    3rd time not the charm

    Thursday, November 20, 2008, 07:31 AM [General]

    Didn't do real well last night, which is unfortunate especially since I'm going to miss the next two weeks of bowling due to traveling for Thanksgiving and then a business trip to California.

    Started off ok with a 209, which wasn't bad considering I whiffed a 10-pin in the 2nd frame.

    Second game I was inconsistent and the lanes really started jumping, had a split and another missed 10-pin for 191.

    Third game was a disaster.  I had to work my butt off to keep it from being a full-out embarrasment.  Splits the first two frames. Then two strikes. Then another split. Strike.  Gutter-ball, 8-count. I closed out strong for a 176.  My biggest problem was moving two boards left to compensate for the dryness, but wasn't throwing the same shot when I did it, so I was going through the beak anyway. Finally I moved back to my original shot and heightened my backswing to get the ball further down the lane before the breakpoint.   Adjustment made too late and it cost me.

    Now I have to wait until December 10th to bowl again.  Ugh.  I can't wait to bowl again, the minute I leave the alley -- this is gonna kill me.

    Look at it this way. Maybe the break is exactly what you need. You can clear your mind of bowling and just go about life as you normally do.

    Come back and get a fresh start like it's a whole new season and who knows, you could have a breakout finish to the season.

    Have fun on your trip.
