My Week 15 bowling, frame-by-frame (Link to BowlSK)
This was a pretty normal night, as my nights go, but three things stood out:
- I was finally able to get a “messenger” 10 (where {usually} the head pin comes off the side wall and takes out a standing 10 pin for a right-hander; also often called a “scout”) in the 3rd frame of the second game. That had yet to happen in my return.
- I went back to throwing my spare ball at my left corner pins (4 and 7), and, while I missed one each of the 4 and 7, I found that I could be effective with it as long as I don’t pull the shot (which happened on both misses).
- I left 4 single 10 pins and made them all…always a good thing.
Result: 161-202-191=554
Average (45 games): 184
Average for last 9 games: 183
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 563
My friend Bonnie asked for, and was granted by a vote of the team captains, a transfer to my team’s opponents this week, “Foxy SRS,” and the addition of Bonnie made them immediately better, as they took all 4 points from us last night. For my team, not much really stood out except for Eileen again, who posted up a 416 total (averaging 114 going in) and is likely in the running for the Christmas holiday bonus in her division, just as she was at Thanksgiving.
