Nice Bowling Vdub

[vdubtx]

Thanks Amyers. Was bowling against a 187 average(yeah right) bowler who could not miss the pocket. Cranker with ton of revs and he had incredible carry. First 2 games he had my by 22 and 2 pins respectively. Game 3 we were matching each other, he left 10 pin to start and ran off 6 in a row. He tugged and went high and I struck for my 7th. He opened and I struck a few more times to catch the 24 he was up on me and beat in totals by 9 pins.

Our opposing team last night is for sure sand bagging when they want to. Their anchor bowler last week had a 290, very good bowler when I watched him during leagues last year. He is only averaging 204 right now.

I bowled against a woman last Sunday who averages 125 never missed the pocket on a single shot all night. She's not a sandbagger just had that kind of night She ended up with a 740 handicap series. Not beating that with my 10 pins of handicap.

My wife and I joined a league at a different center this fall. It's a senior recreational league, supposedly, where the handicap is set at 95% of 225. The center caters to senior leagues, and puts out 35 feet of very light oil to let the non-bowlers think that they can hook a ball. Personally, I averaged 171 for the first six weeks, and figured out last week that I need to start the league where I end up after four games in my other leagues. Once I figured it out, I was actually able to bowl over 200, at least for my first game. Guess what happened. I was accused of sandbagging. Personally I'm not saying that sandbagging does not exist. I know it does. I do think, however, that accusations of sandbagging are thrown around way too often for the good of the game.

After seeing YOU IN ACTION if Vegas, I would say you ARE a Sandbagging Bowling Machaine! In the finales you DID JUST WHAT you needed to win each game, including beating ICEMAN by 3 fricken pin by striking out in the 10th. 224, Ice,,,,, 227 Sandbagger, I mean Rob!!



Is Rob a SANDBAGGER?? hummmmmmm,,, or just LUCKY!!! Was it JUST Lucky Strikes,,,, LOL

Thursday Fun Night

I knew coming into tonight it would be a competitive night. Even though it is my fun night we were bowling against a good bowler, 2nd high average in the league.

In warm ups, I wasn't able to find a good line with the Hyper Cell. Stuck with it though and made a few adjustments.

Game 1 started off the night tugging the ball and went very high brooklyn for a lucky strike. Followed that up with the next 5 before leaving a 10 pin. Went high leaving 3-10, then punched out for a nice 267. Beat the other bowler by 32 pins.

Game 2 kept going where I left off starting with a strike, 10 pin, double, in the pocket with the 7-10 standing and 1 pin rolling which luckily took out the 10 pin before pin setter came down. Next time up ringing 10 pin. Then ran off the next 5 before picking my speed up and leaving a bucket in the fill for a nice 244. Beat my competitor by 53.

Game 3 started with a 10 pin, turkey, 7 pin, turkey, 10 pin and turkey to finish out with a good 248. Other bowler had me this game, he put together a nice 268.

267-244-248 = 759

All in all not too shabby and a 30 clean series. Can't complain about that at all. 5 10 pin pick ups, 2 7 pins and the one 3-10 were all that stood the whole night for a 75% strike percentage and 9.64 first ball average.

My team barely showed up tonight and we lost all 4. All good though, we always have fun and I won 2 hands of poker along with multiple "money balls". Money ball is a quarter game we play where every 5th strike the team has pays out $0.50 per member. I can typically walk out of there with $5 in quarters some nights.
