Today was another outing with my brother, and I used the opportunity to practice playing the deep inside line on the house shot. By the third game, playing in around 31, I took a 270 possibility into the 10th frame. I got overconfident, however, and left a “fast 8” (the 4-7). I picked up the spare, and the game should’ve still been in the 240s, but I threw the fill ball in the ditch for a 238. OUCH!
Getting overconfident

I started "The Tenth Board" to chronicle my experiences during the road back to league bowling after my heel fractures in 1999 (it took me 7 years before I started thinking seriously about it). I now use the blog as a combination of a personal bowling journal and a news site mostly about Westgate Lanes (Brockton, MA) and its bowlers. View all posts by Rich
