I am quickly becoming serious, been bowling regularly for just over a year. I find myself working at trying to get better and better and raising my average. I am an extremist in everything I do, can never just invest a little, sometimes to a fault. I have to tell myself to take a couple days off every other week or so. I could go everyday and bowl, but that usually just makes me more crazy and as the wife says " your doing it again" meaning I am trying too hard and I end up pressing too much. I want to bowl every morning and every night each day. I am starting to think I should leave the handicap league behind and go scratch. Seems like all the better bowlers are there, the averages are 200 +/- 15. I think it would help my game improve as I would be the low guy and wouldn't be able to survive without getting better. I am capable of beating the majority of the bowlers in the handicap league straight up. In the end I want to be consistent and know when I show up that I can hang with the high rollers.
I enjoy bowling and really love the challenge of figuring out the lanes, balls, oil patterns and how to perform under pressure...
