Although I had some moments, this was just an overall bad night. I didn’t have the speed control I had last week, and I missed my target a few times, to boot. Add to that the fact that I missed 4 single pins by not very much, and you get an idea of how bad it was. I’m just fortunate that my average stayed at 184, but that means (as I note below) I need another 600 next week to get near 185.
Result: 161-160-175=496
Average (90 games): 184 Last 9 games average: 196
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 619
The bad night carried over to my team, as we lost all 3 games by 50+ pins. “Backyard Bowlers” are still the last place team, but they significantly closed the gap to us tonight. Mark Boerman set the tone for them early with a four-bagger, and they did little slowing down the rest of the way.
There are only three weeks remaining in the season.
