My Week 8 bowling, frame-by-frame

A little bit of everything last night except for first-ball gutter balls and split conversions. I’m proudest of my clean second game, and no missed single-pin spares all night.

My Week 7 bowling, frame-by-frame

I felt I executed better today, but a few early splits and transition misses later held my scores down. I did punch out in the 10th in two of the three games, the first coming when my team needed me.

Average (21 games): 171
Average for last 9 games: 177
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 537

Si had one of his best nights of my recent memory, going 183-179-201 for a 563 set; it helped the team win all four points.

My Week 6 bowling, frame-by-frame

Although my execution was much better in the third game, a couple of untimely splits prevented that game from scoring better. There were a couple of single-pin misses, including one filling the last frame.

Average (18 games): 169
Average for last 9 games: 175

I had the high handicap series in the men’s “B” division last week (632, tied with Joe Chan).

My Week 5 bowling, frame-by-frame

Most of my difficulty was finding the adjustment for the left lane, because I had 5/5 strikes on the right lane in the second game, repeating my first game score in the third when I did find it.

Average (15 games): 168
