Curiosity...while bowling?

**Judy clemons** · 05-26-2013, 10:13 AM

what is 1 thing you wish you had never tried... BOWLING... while:
taking your STANCE....
standing on the APPROACH...
taking STEPS to the foul line...
watching your TARGET...
RELEASING your ball...
during your FOLLOW-THROUGH...
what is the 1 thing you wish you had never, never ever done in a bowling alley?

Last game of seniors league, I bowled the whole game upside-down backwards and between my legs! I did achieve my goal, but fear brain damage!

1. stance, backwards, with legs spread

2. steps to the foul line, then about-face with back to pins!

3. watching target,,, looks strange upside down, but what's life without a challenge!

4. My release was a two hand style,, I was surprised at the amount of loft, and revolutions I was able to get between my legs!

5. follow through..... was not bad, but painful!! ouch!!

6. One thing I wished I had never EVER DONE in a Alley,,,,,,,,, bowled upside down for 11 frames!! (had a spare in the 10th)!

gotta ask why did you do that? were you challenged into it? what was your final score after that?

**MICHAEL** · 05-26-2013, 07:23 PM

I had one strike a couple spares.... LOL.... I did it because I could!!!! Judy, ask Jason, I am WeIrD!! Some say not playing with a full deck,,, others a Half a bubble OFF!! Score was in the low 100's,,, I want to say 103....! My goal was hit 100, have 1 strike, and 1 spare,,,, Next time my goal will be 150! I think I can do it... I was "Just getting the hang of it, in the last few frames"!

Ummm I brang my ball I haven't bowled with for a few months because you would never need it in leage or open bowling cause it is relly relly early and it was a Tornament so I brang it just in case! So sayin ime 13 my hand grows tremendously saying I bowl 30 games a week my thumb was fairly tight. So I was gonna throw it and got in my stance.... Threw the ball.... Went with the ball about half way down the lane.... Painful

been there done that 1/2 way down the lane so much oil could not get up had to have help and even then it was a slow crawl
back then was not able to stand up with out help my skorts were drenched in oil and it was such an embarrassing and scary feeling could not concentrate to bowl during league play after that. You see that happened during practice warm up for league.

in your own way you are something else bowling like that and able to bowl a 300 on top of it that is DY NO MITE!!!
it is so cool that you can have so much fun and enjoy bowling the way you do and then turn right around and be
so competitive enough to pull out the 300... totally AMAZING!!! Some may even say:
UNBOWLIEVEABLE

VERY funny!!! You might even say I am ,,,,get ready Judy: DY NO MIKE!! LOL........ I do enjoy bowling, and don't take it very seriously like MANY around me do! If it was not fun, and if I can't play with the sport while bowling, then I wouldn't bowl!

Like on this web site,,, there is a place for ICEMAN!! Even though many may be left COLD with my threads, and comments! Its all about having fun, and doing the best you can!! ((But never getting to carried away with your own self esteem) I am probably one of the MOST HUMBLE bowlers, at age 64, that has bowled a 300 game. I hope to keep that attitude till hell freezes over!! LOL Iceman.... I like your threads JUDY,,, keep up the good questions, and thanks for your comments!!!
