Hi Bob
We went bowling last night, my first 2 games weren't very good, I was trying to do to many different things. So I told my wife, Bob said accuracy accuracy accuracy. All I did was put my toe on the 3rd spot to the left and aim for the 12th board and watch the ball go over the 12th board. I had my highest game ever; I had 7 strikes and shot a 203. Thanks allot Bob Doug

Congrat's on the 203 Doug! 7 strikes? not to shabby

how was the spare game?

[Douglas]

Thank you
How was your spare game; that is an interesting question? I had 4 shots at spares and every one was the 7 or 10 pin and I only got 1. I was hitting the mark so close that I thought every 1st ball was going to be a strike, I was in a zone that a may never be again but it sure was fun. Thanks for asking I love to talk about bowling.

Doug.....That's great !! Congratulations on the 203. Now you know one of the biggest secrets in this game...Accuracy, Accuracy & Accuracy !! Remember what I told you, it doesn't matter how you bowl as much as if you're accurate or not. As long as you're close to being lined up you'll shoot good.

If you get a chance to practice this week try the spare shooting system I showed you. Remember, shoot all of your spares over the 3rd or middle arrow to take advantage of the heavier oil (so your ball won't hook as much), line up your ball the 5th arrow or the 4th arrow (middle) and shoot two or there boards to the right of the arrow to the right you lined up with. Takes a little practice, but once you get the hang of it your spare shooting percentage should go way up. Glad to hear things worked well for you.

Well my league average was 104 on Wednesday and I bowled a 130, 143 and a 170 today (Friday). So it is still working, I have to work on accuracy a little, also my spare game is getting better. This is allot of fun. Thanks Doug

good job. Sounds like you're getting there, just keep working at it. One of these days soon I'm going to be unemployed again because the company is shutting down. Hope to be "retired" once again. Let me know what day & time you bowl and where the bowling center is and I'll try to take a ride up to watch. Bowling is like riding a bicycle....you never forget how.

But sometimes you have to knock the rust off and may wobble for a few minutes..
