Joe Bourhill throws 300 in NAT Year-End Doubles at Town Line

It almost escaped me when I was wrapping up posting, but I remembered seeing that Joe Bourhill of the Patriots league threw a 300 game Sunday at Town Line in the first round of the elimination finals of the NAT Year-End Doubles. I’m not certain who recorded the video that’s above, but it was on Joe’s timeline. WTG man! 🎳💯

Westgate Lanes closed at least three weeks due to Brockton COVID rollback

Per the post above, Westgate Lanes, due to the reopening rollback issued by executive order of Brockton mayor Robert Sullivan, will be closed for three weeks from this past Wednesday (Dec. 16) for bowling, arcade, and billiards. They will, however, be allowed to remain open for dining, but with no bar seating. Please, if you can, stop in once in a while and enjoy dinner, and even do take-out dining, if you’re able to (I think Yogi & Tim will let you do that.).

In a separate post by the Brockton Strike F/X that I shared on the Facebook page, they have reported that Westgate has allowed them to remain open while Westgate is closed for bowling, and I have pinned the share of that post to the top of my page as a reminder to do your holiday shopping for the bowlers there if you can. Happy Holidays! 🎳🎄🎅

Dec. 9 Brunswick Mixed recap

My Week 13 bowling frame-by-frame

This sort of felt like a missed opportunity, given how well I felt I was throwing the ball in the first game, and some of my second game struggles carried into the third game, as well. However, my late parallel move out gave me a chance to save the night if I could carry in the 10th.

Result: 185-146-167=498
Average (36 games): 164
Average for last 9 games: 155
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 519

We were facing an undermanned team, yet couldn’t win points because the bowler they had did well (Similar to me in the early season, one absent and two vacant, which is legal in this league.).

2020-21 Brunswick Mixed Week 12 standings update

Kevin had the high scratch & handicap game in his division (men’s “B”) last week (shown in the league’s weekly high divisional scores here).

Dec. 2 Brunswick Mixed recap

My Week 12 bowling, frame-by-frame

Admittedly, I threw a few bad shots, but carry was a bit brutal tonight as well, the biggest case-in-point being the first game, when I threw two really great shots that left blower 7s, which I compounded the problem by missing. The Marvel Pearl seemed to look better than the Tropical, so I might take the latter ball in to Kevin in the shop when I get a chance.

Result: 148-167-154=469
Average (33 games): 164
Average for last 9 games: 154
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 522

Having Kevin means we’re usually good for a point, but that was all for us tonight against one of the leading teams.
