    Well practice this morning on the newly released oil pattern was interesting. It's certainly a tough shot. I went at it straighter as I just don't put enough revs on the ball like some of the pro's were doing.

    Had a good shot I think and will just see how it goes. No expectations, just get out there make good shots and make my spares and hopefully not end up in last place.

    Here is the oil pattern if interested. LINK

    Bowl at 8am tomorrow beginning on lanes 17-18.

    I looked at the lay down on line after you said your bowl times. It looks like a straight shot is going to be better. Don't rush to move inside if your on a fresh set.

    Day 1 in the books for me. Shot.......OK. Made some bad shots and got too darned fast a few times too many. Left a lot of pins out there on some messy spares.

    For the first 8 games, I am -143.

    Seems the way the squads are going, the 2nd squad(burn) of the day is the best scoring squad so far. Double burn is still going now. We will be bowling on the double burn tomorrow evening at 630pm central.

    Should be on the Xtra Frame live stream for at least 1 game tomorrow night according to the lane assignments.

    "Shooting ...OK", seems pretty good considering the conditions and level of competition, good luck with the next session !

    Thank you Tony.

    I do have to keep it in perspective. The fresh squad yesterday was the lower scoring squad. Interested to see today how the Fresh squad does.

    Day 2 in the books. For the 8 game block I was -160. Add to Day 1 I am -303 currently.

    The double burn was brutal to say the least. Was hard to keep the ball on the 1-3 pocket side of the lane. They had been torched from the last 2 squads. I was on the Xtra Frame live streams for 2 games so that will be fun to re-live those games when I can get a chance to watch the replay of them. Wife was texting me while I was bowling offering support.

    Third round of qualifying today at 115pm. We will be on single burn today. Hoping for a bit better scoring today.

    oooo...I'll have to see if my internet will let me watch the livestream without it looking and sounding like Max Headroom.

    Hopefully VDub is wearing a "VDub" jersey because I forgot his name and don't know what he looks like.

    Gotta say that the Seniors are looking pretty impressive after bowling the fresh on Thursday: Duke, Ameletto, Pete, and WRW all in the top five, keeping the lone lefty leader company!

    My experience at the US Open is over. Today did not go so well. Shot -230 today.

    Plus side, I was on Xtra Frame and shot my single 200 game of the day while on the stream.

    This was an awesome experience that should be on every bowlers bucket list. Learned a ton while bowling. I will expand on what I did learn later. Tired and sore and need some down time.
