Big Nick's scores from last night

[Big Nick]

Last night was a good bowling night for me. I'd been struggling with a few things, and everything finally fell back into place. The lanes were really slick last night which is extremely out of the ordinary for the house I was bowling in. Once I got my speed dialed in, it was a good night. I wound up with a 156, 193, 201.

These are my scores from practice on 12/13/12. I rolled six games, 211, 216, 247, 191, 211, 205.

My scores from league last night were horrific: 116, 136, 193. I put way too much pressure on myself to bowl well during league, and my mental game imploded. By the time the third game started, I was sure we were going to get swept and once the pressure to win was off, the pins started falling again. We actually won the last game by enough pins to take total pinfall and split the points with the other team.

Been there Big Nick! Hate when that happens. Practice is like butta.....league I get too tense. Gotta stay relaxed.

[Big Nick]

Remembering to stay relaxed is one of the things that I have the hardest time with. The way I see it, it was a good learning experience, though. I'm going to put some tape on the toe of my left shoe and write "Relax" on it so I'll see it as I find my spot on the approach.

Had a really good night in league last night. The first two games were great, but once again I missed the signs that it was time to move and wound up throwing three splits in a row in the third game. Final scores were 201, 192, and 164.

I had another good night in league tonight. I shot a 181,202,187 series for a 570 total. Only had 3 open frames all night, 2 in the first game, 1 in the second, and the third game was 100% clean. Needless to say, I was happy with my performance.

I'm still not doing so hot in my Sunday night league. Maybe one day I'll have some really nice scores to post. Anyway, last Sunday night I bowled 147, 169, 175 for a 491 series.

My Tuesday night league scores are much better. It's in a different house than the Sunday night league, and I bowl much better there. Shot a 187, 200, 240 for a 627 series. That's only my second 600 series, and is also my best scratch series in league to date.

Great job Nick. Are you able to play the same line in Both houses?

[Big Nick]

Perrin, sometimes I can play the same line and sometimes I can't. The lanes in the house where my Tuesday night league is play much more consistently than the ones in the house where my Sunday night league is. I can count on being within a board or two when practice starts during the Tuesday night league, and getting dialed in before practice is over. In the other house, I've gone entire nights without finding any line that works.
