I had what I thought was my best overall practice session since my return to bowling today, posting a 135-142-173=450, which was only 6 pins off my best series since my return, and the 173 represents my best game in that time. My spare shooting continues to improve slowly, but the highlight of this practice session was closing out the last game with a turkey (three strikes in a row), my longest string of strikes in quite a while. That’s what I call finishing with a flourish! 😀
After practice, I caught up with an old bowling friend, Ron Lawson, who had been my doubles partner in the city championship tournament many years ago, who was practicing on another pair of lanes. I told him it was my intent to return to leagues, about the adjustments I had to make due to my heel fractures, and that I was blogging all of my bowling stuff. I hope to see him again frequently in the near future.
Other notes:
- I have been set up with a locker at the lanes, which means I won’t have to lug my gear around on the bus, and also that I can take my bicycle to the lanes when the weather is good, thus getting in my aerobic exercise.
- Next Monday is the Columbus Day holiday, and Westgate Lanes does not offer half-price bowling on holiday Mondays; therefore, I will not practice next Monday.
