    Bowled in one of the rare scratch tournaments in our area over the weekend. Having not really picked up a ball since Nationals, except for a few games of practice, I was pleased with how I bowled.

    Was a 5 game tournament, shift every game skipping a pair. I averaged just under 232 for the 5 games, with a high of 259. The 259, I actually crossed with John Burkett who bowls on the PBA50 tour and beat him by 1 pin. He had just come off bowling 300 the game before.

    Out of a field I believe of 50, I placed 7th and cashed. The top 4 went on to a stepladder finals, I was only 22 pins out of 4th place so the top was pretty closely packed.

    Wow, that was a great performance. What kind of oil pattern did you bowl on?

    Thanks. This was on Kegel Bourbon Street, so essentially a house shot. LOL

    How did Burkett do?

    Bowling against folks like that is weird. You see your score and that you beat a pro...but you don't want to celebrate too much. Although, this probably isn't your first victory against a pro.

    I bowled a pro am with Burkett back in 2014. It was his first year on the PBA50 and he was really quiet. I think he was still getting used to the difference between MLB and pro bowling in terms of fan interaction. He was nice and cool and everything...he just seemed like the kinda guy that bowls in a "zone"...and having a bunch of goofball fans talking to you and stuff is probably distracting when you're used to being on a mound for 1-2 innings with the nearest fan is 120ft away.

    Burkett is indeed a quiet guy. He is much like myself in that respect. He finished in 5th place, 19 pins ahead of me and just 3 pins off the step ladder finals.

    Back in the swing of things for leagues this fall:

    Tuesday 5 person competitive league:
    Week 1 209-248-194 = 651
    Week 2 182-276-226 = 684
    Week 3 208-248-201 = 657

    Not sure what it is about game 2 but I like it. LOL!


    Thursday 4 person fun league

    Week 1 224-205-190 = 619
    Week 2 216-209-245 = 670

    My goal this league season is to not have any series under 600. Another is to continue my 10 pin spare conversion percentage increasing.

    Thursday nights Week 3 169-210-215 = 594. Can't explain what happened, but I had horrible ball reaction from everything I had in my bag. As the saying goes, you can't out bowl a bad ball reaction. Also this ruins my goal I mentioned in my last post. EPIC FAIL! LOL

    Thursday Week 4 226-249-222 = 697

    Tuesday Week 4 289-163-236 = 688

    Good week and felt good except for game 2 from Tuesday. After going the front 10 and then a 10 pin in game 1, I got slow in game 2 after my adrenaline came down and had 5 splits. Split in 10th frame lost our team the game. Lost by 1 pin.

    Oh well, on to next week and some upcoming tournaments.
