Bowling was a mixed bag last night, but overall I feel ok about it.

 :laugh:

Just as I had feared, we dropped from 6th to 8th place, so we're still in the Top 10.

Last night we played againsted one of the Top 5 teams, so I wasn't expecting much.  LOL  We lost 2 of the three games, but the second game that we won, we beat them by almost 100 pins!   :o  Because of that, we only lost total pins by about 25 pins in total.

I had a high game of 153, so that was good for me.   ;D  While we didn't win, it was a definite improvement over the last two weeks.

LOL

Well, my team is slowly losing ground.  Ugh!

We were 6th for the longest time, last week 8th, this week 9th.  We bowled like crap last night too, only winning one game.

I'm sure next week we'll be out of the top 10.

Time for a bowling update!

 ;D

It wasn't a great night for me.  I bowled at my average, or maybe a little higher.  In truth that's better than it's been the past few weeks, but I'd like to be higher.

However, we played one of the top teams, and they were way off their game last night!  All of them bowled below average, and we beat them all three games, and even "took wood", meaning we knocked down more pins than they did, beating them by almost 300 pins in total.

:o

After last week's big win, we've rebounded back up in the standings to #7.

Last night my first two games were within my average.  I bowled a 123 and 121.  I'm not sure what I stepped in for the last game, but I ended up getting a 161.  ;D

My team won all three games, beating the other team by almost 100 pins.  I'm hoping this puts us into the Top 5 teams.

My best moment of the night came in the 10th frame of the first game (when I finished 123).  I had a score of 93, and I was the last bowler, my team behind by 20 pins.  I managed to turkey out in the 10th frame (get three strikes) and bumped my score up to 123, and helped us to beat the other team by 10 pins.

Have a nice day. The forsythia is commencing to bloom.

Yay, Chuck, for your hat trick (this is better than turkey!) !!!

Truman, in my neck of the woods, there is no forsythia, but the willows that grow in the streams now have bright yellow stems.

Good morning bowling fans!

 :D :laugh:

I'm happy to announce that Bearly Bowling moved back up to #6 in the standings (or as we call it, the best of the worst) and last night we won all three games.

They made us work for it, though!  LOL  They were about the same skill level as we were, so the handicaps were only had a 9 pin difference.  It meant we really needed to bowl well.

Each team bowled about their average, so it was a very close game, and at the end, we only beat them by 45 pins, which is actually a very close match.  When averaged, we only won each game by 15 pins.  If the other team had gotten two more strikes each game, they would've won.

Not sure where we'll be in the standings when they're posted next week, but I hope we at least maintained our position.
