Before I get to my bowling tonight, I must report that the league lost one of its long-timers yesterday: Bob “Creek” Creeden, who was a member of “The Mustangs.” The bowlers in the league showed to black and yellow balloons in the settee area for my league, with a Boston Bruins balloon marking the lane his team was assigned to (Creek apparently was a huge Bruins fan). There was also a moment of silence in the building before the lanes were turned on for warm-ups. The bowlers in the league signed a bowling pin and a card for the family, and a collection was taken up for a donation to the Joe Andruzzi Foundation (his designated charity). For those interested, click here for the death notice, which includes the arrangements (I plan on visiting tomorrow evening.).
My Week 24 bowling, frame-by-frame (Linked to BowlSK series sheet)
From my BowlSK comment:
Started to get a feel for proper axis rotation after a friend online told me how to properly adjust my wrist device for it. Night would’ve been better, but all of the splits (especially the four in the first game) hurt; just one miss on a really easy spare tonight, so I’m happy about that.
It should be said that “CoachJim” was the friend online.
Result: 147-200-165=512
Average (72 games): 186
Average for last 9 games: 178
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 626
I had to count on my teammates to pick me up tonight, and two of them stepped up: Carl, who had a 178 after hitting exactly his average (129) in the first two games, and John, who broke 500 tonight on his second league night with a new ball; indeed, John beat me scratch tonight, as he had a 529. As a result, the team had its first winning night against a non-vacant team in a while. 😀
