Hello again!

(continued from previous post)

Well... Do you want to know what was sooooo "unexpected?"

I go from barely being able to get a three-bagger to shooting a 774!!! That's right 774!!! After taking a break from bowling for nearly 3 years and my body being upset with me for taking such a long break, I shoot 774!!! I remember it almost as if it were yesterday. It bears mentioning, I went 30 clean for the set. 

The first game I was getting low count but making my spares. I make an adjustment in the 6th frame and punch out for a 228. The next game I started to strike and I did not stop until the 11th frame and then I get 9 on my fill ball (blasted 10 pin!!!) for 299. That's RIGHT! 299!!! I am saying to myself... "What in the world is going on???"

As is mostly always the case, I strike on my first ball of the next game (the strike that eluded me in the 10th frame of the previous game). Then, I get three more... I am saying to myself "who is this guy?" No sooner than I began to question what I was doing and who I was... having the nerve to shoot 299 while previously being unable to string three strikes together.  That is not supposed to happen!!!  Or is it???  Well... IT DID!!!  I am sitting on a 4 bagger after shooting a 299 and rather than embracing the moment, I began to question the moment.

I shoot spare, spare and now I begin to refocus to have a chance to go off the sheet to be in the 260s...  I get the next three and now have a shot in the 10th for 268.  I get tapped, cover the spare and strike on my fill ball for 247 and a 774 set with, might I add, 30 CLEAN frames!!! That was exciting for me considering my return to bowling just a few weeks prior.  As great as I feel about my performance, it is tempered by the fact that it was house conditions.  Any bowler that desires to compete at the level that I aspire to SHOULD put up these type of numbers on house conditions!!!

PERIOD!!!

Until later,
