Last night was the last competitive night\u00a0of the summer bowling league.\u00a0 We had\u00a0a nice, strong finish and won all three games plus total pins.\u00a0 The win comes with a bit of an empty feeling as the other team didn’t even show up except for one person and you have to have at least 2 of the 4 be there for anything to count.\u00a0 He seemed very disappointed and upset with his team and who can blame him?\u00a0 Basically, it meant that as long as we were all within 10 pins of our average all games, we’d win.\u00a0 We all bowled fairly well regardless and probably would have won at least 2 of the 3 games even if they had fielded a team.<\/p>\n

I bowled my second best series of the summer, which I’m proud of.\u00a0 Unlike the last good one, which just seemed to be all luck, this time I’d made some changes to my approach and delivery that look to be helping with two of my biggest issues: consistency and speed.\u00a0 Here are my scores and averages for the whole season:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I ended up with an average just 4 pins off of my goal of 170 which isn’t bad considering it was a fairly arbitrary number based on what I used to bowl 7 years ago.<\/p>\n

The next league starts Sept. 6 so that gives me three weeks to just practice, recondition my balls (insert dirty joke here) and get ready for the next season.\u00a0 Don’t worry, the bowling blog portion will return.\u00a0 We’ve even ordered really spiffy bowling shirts and if we can’t beat the other teams with talent, we’ll at least look better losing!<\/p>\n
