I had wanted to bowl in my first Northeast Amateur Tournament at Wonder Bowl in New Bedford today, but my best friend Ed was running well late, and, by the time he said he’d get here, I felt we wouldn’t get there in time to register for the second squad, so I called off the tournament. NAT entries are all taken on-site, so the cash I was going to use will be deposited and put to use later (likely as my entry for the People’s Tournament next month at Westgate Lanes).
Ed joined me in bowling a few games at Westgate Lanes, instead, and I continued to work on what “CoachJim” gave me. I may not really be good bowling back-to-back days, though, b/c I only made my average one of the three games. My highlight was converting a 4-5 split, which I picked up by moving 4 boards right and throwing my strike ball at my strike target. Ed, for his part, broke 100 in his third game and also picked up a similar split (the 5-6).
