After taking a couple of weeks off from practice (first week to recover from my busy birthday weekend, and the second because of the Labor Day holiday), I hit the practice lanes again today. Since I knew the Coke Classic League would start their bowling for the season tonight, I had to ask Bev (who has returned to full-time duty) which lanes had the house shot and to make sure she knew to give me a lane with the house shot. Bev also informed me that the half-price Monday rate went up to $2/game, so my gift cards are going to be used up a bit quicker.
I just wanted a light-hearted practice, so I was shooting every game for score, and ended up with a game in the 180s, a game in the 190s, and a 205 last game. I got plenty of work on my single 10 pin, as I was leaving a bunch of weak 10s, and made all but one of them, so at least there was progress on that front. I mentioned the plethora of weak 10s to Bobby Hamilton, who was putting down the Coke Classic shot on their lanes, and he told me that, to him, the new pins (just put in for the start of the fall/winter season) seemed heavier than the old set, so scores are going to be relatively low until the pins are broken in. I also brought in a printout of my Wednesday night series as entered on BowlSK to show everyone my “new toy online” (Thanks cg! 😀 ).
