My Week 11 bowling, frame-by-frame (Link to BowlSK)
This was not really the night I was hoping to use to follow up on my 28/30 clean 640 set of last week, but any night I can strike better than half of the time, I’ll take it at this point. After the first game, I was thinking, “Holiday bonus week is in my head again,” but, turning my attention to helping the team win, I had better games and actually ended up better than 50 pins over my average on the night. It still wasn’t enough to get the holiday bonus (as I’ll explain later), but at least I know I can have a good night on an important night on the league schedule. I’m also feeling much better about my recent bowling with the back-to-back 600+ nights.
Result: 167-222-216=605
Average (33 games): 185
Average for last 9 games: 197
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 563
The bowler on my team who may be best in line for one of the holiday bonuses is Eileen, who had both a personal best game (171) and personal best series (405) tonight. The team ended up taking 3 of 4 (losing only second game thanks to my 10 pin whiff in the last frame), so that made me happy, as well. I know I’m out of the running because one of my buddies, who now does not want me to acknowledge him by name online, had a 277 game en route to a personal best 753. I’ll let my readers figure out who I’m talking about when the standings sheets get posted.
