Well I found out some interesting news.

Saw the post for Bowler of the Month and the guy listed had a 761 series and I remember bowling a 778 on June 26th so I was kind of puzzled on why I didn't win. So an email was sent and the guy answered and said I never received your high score from your secretary.

So needless to say I was not happy and she hasn't posted the 795 I rolled this month either so I asked her about it and she got very defensive and said well I have sent all of your scores to this person and that person. So then after a minute she finally said "Well it was probably my fault because I didn't send it in specifically for Bowler of The Month". So I asked her to please make sure she sends my July high score in.

The bowling alley I go to also gives you gift certificates to their pro shop and granted I have had a few this year and it has been enough to purchase two new bowling balls. But I rolled a 300 about 2 months ago and they still have not given me my certificate yet and I have broght it up a few times and they continue to say we will get it taken care of soon.

NOT!

Okay I am bowling this summer and we are 9 weeks in to a 14 week league. I had my regular teammates ask me if I would bowl with them on the league and I said sure why not. We added another bowler from another team and we were off. Now after the first week where everyone really bowled well for some reason the next 4-5 weeks the wheels fell of and the other guy dropped 36 pins off of his initial average and yes he bowled really well the first week.

Now I didn't really take off big and just kind of went along not doing much and we were not winning games because most of the other teams force us to make up at least 100-200 pins of handicap which as you know is tough if they show up at all. Now the last 3 weeks ahve been a little better for me but I could kick myself in the arse for not finishing out after the first two game and so in the last two weeks I have blown two very makeable 800 series and it just pisses me off.

So last week I started with 275 -278 and then I dropped to a 225 for a 778 series and then last night I threw two games exactly the same and that goes for the place where I had my 10 pin tap. I had the first 10 on both games for a 289-289 start and then I got hot and frustrated and rolled a 217 :( because I had a guy bowling next to me that wanted to talk to me about what I needed to do and what game I need to throw and so on. Plus they have taken down the cover entrance on the back door and just about the third game the sun is beating in to the house and it gets hot and the glare is horrible but still no excuse I blew two very easy 800 series. I am a very quiet person when I bowl and try not to think about what I have to do all I ever want to do is bowl strikes.

Three weeks ago I was averaging about 215 and this week it jumped up to 221 after my 778 series so it will probably jump a few more after my 791 series last night.

I guess I am the only person that gets pissed off when he bowls well :)
