Bowling - straight!

Last night was my first night of bowling. Technically, last week was but I missed it.


Well, if you remember correctly, my hook ball is in the bottom of the Chicago river. We had a bit of a falling out. I never got the ball replaced. All I had with me last night was a plastic ball I use for picking up spares.


Well, I hunkered down and threw a straight ball from the right corner. Man, I miss throwing that. You do not have to worry about oil. I was throwing the ball on the same mark every time. Granted, you hit a little light or a little high and you leave splits and I definitely left some splits.


I ended the night with a 508 series (my average is only 161...yikes). 158, 156, 194. Not a bad night. I was pretty consistent. My straight time will be short lived. I plan on buying a new hook ball this weekend.


Top 5 is coming around lunch today.

Cheers!

I had 624. 223 (open in 9th), 199 (open in 10th), 202 (open in 10th).
Also cherry picked the 2 off a 2-5 twice and picked 10 pin off 6-10 once. Should have shot 660. 29 more weeks to go.
