Timmyb's scores

[Timmyb]

Good night.

216/257/208=681. First two games clean. First ball in the 3rd, and off my hand, knew this was going to be an "uh oh" ball. Crashed through the nose, leaving a 3-4-6-7-9-10 split. Got 5 of them, but then the struggle was on. My teammate has started throwing a new urethane ball, and 2 of us started to struggle with finish in the 8th, 9th, and 10th. Left a 2-8-10, and a 2-10 (made) to finish the game. Going to have to learn how to read quicker if his line is starting to affect mine in the future. Average stays 223.

Was going to be a decent night.....

215/241/179=635. Feeling a little out-of-sorts walking in on Tuesday. Figured it was just a case of "hadafewtoomany" the night before. Still made good shots in the first 2, with 1 open in each game. Last game I couldn't get my head right. Just felt wobbly, and it showed with 3 opens (all splits). Wednesday morning came, and we were off to get Covid tested. So far just feels like a really bad head cold, but not taking any chances with this crap. Average drops 1 to 222.

Hope ya feel better soon. One of the guys on my team wasn't there Tuesday night cause he tested positive and another guy I was sitting with last week talking to was also out with COVID. Like I said in another post, it's everywhere right now but from what I'm hearing the cases aren't as harsh as they had been in the past.

Still a decent night Timmyb other than the 179 last game but it happens. I seem to bowl right with you as a 30 clean 675 last week and 30 clean 634 this week. Steve

So far, feels like a bad head cold. Still haven't gotten test results back.

No scores this week. Still in isolation. Definitely ready to go back next week!

Tuesday's scores. Bit of a rough return....

201/190/278=669. Could not keep my shot going where I wanted it. For the most part, everything was going right, and I could not seem to steer the ball to the shot I knew was out there. Only by blind luck that the scores in the first two were even what they were. Finally got my act together in the 3rd game. 7 straight off the start, and that 8th ball was the loudest ring-10 I think I've seen. Looking forward to next week. Average stays 222.

Another week full of mistakes and regret.

225/231/198=654. Since November, I've been a walking 700 series, but only have 3 to show for it due to the high amount of mistakes. Game 1--3 off the start, and then missed a 3-6-9-10, and whiffed a 10 pin. Game 2--4 off the start, them whiffed another 10. Game 3--5 off the start, then blew a 2-4-5, missed another 10, and left a 6-7-10 in the 10th. I'll excuse the miss on the split, maybe give myself a break on the bundle, but this crap with missing 10's has got to stop. I'm not sure where my head is on these, but it's not in the right place. Average stays 222.

These scores are just crazy good. Even Covid doesn't phase you. You just roll back in the bowling alley and nearly drop a perfect game like it's nothing.

You need to start thinking about what you next "goal" is...because you can put a check mark next to "average 220+ on a THS".

In reply to Aslan, the "THS" got myself, and my team tonight. Let's just reiterate the fact that I hate 7&8 at Classic Lanes....

196/207/203=606. Again, I hate 7&8. Left 9 10-pins (missed one). Also chopped a 4-8, and tanked a 7 pin. I've had twice this many opens and left with a better series. Was never out of the pocket, but just couldn't find a way to carry strikes. Be it topography or mentality, this pair has had my number for 2 years running. Average drops 1 to 221.

Now, for the team aspect. We took 5 of 7. Never in my life have I bowled under such lopsided circumstances. The woman we bowled had a combined total handicap of 927 pins. The one I bowled against had a 260-something series. Just 2 of them totaled more than 200 pins per game. We almost got the one we lost, but literally, we were finally passing them in the 10th of each game we won. Nothing quite like bowling 4 against 6.....
