Average 230 in at least one league (Participating in three leagues this season -- previous best: 223)
No, the highest average I ended up with was 223 and the lowest was 220 in multiple leagues and multiple bowling alleys.
Bowl more than one 300 (One will be fine with me though!)
Just one. Several close chances though. A lot of 279's with 10 pin, 8pin, 7 pin, or 9 pin robbery at some point.
Bowl an 800 series
Yes! 800 right on the nose!
Win first place in all 3 leagues
1st out of 12, 1st out of 12, and 6th out of 40.
Pick up 10 pin at least 90% of time
After hovering around 90% for the first couple months, I fell off and ended the season at 84%. Still need to improve, but overall, not too displeased.
Don't get overly mad at yourself, stay positive at all times
Still get angry with myself, even more so as the season progressed, but rarely, if ever let it affect my next shot.
Encourage teammates
When needed, yes.
Win at least one tournament (Unrelated to league)
First in a team tournament, but not in a singles event. Stopped bowling tournaments half way through the season till this point for various reasons. Going to start again this summer.
HAVE FUN!!
Started the season having a lot of fun, then as I started bowling more and more, I got tired of it and wasn't having as much fun. That being said, I still had a great time bowling with all my teammates (except for one guy on my Saturday league).
That's it though. This season is a wrap (for the most part)! I have one last league day next Thursday.
Hope you all did well in the goals you set for yourself.
Even though you didn't meet most of your goals, it looks like you came pretty close on most of them. Remember that goals should always be a bit of a stretch, attainable but not too easy. Enjoy your summer break and come back refreshed and ready to surpass the goals that you didn't meet!

1. Came in third. Had to forfeit the points one night due to two teammates attending my nephew's wedding dropping us to third before position round.
2. Nope but did get two consecutive during practice and one in a non-sanctioned tournament.
3. No again but one day I will.
4. Missed that one too but only by a few pins. I had a good chance until I broke my wrist. Took me too long to find a brace I liked and get use to it.
5. I will always be a work in progress.
6. lol entrapped ulnar nerve in my right elbow, broke my right wrist and then burst the bursa sac on the outside of my right elbow
7. The alley put that on hold first and me now. I need to get all the injuries fixed before trying or it could end my bowling forever.

Well I guess I shouldn't speak too soon! I shot another 300 tonight on the last night of league! With the DV8 Misfit PearlJaMau24
Bowl more than one 300 (One will be fine with me though!)
Just one. Several close chances though. A lot of 279's with 10 pin, 8pin, 7 pin, or 9 pin robbery at some point.
My goals were
My goals for the season...
average a 175 or higher=Achieved with a 176
shoot my first 600 series then maybe a 700 =) Achieved this right after winter break with arson hybrid shot a 604. Went on to shoot two more for league
hit my marks=Always working on this
pick most if not all my spares up along with that pesky ten pin=Not a 100% yet but always looking better
Style: Stroker
In the bag: C300 Wicked Encounter, C300 Freeze, Hammer Arson Hybrid, Hammer Cobalt Vibe, and Brunswick T Zone
PAP 4.25 over x .25 up
High Series: 716
High Game: 273
Have never hit 250 in league - but own 5 scores in the 240's including a 248. Should get this milestone this season, then on to 275.
Raise my average from 171 to 185 - this is feasable with the discovery of a style change late last season where I averaged 190.25 over the last 4 weeks.
Get a new high series - current is 643. I'd like to break 675.
Close 90% of frames.
300 would be nice, but these are realistic goals for now.
ad.
League ave. 180; high league game 277; high league series 695
Current weapons - Blue Hammer; Green/gold Ebonite Cyclone - both 15lbs.
Now someone needs to start a "Goals for 2013-2014 Season" thread.
Hold on there, we've still got this week and next to finish 2012-2013 in Fairfield!

1. Nope, averaged 183 for the season
2. nope and nope. Had the front 9 two weeks ago but left a split first ball in the 10th. Didn't even bowl a 700
3. No, and yes. 10th first half, 3rd second half
4. Yes, helped all of my teammates, and a few buddies on another team as well.
5. Not even close, Week one I bowled the 3rd game two handed. Bowled most of the second half season two handed as well
6. No, then yes. First half, I was just another crappy bowler, second half I was bowling nearly every game above my average, and most games well above.
7. Nope, but I would be close second half if not for a scoring error.
8. Nope, didn't play the brackets once, I was such a mess most of the season it would have been a waste.
All in all, I failed in a lot of ways, but I had fun despite almost getting thrown out of the league twice for temper tantrums. If I would have bowled all season two handed, and my body would have held up, I may have reached more of my goals. I did learn something this season. Even though I am better at it, and can average higher, I can't bowl two handed for a whole season. I did it for 10 weeks, with 7 of those being over 600, but it took a toll on my back, and my fingers.

Trying not to suck, one day at a time.
Getting Rid of Bad Habits!!
I think for this topic my goals would be to completely change my game for the better and throw away all those bad habits i picked up over the years.
