    Went this weekend to Tulsa to bowl in the Greater Tulsa Open. I had a very early start to my day on Saturday morning as we bowled at 9am. In years past, I usually drive up to Oklahoma City and stay at my brothers place over night. Then in the morning take the 1.5-2 hour drive to Tulsa. This year though, work schedule etc didn't allow me to do that. So, up and on the road at 4am to make the 4 hour drive up to Tulsa from my home.

    Team event was first.

    247-222-206 = 678

    Each of the first 2 games had 1 bad shot, got light in game 1 leaving a 2-10 and through the nose in game 2 leaving 4-6-7-9. Game 3 I left 5 10 pins which really kept my score to a minimum.

    Covered all of my makeable spares on the day so I am happy about that. 6/6 on 10 pins conversion.

    Sunday we had Singles/Doubles

    Started out with a really good shot in Singles. One of the only times that I can say that I had a perfect 900 if doing a 9 pin no tap.

    248-227-248 = 723

    10/10 on single pin conversions. 68% strike percentage. Just needed a bit more luck on carry and this was easily an 800 series. 4 10 pins, 2 7 pins, 2 9 pins 1 8 pin and 1 5 pin(which was actually a 4 pin that slid over LOL!) were all that were standing in this set.

    Doubles the lanes got really squirrelly in game 3.

    213-220-172 = 605

    Game 1 I had one open and it was in the 10th frame. Still kicking myself on this one, 7 pin standing and I whiffed the spare, I got too slow on the spare and ball hooked right in front of it.

    Game 3 was just trying to keep ball on right side of the head pin. Transitioned through a few different balls to find a good line. Didn't find the right one quickly enough. LOL!!

    All in all it was a good trip to Tulsa.

    678-723-605 = 2003 for my all events score. I may make about $20 with this score.

    Oh, forgot to mention...I used the new to me Roto Grip Halo in both of my first two sets.
    I think I am really going to like this ball. Gave it a fresh 2000 grit surface before heading to Tulsa.

    Tuesday Sportsman League

    223-234-258 = 715

    Started off not feeling like I had a good shot. Something just seemed off and was not repeating my shots. Would get a double going and then throw a 7 or an 8 count going high. Covered my spares which is the important thing when I am feeling just a little off. Used the new to me Halo and was giving me an ok look. Switched to my Sure Lock mid way through game 2 and it gave me a much better look. I went deeper with it(16-17 at arrows) and it was just what I needed. Doubled with it to start before getting slow, then ran off the next 4 to finish the game. Game 3 started with a smash 9, strike, 10 pin, got a bit fast leaving 2-8, then punched out with the last 8.

    Felt good to put that together after feeling a bit off to start off the night.

    Another 30 clean series to add to my list for the season thus far.

    Wednesday league

    205-212-235 = 652

    Felt off on the night. Was a bit tired and not hitting my mark very well. Would get a string of 2 or 3 and then get too slow and leaving an 8 count. Missed a 10 pin in game 1 which I did not like doing at all. Went light one time in game 2 leaving a 2-8-10. Light again in Game 3 leaving 2-8 and chopped the 8 off on conversion. :facepalm:

    One open in each game on the night. On to the next one.

    Thursday Pepsi Classic late league

    278-234-226-175 = 913

    Game 1 started with a 10 pin, 7 pin, then went sheet until last fill ball of 10th frame and a 9 pin. Was perfect pocket on each shot.
    won game against opponent by 6 pins!!

    Game 2 started out light leaving 2-4-8, struck, 6-10 which proceeded to pick off the 6. Oi!! strike 9 pin, 6 bagger then went through the nose leaving big 4.
    lost game to opponent, he had front 9 and then split in 10th.

    Game 3 started strike, a weird leave 6-9, double 4 pin, turkey, 6-10(covered this one), 4 pin and strike to finish.
    Really needed the first strike in 10th to beat my opponent. I lost by 1 danged pin.

    Game 4 the lanes REALLY transitioned to an over under reaction. Double to start, greek church, 10 pin, 6-10, 3-6 and chopping the 3, strike, 4, pin, 7 pin, strike and 3-6 to finish out the night.

    Felt pretty good on the night. Used my Roto Grip Hectic last night until the last 5 frames where I switched to my Hy-Road Pearl. The hectic had just enough to get through the burned up heads and not over react until it got over under, then it would jump early.

    On to next week.

    Not much to report this week other than I was struggling to throw it well much of the week.

    Anywho.

    Tuesday
    238-161-257 = 656

    Wednesday
    212-265-253 = 730
    Felt ok with this result, but, I could not close out a 10th frame. First game left a bucket on first shot, dumped the ball and did not convert it. 2nd game doubled and then tugged it and went through the nose leaving a 3-6-9-10. Last game would have been another 260 performance had I not dumped the ball again with ball going out to far and left the 1-2-4-6-10.

    Thursday
    195-203-178-167 = 743
    Last night was a horrible performance on tough burned up conditions. No excuses other than I was just not throwing it well. Made my spares when needed to, but too many yanks with those going through the nose for splits.

    Need to get some confidence back after this week. Hopefully get some much needed practice to get my timing and hand positioning/release back.

    Tuesday Sportsman

    184-244-214

    No excuse for my first game. I was in the pocket every shot, completely tugged a 9 pin conversion in the 3rd frame. This was my first single pin miss(aside from 10 pin) in this league this year. Followed that up in 5th frame with a 10 pin miss. Then had another 10 pin miss in 10th frame fill. Very poor execution on my part.

    2nd game was still the pocket until 6th frame and lanes started to transition a bit going high leaving 3-6-10. Converted that and then went light leaving 4-7. Punched out after that.

    3rd game was clean and fighting with making enough of a move due to the transition. Kept it clean leaving a smash 8, 10 pin, 6-10, 7 pin, and a 3-10 to start the 10th.
