    First week of league at a new house, Classic Oak Creek.

    176/247/230 = 653. This is one of the few houses that when the switch was made to synthetic, the changed the approaches to synthetic as well. They are little tacky in the first place, and couple that with the fact that it was pouring all day, and 60° inside the place when we showed up, had me stumbling around trying to figure out my footwork. Three splits killed the first game. Once settled in, it was like being on remote control, save one missed 10-pin in the second game. Really like this house, insomuch as it looks like the shot holds up well all night. Looks like we have 18 out of a possible 20 teams. Everyone kept their distance. Big selling point is everything seems much less stressed then the house we were at. Looking forward to how this league plays out. I'll take a 217 average to start!

    Weird Tuesday night.

    203/254/162 = 619. Still having footwork issues. at least 15° warmer inside than last week, and volleyball leagues were on, so they had the sides doors open. Approaches were like glue. Did well second game, and then the wheels fell off. Started the 3rd game 10, 10, 10, and 7 pin leaves, and whiffed three out of the four. Ended up with 4 opens in the 3rd game. It wasn't just me, everyone on the team had a bad game. Maybe we all got the bowling corona....Average 212.

    Tuesday night league. Meh.....

    206/170/212 = 588. Did okay, but could not figure out the transition in the second game. Had to throw a 4-bagger to finish just to get to 170, due to 4 splits in a row. They had the side doors open, and it was warm that night. Can't wait until volleyball leagues are over, and they can keep those damn doors closed. Average at 206.

    This is all tempered by the fact that my brother was unable to bowl this week, because he tested positive for Covid. He's not sure where he contracted it. None of the rest of the team is showing any symptoms, nor have we heard of anyone in the league that has come down with it. He didn't come down with symptoms until 5 days after bowling last. At this point, there's almost no way to know where this crap is coming from. He's doing fine, symptoms are starting to fade, but one of his kids got bit, too. She won't talk to him right now. Teenagers.....

    Tuesdays scores. An awakening....

    279/236/214 = 729. 2 single pin leaves to start the first game, then went off the sheet. Started the 2nd game with 3, just to prove to myself I can throw 12 in a row. Last game got bit a little by the transition, which came a lot later than I thought it would. Still had 2 opens one the night (pocket 7-10, and a 1-2-4-10 washout). Made all of my 10 pins for once! Average back to 215.

    Tuesday league. Not good.

    161/194/181 = 536. Felt like I was back in the PBA shot tournament I was playing during the summer. Really didn't feel like I was throwing too bad, but my scores say otherwise. Looked really good in practice, and that's it. blame it all on operator error. Average drops to 208. Try again next week....

    Our lanes were weird last night. Being a lefty it wasn't too bad for me but 2 of my teammates were confused and said there was way more oil than usual. I do know my Igniter wouldn't hook at all up the 10 board where I had been throwing the Uppercut. Usually the 10 board works good with the Igniter. Talked to the PSO (whose team we bowled against) and he agreed the lanes broke down oddly. He commented that he was the only one on his team to roll a 200 on his team that game and their team average was 213 so they have a good team. Their team always jokes with each other so the one guy threw a bad shot and the owner (who is on that team too) told him he sucked so he responded 'I'd do better if you did a better job of oiling'. They were all joking but funny that it came up there too...lol

    Everyone on our pair had issues except for the 2 2-handers on the other team. The oil felt like it just kept moving down and out. You'd finally set up and drill the pocket 2 frames in a row, then throw the same shot and it wouldn't come in. Just seemed like I never caught up with the shot.

    We didn't have any 2 handers on our pair last night but one of our guys is a no thumber and really cranks it across the lane. Looks like a 2 hander. Then the other team has a few crankers. 4 of the 5 on that team are all righties and very high revvers. The owner is a lefty but not that high of revs. Didn't notice any urethane on our pair either

    No scores for this week, and possibly next. Girlfriend having surgery, and I'm not risking getting Covid before she goes in on Friday. See you in a few weeks!

    First week back after 2 weeks off. Not great.

    195/188/191 = 574. Could not get decent carry. I had 3 opens all night, 2 10's and a big four. That split was my only ball out of the pocket all night. Game three I threw 8 9-counts, 6 of them were 10-pins. The whole team had carry issues all night. Not being able to make the right moves might be the most frustrating thing as a bowler, and tonight just wasn't going to come for me. Average down to 205.
