Yesterday was week 10 in the adult child league that my daughter and I are in. I have never bowled on a lane that was that heavy with oil. I had absolutely no hook at all. It was like I was bowling with a straight ball. I ended up moving in to the center mark on the floor just so I had a chance at hitting the head pin. I bowled a 161-157, which is far below my average of 179 in the league. We are quickly tumbling in the standings, but the league is really just for fun anyway.

I can't wait for the Experience league to start.

Well, my latest games have been hit or miss, or so it seems. Last Wednesday, I got in three quick games for a practice session, and did decent. I had games of 177-202-191 for a decent series of 570, my third highest ever.

Then yesterday, I go into my first league game and toss a freakin' 138!! I left 4 open frames in a row to start out, and that pretty much doomed me. I finished that game strong though, with three strikes in a row. The second game of the league was a 177, which was mildly better but didn't do much for my league average which nose dived by three pins plus yesterday. Now my league average is 176. My goal is a league average of 180 so with three weeks left in this league, I need to put together a few games in the 180s or 190s with a few 200s plus thrown in for good measure.

Anyway, for the heck of it, I threw a third game to see if I could get my game back. I threw the ball much better in this game, and finished up with a 201. I had no open frames at all in this game, until the very last ball. I just missed dropping the final pin. Hopefully, that form will stay with me next weekend, so I can do that again. Oh well.
