I spent pretty much all of practice today working on keeping my left arm in, so I wasn’t really focusing on score today, but 2 games ended up being under my practice average, so I kind of regressed, but I’m OK with that…sometimes you have to take a step back in order to get better, and with my return to league bowling approaching, I want to use the remaining time in the winter season to work on my game. I already have enough of an idea of where I stand after having 78 games of “official” practice under my belt, so I’m not so concerned about practice score now. In my next practice (not next week, as per note below), I will probably work on the towel drill.
Result: 136-148-173=457
Running average (78 games): 163 Last 9 average: 153
Holiday note: Next Monday is the Patriots’ Day holiday in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. As schools in the state also take a vacation that week, Westgate Lanes is likely to treat Monday as a holiday and charge the holiday rate (meaning no half-price special). Being ever mindful of my budget, I will therefore take the week off.
Edit to NAT post: As I alerted in my last post, I have edited that post with the name of the bowler who shot the 289 game in the NAT tournament yesterday.
Exhibition match Saturday: In connection with this coming weekend’s NEBA tournament at Westgate Lanes, USA Bowling Pro Shops will hold an exhibition match on Saturday between Alex Aguiar of North Dartmouth, who recently cashed in the US Open and was also the winner of the 2004 Storm Las Vegas Challenge, and Mike Rose Jr., the 2007 USBC Open All-Events champion. Both bowlers will hang around after the match for autographs and to answer bowling questions. The match will begin at 3:30 PM EDT.
