Greetings to one and all (mostly I’m pretty sure it’s just my wife and the J that read this, and for that I truly thank you) <\/p>\n

It isn’t exactly quite mid-season, but given that the rest of my team will miss the next two weeks I’m thinking we will just forfeit.\u00a0 Of course, I’ll still probably go and bowl, but most likely not as part of my team at those times.\u00a0 Given that, I’ll go ahead and reflect on my performance to this date.<\/p>\n

Here are all of my scores up until now:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

We’ll start with the bad news and move on to the good news.\u00a0 First thing that sticks out is the fact that my best week (and only 200 game of the season) was the first week.\u00a0 I have no real explanation for this.\u00a0 The other truly bad statistic is in 45 games so far, I’ve not had one clean game at all.\u00a0 I don’t get that many in practice (I’ve only had 2 in about 90 games over the same time period) but that indicates a lot of missed easy spares.\u00a0 My average would easily jump 10-20 pins a game if I could just stop missing so many single pin spares, which are really inexcusable to miss with such a relatively large margin of error.<\/p>\n

Now to take some positive things from these stats.\u00a0 First, I’m within a 4 pin range for each of my games each week.\u00a0 That means that I don’t consistently have a bad game based only on where it comes out of the three.\u00a0 So week to week, I may have a bad game 1, but overall it seems to even out.\u00a0 Also, my average has stayed consistent since it came down from that really inflated first few weeks.\u00a0 It may mean I haven’t improved much, but it also means I haven’t declined either.<\/p>\n

I have been working on many tweaks in my game from my stance, to approach, to release and I’m hoping that from the lesson I’ve taken so far to some more planned lessons in the future that these changes will pay off in the long term.<\/p>\n

Most importantly, I still enjoy going every week and as long as I’m having fun, I will continue.\u00a0 Of course, you always have more fun if you can see yourself improving, but I’m sure that will come in time.<\/p>\n

I hope that all of you have a truly Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.\u00a0 Be safe over the holidays and hopefully you’re able to take some time off to enjoy the season!<\/p>\n
