    Default First place!

    It's way too early in the season to celebrate anything seriously, but my team is in first place alone for the first time since I've started back bowling in 2014. We are 30-12 after 7 weeks. Our highest finish for any half is 12th.

    Glad my team stepped up to carry me tonite. I started with a 159 with three pocket 7-10's. I had 5 pocket 7-10's tonite total, which included one in my 238 the last game.
    Over the last 4 weeks my team is 26-2.

    Just one of those nights. I never missed the pocket in game one or two, shot 159, 191. Couple of crummy shots in game 3 but carried better including throwing the last 6 in a row. 238. Go figure.

    I love that feeling of being in first, then the sinking feeling that you have to keep out doing your self to hold onto that not so much. But that's what will drive you to do better and the thrill of competition kicks in as soon as that first ball is released. Great job and keep grinding.

    We replaced one bowler from last year to get another one with a higher average to boost us up, but we are in first despite of him. In one other league he's averaging 210. With us he's averaging around 170. 7 weeks in and he can't figure out the shot. THS but on 50 year old wooden lanes where the shot dries up and makes you move left all night. He just can't get it going yet.

    We bowled the only team that spots us pins last night. Lost the first game by 42 sticks. Then we turned in on and won games two and three by over 100 pins scratch. Hopefully we stayed in first since we were only up by a point.
