practicing a lot. I've been hearing alot actually about people wanting us to lose. Lol.
