Dec. 2 league night recap
December 3, 2009My Week 13 bowling, frame-by-frame (Link to BowlSK)
I just had too many splits tonight, especially in the third game, when I had four of them. It would figure the bulk of the splits came in the third game because, with the guys on “Butz N Gutz” chewing up the lanes, this was one of the few times I see proper transition, and I made too little of a move inside, only arriving at the proper adjustment at the end of the night. Oh well!
Result: 213-174-149=536
Average (39 games): 184
Average for last 9 games: 185
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 569
On the bright side, my team took the second game point, and getting any points is an accomplishment for us against this set of opponents. John led the way in the second game with a 170 (37 pins over his average), while the true hook bowlers (including myself and most of “Butz N Gutz”) struggled to find anything on lane 36.
