The bowling is going strong this year.?I�ve got?a fantastic four-ball lineup to choose from that allows me to dial in from my favorite spot with ease.?They go from strong, all the way to the weakest of weak, a plastic ball.?Each of the four is drilled so well, I can�t tell the difference from one to the other except by the feel, or texture.?
Last night, I threw my first 700 series (actual) and a 279 (actual), during which a threw eleven strikes, with a 9/ in the sixth� when I got to thinking about how cool it would be to get my first 300.?I yanked the shot just a little bit, but simmered down immediately after.
Now, if you�re wondering why that wasn�t a 290-something, it�s the placement of the spare.?Strikes count the next two balls, so that strike in the 7th was worth 30-points.?Ten for the strike, plus the next two balls, which were strikes.?If that 9 had been on the very last ball, that�s a 299.?If it had been on the second to last, 289.?Make sense??I know, it�s rather complex and it took me forever to get a grasp on it.
Anyway, in addition to that near-perfect 279, I threw a respectable 191 on the first game as I struggled to find a good line, then a 233 the second game (after I did find the line I could work).?Add them up and that�s a 703 actual, my best series by something like 50 pins (if memory serves).
I had a smile stretched across my face for some time last night.?Pretty cool.?
Now, if you check the categories for this post, you�ll see �recovery� is checked.?Our team name, and nobody has ever caught this in the three decades the team has been around, stands for �Clean & Sober�.?We�re a recovering team.?Currently, I think we�ve got something like eight or nine decades cumulatively.?
