I suck! lol. They updated our averages for the summer leagues after 12 games and I am at 154. When I quit bowling in 2002 I was 193. I bowled 40ish games in the fall league after my return and finished a couple weeks ago at 173. Now today 154. ugh...I think most of my issue is the 2 man team thing. I am exhausted, sweating, and worn out. With 2 man teams you barely get a chance to sit down. Part of it is mental and forces me to rush my shots because of the frantic pace and the other part just being wiped out. Last night my knee was very sore. A few times I took an extra step after my release just so I could keep my balance and not have to aggravate my knee more by hopping. I could tell my arm was tired by the way I released some of my shots. I rarely hit my mark all night until surprisingly the 4th game I started hitting it. What doesn't make sense is my first game isn't any better so that shouldn't be caused from being worn out? Maybe the fast pace though?
So why so I suck? Well we have 40 2 man teams (and a few fill in subs) and I am 3rd lowest average. We have one at 128 and one at 146, then me. The only good thing is up until now we were going off my 173 average for our handicap so we were getting beat up pretty bad with that. Next week it will be based off my current average.
We bowl 4 games a night.
Week 1: 135, 172, 136, 157
Week 2: 168, 180, 130, 164
Week 3: 137, 165, 163, 151
My 3rd game has been my worst and my 4th one of my better on the night so not so sure being worn out has that much to do with it?
Starting to come to grips with the fact that I'm just not the bowler I used to be. Being 15 years older, 50 lbs. heavier and having a bad shoulder has taken it's toll. Time to just go out and bowl and have fun. Whatever happens happens.
