    Started out the night with a horrible shot leaving a washout, and did not convert. Not how I wanted to start the night. Got up on the next frame and left a 10 pin which I converted. 4 bagger and then a stone 9 pin. 3 more strikes and a 4 pin spare to finish out the game for a 237.

    Next game started out with a stone 9 pin then the next 5 before going really light and leaving a 2-5, converted that and followed with a strike, a 10 pin which I totally yanked missing it. Then punched out in the 10th for a 236.

    3rd game started out with a turkey, then left a 4 pin then a 10 pin both converted. Next 5 were strikes and then went way wide with my shot in the 10th frame leaving a 2-4-6-10 split and pick 3 out of that for a nice 253 game.

    237-236-253=726

    First 700 series of the Fall season. Used the First Blood all night moving only 3 boards on each lane. Aside from my first shot, last shot and going light once in 2nd game, I was on target all night. Pretty happy about that as I worked on my timing on approach and targetting in my practice Sunday.

    My friend Mike from my Tuesday night league bowled a 300 tonight. His 70 something 300 game. He shot an 806 in his travel league this past weekend.

    OK night on the lanes first game came out real strong and had a nice shot, 268. 2nd game lost the shot and made moves and kept leaving 10 pins, 9 pins, 4 pins with one split thrown in for good measure and ended with 198. 3rd game wheels fell off and was the first game that I can even remember that I did not even strike. 1 open(chopped the 3-9 out of 3-6-9-10) and a lowly 171 for a 637 series. Spare conversions were really good. Aside from split in game 2, only had the 3-6-9-10 open. Converted 6 10 pins tonight.

    Really struggling on the 2nd-3rd games at this particular house. Any moves I made either in to find more oil or out to swing it were not working. Going to get my least aggressive ball and get it cleaned/resurfaced/polished this week and see how it does in games 2-3 next week.

    Good night on the lanes. First game came out hot starteed with first 3, went a little light leaving a 2-8 then had a pocket 7-10 that tripped me up in 5th frame. 6 strikes and then a 10 pin left in fill frame for a nice 254.

    2nd game started out with a double, then a 10 pin, struck again, then a 7 pin leave(ugh), doubled then got real loose on my shot and left a 4-8. If that wasn't bad enough, pick out the 8 from that attempted conversion. Next time up 4-10 split for 2 straight opens. Strike out in 10th to salvage a 203.

    3rd game start with a 10 pin, light again 2-8, another 4-10, 10 pin, strike, 10 pin, 6 pin, turkey, then 10 pin to finish out with a 202.

    254-203-202=659

    We were done in record time tonight, but much to my dismay. Our opponents did not show, they will post bowl. My team mates wanted to get the heck out of there, so they were speed bowling. The 2nd and 3rd games were done so quickly I hardly had time to decompress and think about my shots each time up. Put my foot down and told them we won't be bowling that quickly again.

    The shot was good all night, just a few loose shots by me or I would have easily had 700 series again. My season to date 10 pin conversions are up to 86% which I know for sure is a high for me. Haven't really tracked it as much as I do this season in past, but my practice over the summer is paying off.

    Had a great practice session yesterday. Went to the house I bowl in on Tuesdays. This house has been giving me trouble in games 2 and 3 so I wanted to correct that. Had my least aggressive ball,U-Turn, cleaned and polished to make it work better for me on these lanes.

    As with all of my practice sessions, I use each one of my balls for a game.

    Started out with my Disturbed and was playing the lane from approach at 35 targeting 17 at the arrows which was about 5-6 at breakpoint. Played a little with hand position and ball speed.

    Next game switched to First Blood and playing 30 approach, 15 at arrows with break at 6-7. In both games with the Disturbed and First Blood was in pocket most of the game while making slight adjustments each frame.

    Next game went to the U-Turn that was freshly polished and started out on approach at 25 targeting 15 at arrows with break point of 5. This line was perfect for the U-turn and resulted in consistent pocket shots. Picked up ball speed about .5mph per the display and had 2 great clean games.

    Time will tell on Tuesday, but I think I have figured something out for this particular house. Nothing earth shattering and should have been a duh moment in weeks past, but dry lanes aren't something I usually encounter at my Thusday night league house, they use higher concentration of oil.

    Feeling pretty good about Tuesday.

    Started out the night tonight with my First Blood, had a good line and what seemed a bit more oil that I had experienced in weeks past at this house.

    Game 1 started out good with a double, went light into the pocket next frame out leaving a 2-8, light again the next frame for a 4-7, then struck 7 of the next 8 for a nice 245.
    Game 2 a bit too much ball speed in a few frames and I was light to the pocket 7 count(2-4-5) in the 2nd frame was my lowest first ball count all night. Kept it clean through 7 frames and then punched out for a 229.
    Game 3 controlled my ball speed, hit my mark and had the front 6, left a 10 pin, 7 pin, 10 pin and then struck out for a 257!

    245-229-257 for a real nice and clean 731 series. Was finally able to tackle the drier parts of the night with adjustments to my line and ball speed and used the First Blood all night long.

    Another good night on the lanes.

    First game started with a 10 pin, then had the next 6, bit heavy in 8th leavin a 4 pin, then a 10, and punch out for a nice 258. Needed to punch out to win game and we did by 8 pins.

    Second game started with a 10 pin, then went heavy for a real ugly 4-6-7-9-10 split, doubled after that and then was way out and left a 1-2-4-7, 3 in a row and then went wide again leaving a 1-2. Punched out for a 217. Need to finish strong, we won game 2 by 12 pins.

    Third game started with a double, then went heavy leaving a 4-6-7 split. Ran off the next 6 then a 10 pin in 10th frame and left a 4-6 split in the fill for a 242.

    258-217-242 = 717. 2nd 700 series this week.

    Good primer and confidence booster for the Greater Tulsa Tournament I will be bowling in this weekend. Wish me luck.

    Had a great first set of games at the Greater Tulsa Open.

    First game started off with the front 7 strikes. Then left a 7 pin, doubled and then left a very light 2 pin for a nice 268 game.

    Second game I put it all together and did this... I am bowler #3.



    That was my 5th 300 game and since this tournament is a USBC sanctioned tournament, I will get a ring for it.

    Last game I was so nervous and coming down from my game 2 adrenaline that I started out too fast on my approach and had an open to start the game and put a few things together for a 204.

    268-300-204 for a real nice 772 series.

    Thank you circlecity

    The rest of the weekend at the tournament went pretty well. For Singles and Doubles events we were at Broken Arrow Lanes south of Tulsa. The day started out trying to find the right line with a 189 game.

    Game 2 found my line and was repeating shots, ended with a 229.

    3rd game I was in stride and making strikes. Had the front 9 and on first ball of 10th frame delivered my ball and something popped in my hip of my slide leg, did not feel so good. Went slightly high and left a 4-7, picked that up and then struck to finish out with a 278.

    189-229-278=696 in Singles.

    Now comes the doubles event, we switch lanes and my hip is now hurting. Not able to deliver normally and having a tough time.

    Game 1 160
    Game 2 166
    Game 3 a horrific 126.

    Yes, you read that right, a 452 series. I won't go and blame it all on the hip as I was able to get a couple strikes here and there, but for the most part I was missing my mark and going right through the nose. LOTS of splits.

    Live and learn.

    I came away from the experience with an award score in a tournament setting and am extremely happy about that. My brother, who lives in Oklahoma City, was with me and was witness to the game. That was the first person in my family to see me bowl a 300 game. My wife hasn't even seen me bowl one of my prior 300 games.
