2015 Fall Bowling Goals

[Blomer]

Hello all. It's been awhile..

Fall league starts in about 5 weeks here. Last year I averaged 170 in my second year of bowling. My goal this year to to average 180 and to drastically improve on my 10 pin. Been bowling a lot this summer, I'm a teacher so have that extra time, and been reaching that mark and my 10 pins I've been knocking down a lot more than I did last fall. Hopefully it continues.

I'm looking to break the magic 200 average mark by increasing my strike percentage. My spare conversions are pretty good granted that I don't leave too many splits (in my opinion, I haven't tracked my games very closely yet). I'd also like to be a lot better on sport patterns given that I am very inexperienced on them, but I'm not sure they will be available for practice at my center.

I just got a new Galaxy S6 as well, so now I have the "Bowling Night" app installed to track my stats my carefully.

Edit: Also forgot to add, I desperately need a new high game. My high game isn't all that high considering my average. High series would be nice too, but I'm almost certain I'll get a new high series.

Fall goals would be to average 210+ in all 3 leagues I'll be bowling in. I'd also like to throw a 750+ series this year.

Crack the 200 avg barrier. And I just got a S6 as well John. Gonna have to check out that app.

To not make myself look bad in a scratch league.

Well one of my leagues start Saturday it's a high level 4 person mixed league in a house that I've just started to bowl some in. It is another house with wood lanes but from what I've been able to tell so far this house is much higher scoring than the house I'm currently bowling in. My goal there is average 195-200 and my team finish in the top half.

The other main league I will bowl this year is at a synthetic lane house that I've bowled at quite a bit but never a league there. It is also a 4 person mixed league. I've never bowled well in this house the lanes there are slicker than any synthetics I've ever bowled on even when they are dry they play long. I don't have problems getting to the pocket there but carry has always been an issue for me in this house. Most of my equipment is weaker equipment drilled to go long I think this maybe the issue so I'm going to add a stronger piece to the lineup and hope for the best.

I will be bowling with my wife on both of my teams which will be nice. One of the local houses is doing a youth/adult short sport pattern leagues this fall I may bowl some of those with my daughter. I guess my biggest goal is just to feel that I've improved over the fall because I really don't feel that way after this summer especially with the amount of work I put in.

My goals for the next year:

1. Raise average in my 2 leagues to 225. Was at 223 last year in both.
2. Raise my Single pin spare pick up to 96%, last year was 94%. Biggest part is 10 pin - Need to raise it a few more % points, last year was 91%.
3. Shoot 1850-1900 at USBC Open Nationals next year.
4. Maybe a few more 300 games, and would like 1 more 800.

I would also like to raise my average to 200 at 1 house and 195 plus at the other. The houses are quite different and the low average is much more a social league which takes away a lot of concentration. Except on the food that always shows up.

My goal for this year has nothing to do with my average or percentage. My goal for this year is simply to have fun! As a coach and a bowling writer, it is very easy for me to fall into a pattern of taking the game way to seriously. After all, it's a game and unless you have to depend on your bowling to earn a living, it is supposed to be fun.
