HEY Y'ALL! Can't figure out why I'm just now finding this place.
Started back bowling in the fall league last year after nearly 25 years (long story). Boy did I get a rude awakening. I knew things had changed, but HOLY MACKEREL!:eek: A 30+ year old ball was NOT going to cut it.
Some friends fixed me up... a Super Freak, a Stomp Pearl, a plastic spare ball and a 3 ball bag. Well at least I looked like I knew what I was doing. Struggled some, but finished season with a 178 avg. Yep. I was the one with the handicap.:D
Bought a Hammer Venom, got some coaching (timing issues), joined a scratch doubles summer league, scrounged the internet for tips and finished with a 191 avg.
After 12 games this season, had a199 avg. Two weeks later... 205. Bowling way over my head! And yeah, I'm still low man with the handicap.:rolleyes:
I know I'm long winded and promise to try to keep it shorter in the future. Thanks!
