Getting old(er)

Before I go into any type of explanation, I need to catch everyone up on my bowling, so below will be my last three BowlSK sheets by date:

Sept. 20
Sept. 27
Oct. 4

I would have thought my bowling would have caught up to my physical wellness by now, but it is, instead, showing me that I’ve gotten older in a bowling sense, because I find myself not being able to do some of the things I used to be able to do on the lanes. Most of this had to do with keeping the ball right of the head pin, something I adjusted for by doing something fellow bowler David Gomes suggested, taking my wrist aid, which I’d been bowling with for the past decade or more, off. He suggested it during the first night of the stretch above (one of the worst of my life, I’ll add), but I didn’t take the advice until midway through practice the second night of this sequence. While I’m still not “right”, I’m at least back around the pocket again and will build on my improving nights from there.

Current stats:

Average (15 games): 147
Average for last 9 games: 139
AVG+1 score for tonight: 458

Standings update will follow later today.
