Thought I would start a Summer 2017 Goals Thread.
With fall/winter 2016/2017 now fully behind me, I can evaluate my progress towards my goals, or lack thereof.
I was in ONE league as a regular bowler and bowled 63 games, finishing with an average of 185. The league swept in Vegas at Sam's Town and shot a 584 series and won $70. :mad:
I subbed in another league in that same house, averaging 183 over 30 games. As a floating sub, I was not eligible to sweep with the league in Vegas.
I subbed in one league at my old house and averaged 181 over 30 games. As a permanent sub for my team, I was eligible to sweep at The Orleans in Las Vegas and shot a 610 winning by largest $ total ever in any single bowling event; > $1500. :cool:
Goals (Fall/Winter 2016/2017)
1) Bowl a 550+ series every night.
Didn't happen. Actually, only 21 of 43 series were 550+.
2) Increase my strike rate to > 40%.
= 42%
3) Restore my 76% single-pin spare shooting percentage.
= 71%
4) Bowl a 270 game or higher.
High Games = 267, 266, 257, 256.
5) Bowl a 700 series or higher.
High Series = 674.
6) Finish in the top 20% of the league in average.
Tied for 11th with 2 other bowlers with a 185. Top 11% of 128 bowlers.
Obviously disappointed with the overall results. I'm going to scale some of them back a little for Summer 2017.
New Goals (Summer 2016)
1) Bowl a 500 Series (or higher) every single night.
2) Single-Pin Spare Shooting Percentage 75% of higher.
3) Bowl a 270 game or higher.
4) Bowl a 700 series or higher.
5) Increase strike rate to 43% or higher.
So, post away!
Remember, if you don't have any goals this season...you are going to have a hard time reaching them!!
