I had the day off today so instead of doing something constructive, I went bowling. I bowled three games at Town & Country Lanes; 225, 238, 202.

I practiced throwing my spares the way I'll need to throw them at the Open next week. It may hurt me in league tomorrow, but it will help me more in the long run.

Also, I realized that my mind is my worst enemy. I rarely feel pressure and usually bowl better under it, but my mind is a busy place. Thoughts rush through my head faster than a drunk on the Autobahn. This affects my consistency tremendously and will be my biggest hurdle when bowling in the Open.

I'll blog again in a day or two and let everyone know how league went with the unique practicing.
