1.31/17

219/194/224 637 Series with a 17/12/4/3 line.


2 of my 4 open frames were missed 10 pins as my run of consecutive converted 10 pins ends at 16. Lane 18 was out of control tonight with highway robbery to pretty much everyone. So many weird happenings tonight including at one point all 4 bowlers on lanes 17,18,19, and 20 leaving a 10 pin and then they proceeded to go 0 for 4 in converting the spare. Including 2 pocket back end leaves where pins slid a full position much like the
Our team went 5-2 on the night only losing game 2 by a mere 8 pins after 3 of 4 bowlers struck out in the 10th. We woke back up game 3 breaking our last week's high handicap game (959) we shot a 976. We now sit at 14-7 for the third third of the season and 77-84 for the season.
We need to channel our Aaron Rodgers and "Run the table" if we want any chance at making the playoffs this year. 201.99 average thru 23 weeks (69 games)

2017 USBC City Tournament results:

Doubles: 170/162/236 568 Series

Singles: 251/234/185 670 Series

Couldn't figure a damn thing out the first 2 games. In fact had 6 splits in the first 18 frames. Even had to strike out game 1 to hit 170. Game 2 was much of the same. Then game 3 moved to the 10 board and set the ball down right at the foul line with no loft and a ton of speed over the 7-8 boards and found a groove that continued into singles even after moving lanes. Game 6 I started to lose it and had an abysmal miss in the 9th frame going 81 with a 6-10 leave.
670 was highest singles series for today by 12 pins and good for 4th highest overall so far. Still have one more weekend though and the Team event is next Sunday. Also won $20 in the raffle, went +$6 in brackets and collected a plethora of towels.

249/226/248 723 Series with a 25/10/0/0 line.
The 700 drought is over! (Last league 700 series 10/27/15 (752)) Might be my cleanest night ever or at least in recent memory. I've gone a full night without an open frame before but it's been a long time. I had luck on my side on some of these strikes most notably the foundation frame (9th) of game 3 where my ball came in high leaving what should have been a 4-9 split but crazy pin action kicked the 4 bouncing it into the 9 that barely went into the pit. Insanely lucky. That put me on a XXXX bagger and pretty much clinched the 7. I then went X9/ in the 10th.
As a team we won game 1 945-911, lost game 2 839-919, and won game 3 892-844. We also took total pins by the narrowest of margins 2676-2674. Going 5-2 on the night we sit at 26-9 for the third third of the season and back above .500 for the year at 89-86.
On a side note it's extra special when you're up against the pro shop owner's team and beat him by 96 pins for series. 202.41 Average thru 25 weeks (75 games)

2017 USBC City Tournament Results:
Team Event- 221/202/222 645 Series
Averaged 1 open per game on some bad shots. I think I was high man again for the morning team event but I missed out on brackets because I showed up late from getting off work at 2:30 am and events began at 9 am. This sucked because I probably would have cashed. Did win $10 in the raffle again. The rest of our team struggled a bit so we probably won't place for team event.
All Events Totals (Singles/Doubles/Team):
1883 Scratch
2036 Handicap
No idea where this will land me but I heard 1st place scratch was 1910.

Well I bowled the team event of our annual city tournament (I didn't bowl D/S), the first game was embarrassing and the other two not much better.

Everyone was bowling much better than I, The only bright spot was the unofficial standings say we took first place. A couple of the guys on the team are doing good in doubles and singles also.

We bowled the very last squad of the last day and we were the only team on that squad!

The shot was from what I heard just a modified house shot (41').

So we had the lanes all to ourselves and we knew what was high (except for what was bowled on the squad directly before us, but as far as we know they weren't over the current high.)

High handicap score was 3300 something, so we figured if we shot 3000 scratch we were covered. The team shot 2973 scratch for a 3463 handicap score,so we should have it by around a 100 pins or so.



The first game I was pulling the ball alot, The next two games I got into the swing of it. But I wasn't carrying the strikes, so had to focus on the spares.

So games 2 & 3 I stayed pretty clean, but it didn't add up to much.



Strikes 21%
Spares 60%
Opens 31%

2/21/2017

157/212/204 573 Series with a 17/8/9/4 line.

Too amped up game 1 leaving splits-o-plenty and wash outs throwing too hard or too soft couldn't find a comfortable speed. 2 of my 9 opens were a missed 10 pin and 4 pin the rest washouts and splits.
As a team we lost them all with the most brutal one being Game 3 where I XXXX'd out but we lost 821-823. This is going to put us back into the middle of the pack for the third third of the season. I think we're still mathematically alive with just a few weeks left but tonight was rough.
In lighter news for City tournament it was confirmed I finished 4th in Scratch Series (670), 3rd in All Events handicap (1883), and as a team we somehow finished in 4th place which is a shocker because we didn't bowl that great overall. 201.97 Average thru 26 weeks (78 games)

2/28/17
224/237/237 698 Series with a 22/10/1/0 line.



Tonight was the most comfortable I've felt in my approach and release all year. It began with just telling myself to make quality shots and hit my mark even looking at my mark for a full second or two after the ball rolled over it.



I began standing 11 and shooting 7-8 board and didn't move the entire night. I think I missed the pocket 3 times in 3 games. Also included was some of the most frustrating back end leaves on perfect pocket hits in game 3 (10 pin and 8 pin) in recent memory. My only open of the night was an abysmal 8 pin miss in the 7th frame of game 3 which cost me my 700.



Unfortunately we were up against an opponent who also hit the zone tonight. A 161 average bowler shot 622 and a 176 average bowler shot 630. We lost them all for the second straight week and our playoff chances are mute at this point which is ok because I found out half my team won't be able to bowl the final week of the season. 203.11 average thru 27 weeks (81 games)

3/7/17- 220/178/160 558 Series

3/14/17- 158/184/226 568 Series
3/21/17

205/205/206 616 Series with a 16/15/1/0 line.
The closest I've ever come to a triplicate. I needed an 8 count at the end of game 2 and got it. I then needed a XX8 finish in game 3. Going into the 10th I had everything calculated. The final ball I even tried to come in high in the pocket and left a 7 pin for a no tap 300 even though I didn't throw more than XX in a row the entire night.
We took the first 2 games until our opponents woke up taking game 3 and total pins by 7 (2707-2700) which gave them a 1 game roll off for the wildcard spot. Crazy drama late. We finish the season 95-114. Next week is playoffs and we're not playing for anything so I may try some stuff out.
202.16 Average thru 30 weeks (90 games)
