I bowled in the CT senior tourney Yesterday. Tourney started last Sunday and ends Today. There are three squads of 3 games each day and participants have to bowl two squads. Some people bowl one squad on two days. I think most sign up for two, back to back on the same day, which is what I did. Not wanting to have to get to Circle Lanes in East Haven by 8am I did the second and third squads.

Talking to one friend who was bowling 1st & 2nd, I heard that the lanes seemed to be hooking a lot. When I started bowling I quickly found I had to start more to the inside than usual. In hindsight I think I was subconsciously trying to stay close to my usual area and trying to throw it perfectly. Only in the last two frames was I able to relax roll three strikes in a row over 17 at the arrows.

Despite the struggle, as much with myself as with the lanes, it was a fun day being surrounded by people who were fun to bowl with.

If you want to know my scores were:
182, 188, 174, 168, 169, 197
