Thread: How to bowl well in the midst of chaos?

    We get 80% of 200. The fall league is men's only, and I think it's a 160 minimum average to qualify. I think what he wants is to see that I can be consistent more than the actual score. My average is 150, but my scores are all over the place. I'll shoot a 120, then I'll shoot a 190, then a 140, then a 125, then a 180, then a 130.

    I hear ya on all counts summer bowling to me is what I call (practice) time. You work on timing footwork ,release and change balls and lines.
    All the while you will find the regulars the ones I call are like gym rats in your center all the time like me.When the fall leagues roll around you will
    have a solid foundation to work with and with some they will talk to you just to get you destracted but some will see improvements the biggest is work on your mental game learn to let it go roll off your shoulders. Putting a solid team is key for good chemistry and they can push you harder too.Like most up here when I practice and having distractions only make me stronger mentally and that's where it starts and ends on getting better.
    Lastly just relax and have fun.

    Ha yes haven't seen that one in a while. Or if they leave their shoes out and turn around put a decent amount of power glide on them.

    Ever see what happens to Joe Pesci at the end of the movie casino? Corn field, shallow hole, baseball bat. Maybe a bit of a radical idea, lol. You could show the foul mouth the movie or the end of old yeller and start calling him old yeller and keep mentioning you are related to john gotti and maybe you will see a change.

    Or you could just tell all of the people, like I would, hey I pay to come here to have fun and I am not having fun because of your poor behaviors so unless it changes immediately if not sooner I am out of here, good luck, god speed and may the bowling gods smile upon thee with the wind at your back. Just be straight up with them.

    Well, it may not matter now. Seems I've strained the muscle that connects my left pec to my collarbone/shoulder. The doctor has said flatly no golf for 4-6 weeks, and said I could try bowling since it doesn't have as much to do with your left side, but he still seemed pretty skeptical. I guess we'll see this week...

    Hummm I would not put up with it period! I would get FACE to FACE with this guy that bickers with his wife, and tell them to COOL IT! (iceman)

    When I am bowling the most important thing is not winning, ( I am not a Pro bowling for mega bucks), I am there to cut lose and have a great time. If we WIN GREAT, of we don't I just O.D. on Fried pickles.

    I assume the bickering was about one, or the other not bowling as well, as the other thinks they should? If I were his WIFE, I would simply file for divorce ASAP! THIS GUY DOSENT KNOW THE BELOW TRUTH:

    WOMEN are much smarter then MEN! DON'T argue with them!
    Don't walk on Thin Ice!
