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 :)
