I went bowling again today with my family (this was planned before the other bowling event that I went to a few days ago), and also with another family. I went to a different place this time so I could try out something different. This was the second time this past week that I’ve gone bowling; I think before that, the last time I bowled was about a year ago.

The game I played on Thursday was 3 full games and 9 frames in the 4th game, played in 2 1/2 hours. Today, I played 4 games and 2 frames in the 5th game in two hours. Goes to show how slow we were in the first game and how efficient we were in the second.

I also got 3 strikes in a row (called a turkey), and so I’m pretty happy about that.

After observing some of my friends, family, and other people playing, I think I can conclude that it’s pretty useless to run up to the line, then throw the ball, without using the momentum that you gained from running to the line in the first place. Also, for me, I bowl MUCH better without distractions than I do with. I was listening to my iPod while bowling the second time at certain times, and those were the times when I was ‘in the zone’ and got my strikes - so there MUST be a relation!

The inconsistency in my bowling scores is because my arm gets tired after bowling too often, because I usually use a 14-pound ball, and this resulted in me using a 10-pounder afterwards because my arm needed a vacation.

After reviewing my scores, I can conclude that, if you’re going to bowl with me, we’ll have to play up to game 3 before we count the scores, because I always seem to do the best in game 3 every time I bowl.

Anyways, I’m off to the ACI BBQ/party. I’ll make another post when I return, and if I’m not feeling too tired.

The scores are:

Totals (not including game 5):
Gene: 447
