Spring/Summer Season Goals 2015

[Aslan]

With the 2014/2015 league season now in the books; my goals for Spring/Summer are:

1) Always throw a clean game and/or a 525+ series. (Remains my goal every league night)
2) In 2015, take at least 1 lesson from Mark Baker. (carryover from last season's goals)
3) Increase my composite sanctioned average from 165 to 193 or higher. (carryover from last season's goals)
4) Increase my strike % from 32% to 35% or higher. (carryover from last season's goals)
5) Increase single-pin spare shooting % from 71% to 80% or higher. (carryover from last season's goals)

Fall/Winter (2014/2015) was fairly disasterous. In the two leagues I bowled in (granted one was a sport shot league) my average actually went down slightly versus up...my strike rate in league play was only 27%...and my single-pin spare % was only 68%. The slope of my average trendline was positive (1.0879) but thats largely because I got off to a horrible start bowling a 467, 444, 426, and 477 to start the season in October. I didn't break a 170 game off until the first week of November.

In addition to continuing to try and strive for those same goals, I am going to add one more now that I'm tracking it on a regular basis and that is pocket%.

6) Increase pocket % from 43% to 62% or higher.

Great post, Aslan.

For me, it's to become more consistent and to continue improving.

This summer, I hope to:

- Expand my arsenal.

- Average 190+.

- Increase single-pin spare percentage to 85% or higher.

- Increase strike percentage to 43% or higher.

I've got a tournament coming up in April, the last one of the season. I have one heck of a team lined up, with 2 of the 3 best bowlers in the house (one averages 221, other is 215), a guy with a 200+ from another house, myself and a current teammate. We're the low guys in the upper 170s. Anything less than a win in this tournament is going to be extremely disappointing. So, my goal is to handily win and collect $$$ to expand the arsenal.

My goals for the summer are simple: have fun and quit taking it so seriously!

Best advice. I agree

My main goal is to just make it through the summer season. LOL!!!!!

My goal is to continue my comeback and keep practicing in the summer so I am ready to get back into a scratch league in the fall. I also want to be able to average 210 plus like I did when I quit back in the 2000/2001 season. It is difficult to get out to bowl in the summer when the weather is so nice. Steve

My goal is to actually be able to join a league. And to actually find the style that works for me.

Just working on release basically. Maybe try my hand at a sport league but I'm not sure I'd want 2 leagues for summer

My goal is to get the 10 pin down easily. Still struggling with it. I would love to have no problems with it by the till next fall/winter league begins. I will be bowling in a sports,league so I would also like to average in 170 s in that for me,

My goals are to play in a sport league or two, or one sport and one singles league, and work with my coach Jeri Edwards.
Aslan, sounds like you have a great ambitions. Hope it works.
