I threw a bowling ball (well, my ball, anyway) for the first time in about a month or so the other day. I went to Town & Country Lanes to get some practice in before the Bowling & Golf Outing this Saturday.
I practiced shooting 10-pins and ball placement mostly. However, the lanes are obviously being flooded for the summer and it was difficult to practice my usual style. I threw in mostly from the gutter, i.e. the extreme Norm Duke!
Providing the alley puts an actual pattern down for the tournament, I'll probably be throwing my Red Alert, but who knows. I tend to need a different ball every time I bowl there.
As for the weather, I keep hoping that Saturday will be nice but the forecasts seem to worsen by the day. It went from being sunny last week to isolated thunder storms today. Hopefully things go smooth.
I haven't posted in a while so I thought I'd give a little heads-up on what to expect. Well... pretty much nothing!
I've been trying to rack up some hours at work before I take my first steps into Moravian College. I haven't bowled in about three weeks or so. I have, however, been trying to golf at least once each week.
On Saturday, June 14th, I'll be participating in Town & Country Lanes' traditional Bowling & Golf Outing. They usually do two or three each summer and I always partner up with my dad, who happens to golf every day. I take care of the bowling and he takes care of the golf and we usually finish somewhere in the middle, lol.
The tournament involves three games of bowling and a round of golf - each is a scramble (best ball). It's a really fun day with little pressure to win. With the entry fee comes open bar for drafts and tons of good food at the bowling alley - tough to top that!
I just hope it doesn't rain!
I'm gonna head out to the lanes once or twice before the tournament and will let everyone know how my practice sessions went. I'll also post how we finished in the tournament.
I hope everyone is enjoying their break from bowling. For those doing summer leagues, best of luck to ya!
I'll keep posting throughout the summer. I bowled a few weeks last year as a sub on the PBA pattern. I learned a lot, and I think it helped me overall this year. I am feeling pretty good about this summer, but I know not to expect to shoot the lights out. I am just hoping to have a respectable average. Will keep you posted. BTW, if you do get to bowl in a tourney over the summer, good luck. Maybe sometime soon we can get together and bowl, considering I don't live that far from you, about an hour away. I think it would be fun. Have a good summer.

Threw a little Jack in the mix, and went to work. I'm getting there.
