Best Night Ever!
Greetings all,
I hope you all had a terrific holiday season. Bowling is back in full swing (it’s been going the last couple of weeks as well, but nothing really exciting to write about) and we got a 4th member for our team and I think that will work out very well.
So, why was it the best night ever? Well, I had a couple of personal bests. First, all of my games were over my average so that’s always a good thing. Second, I had my highest series ever: 633 (for a 211 average for the night). Now, that by itself is enough to make me happy and fairly proud, but there is more.
My last game was absolutely incredible. I opened up with the first 9 frames as strikes and had a perfect game going into the 10th. Well, rather it was nervers, freak release, combination of it all, I didn’t finish the 300 game. I ended up with a 4 spare 8 in the tenth to finish with a 272. Even in practice, where I normally average about 10 pins higher than league, I’ve never broken 270 before. The game got really exciting after I got the first six strikes in a row, also a first for me. I feel good that even after the nerves started kicking in that I continued to strike for a few more frames.
These are the types of nights that make bowling really fun and keep you coming back. Now to find a way to do that kind of thing more consistently.
Have a great day!
