Back in league, yeah!!!

Wednesday, November 14, 2007, 11:47 PM [General]

I bowled league tonight for the first time in three weeks. Really thought I was going to throw the ball like crap, but for some reason, I felt pretty good. Timing was good, swing felt okay, hand position okay. Shot 243-255-214=712. Team won all four points. Only one open frame, missed one bad to the right and left a 2-10 in the first game. Carry kinda went away in the third game, having to try and curve the World Class Particle that I was using. Shoulda maybe switched balls, but hey we were winning, and I missed the Mega Bucks thing.

Have a great and safe Thanksgiving!!!
