Mark O's Bowling Scores

[Mark O]

I kept the good times rolling last night and I seem to be peaking at just the right time with the playoffs due to start next Wednesday.

246-202-233 for a nice 681 last night.

Somehow didn't manage a single clean game last night as I whiffed my first 10-pin out of my last 20+ attempts in game 1, couldn't convert the big 4 in game 2, and couldn't convert the 8-10 in game 3. 27/30 is still a solid night though and I hope I can bring it next week when it counts!

Didn't bowl on Tuesday and the good times did not keep rolling last night...they crashed right into a wall. I wasn't throwing it as well as I've been, didn't carry when I did throw it well, and when I made a mistake I paid a huge price for it every single time. Made a ball switch, changed hand positions, didn't matter, I didn't have an answer.

Didn't miss one "makeable" spare, unfortunately didn't leave many though because I opened on 7(!) nasty splits and couldn't manage anything more than a double all night long. Shot 164-195-178 for a big 537 when my team needed me the most and we made yet another 1st round exit in the playoffs. It was a big kick in the cornflakes after bowling so well over the past couple weeks and this one is going to sting for a while.

Last night was the final night of my Tuesday night league and it ended on a bit of a somber note but I ultimately achieved my goal on the season and I am happy about that.

I shot 202-168-181 for 551 but it was enough and I will finish that league with a 200 average, my highest ever sanctioned average and my goal average going into the season. I have 1 week remaining in my Wednesday night league and I am currently sitting at 200 in that league as well so I am hoping to make it a clean sweep in reaching my goal!

Congrats that 200 average is a goal of mine that I'm hoping to achieve.

Congrats on hitting your goal! Keep it up for the other league!

[fortheloveofbowling]

Congrats on reaching your goal. Keep working on it and more improvement will come.

[vdubtx]

Congrats on reaching your goal and that milestone of a 200 average. Keep at it, make your spares and you will increase that next season.

[Mark O]

Thanks everyone! I shot a consistent 204-201-206 last night for 611 and finished Wednesday nights with a 200 average on the nose as well! I reached the goal in both leagues and I am overall very happy with my performance and improvement this year.

I unfortunately lost all of my stats for this year because I switched phones and I thought I saved the database file to transfer over but apparently I didn't and now I have to start over. Before I lost it though I was at 50% strikes, 88% single pins(82% on the 10 pin), and 14% open frames and that is up from 47% strikes, 81% single pins(60% on the 10 pin) and 19% open frames last year. I am looking to improve on those categories again next season as I look toward bigger and brighter things!

Finally was back in action after not bowling much over the summer. The first week back was certainly interesting and I did some uncharacteristic things that made for an odd night. Just to name a few:
-My first practice shot stuck to my thumb and was lofted about 6 feet into the air and it thumped right into the gutter
-Bowled on the wrong lane once, almost did it a second time
-Left the Big 4 then proceeded to whiff on all 4 pins and I also pulled a shot and got a first ball 4 count for the first time in a long time
With all that being said though I didn't bowl all that bad and a few missed spares and bad count cost me what could have been a pretty good night: 231-173-181 for 585

It's all good Mark O. You've hopefully shaken the cobwebs out and on to another week.
