My qualification attempt, frame-by-frame (Linked to BowlSK series sheet)
I missed the cut again, but only by 34 pins, and, if it wasn’t for my inability to find the pocket last game, things probably should have been different. I can feel I’m growing as a bowler, however: I was proud of my second game (227 scratch) not only because it was a good game, but it was clean, as well, and on a tough shot (they had the Coke league’s shot out). I had a chance at the second game side pot, as well (260 with handicap), but my buddy Sean aced me out for second place.
I should note that I tried something in the tournament that seemed to help me with my spare shooting: going through my entire first-ball pre-shot routine on second ball, as well. I’ll keep doing this and see if I pick up a few more spares than before.
