    A 235 game followed by a 107 game :-( .. I wanted to crawl under a rock that night LOL

    As for two handed, I tried it once with my grandson's play "bouncie" ball on the lawn just to test out the motion. As I suspected it requires a lot of nimble hip motion that would be hard (and risky) for us older folks to master. Thanks but no thanks; I have a hard enough time with one handed sometimes.. That guy must be one stubborn old mule!

    While horsing around practicing my ' how far down the lane can i loft it ' one of them hung up on my thumb too long and went right into the overhang the monitors are mounted to.
    Just glad those monitors are not directly in front of the approach

    I went bowling with my wife, my sister, my brother in law, my two teenage nieces, and a bunch of their friends. I didn't notice that this bowling alley does not take care of the approaches, at all. First shot, I stuck really bad, and fell forward onto one knee, with my hands out on the lane to prevent my face from smashing the wood. I had been bowling for a while, I brought 3 balls with me that day, and had been taking to them about how good I was doing, and first ball I fell down.

    Just as embarrassing was Easter Sunday this year. I bowled a tournament. I was bowling two handed, and my balance wasn't so great that day. I slipped, and fell down. I was in enemy territory, bowling against guys who bowl that house every week, trying to show what a two handed can do, and there I was on one knee. Last tournament, a week ago, I ran front five, then missed two single pin spares, and on the first fill ball in the 10th, gutter. I had one game left to go, but I was looking for the door after that one.
    Trying not to suck, one day at a time.

    One of my embarrassing moments was when I was in travel league and left my shoe cover on and fell flat on my face.

    Another was that I double guttered in the 9th frame of a game when we really needed pins as a team. I rarely, if ever, gutter but this particular time I did it twice back to back. Yikes.
