Bowl a 160

Today the lady friend and I bowled 5 games as part of a $10 for 2 hours deal (shoes included!). We also got a pitcher of Sammy A., so my scores, of course, improved as I approached the 2.5 beer mark and then tapered off afterwards.

1st game—125
2nd game—126
3rd game—158, only 2 points away from my goal!
4th game—148
5th game—114, not so good.

• Use the arrows for aiming
• Follow through and point where I want the ball to go
• Crouch and roll the ball instead of bouncing it
• Use a 12 pound ball so my arm doesn’t tire

Cool, cool. I think right now my highest score was 154, which seems pretty reasonable to me, as there were a good deal of strikes and spares mixed in there. I do usually nail a couple strikes and a few spares in each of my games (and I’ve gotten turkeys on a few occasions). Even on my poor games I break one hundred. The lady friend jokes that I improve after 1 or 2 beers (which certainly seems to be true based on empirical observation) but at the same time, after about the second game my shoulder usually hurts. Finding a ball with large finger-holes yet reasonable weight can be difficult.

Well, I finally did it! I bowled a 170 last night (passed my 160 goal)! Now onto bowling a 175! Hmmmmm…maybe next week?
Have you thought of a bet yet B? I actually might be able to get a 175 next week!

Another night of bowling. Trying for 160 again. We’ll see if I get close tonight.

I tried to get to 160!

I bowled a 124, 145 and a 150. I was getting closer each game, but couldn’t quite get there. I REALLY want to do this next week so I can move onto bowling a 175!! I’ve got a bet a have to win!

Oh well…I’ll do it one of these days!!

My goal for a long time now has been to bowl a 160 during my league night. My highest game so far is 153. I bowled a 173 one time when I was just practicing, so I know I can do this. I just need to get over 160 when I bowl with my team! Last night I only got a 127, 120, and a 133. Oh well…try again next week!!
