Bowling fun!

Out bowling with Jamie!

I'm sucking rather badly.

Game 1 I got a 24. Jamie and Shari totally beat me!

Game 2 I currently have 13! :-/

But having so much fun!

And right after I posted this entry, by some fluke I got 1 pin knocked down, then right after knocked them all down!

Still having fun!

Now I'm getting someplace! 37 points so far!

I need to make bowling a monthly thing!

I think we should join a league! That'd be fun. My aunts and my cousin Nickie's parents are in a league and play several times a week. I also have an uncle who's practically a professional bowler. He always goes to those tournaments in Vegas.

funny you should mention that. after I went bowling for my bday a few years ago, I did so well, that I thought about looking up beginner leagues in my area, but never followed through lol

I thought about it after those bowling classes, but I think I was kinda burned out by it. I think the more I played, I got better but also got worse haha Also, I'd want to be in a league only if I had at least one friend on my team. I'd be a little nervous otherwise. My aunt Bettye's on a team with her son's in-laws, and then my aunt Harriet is on a team with other people. It's too bad they couldn't all be on the same team.

bowling league made up of family members. that would be nice.

I think so too. It sounds like they have fun. Bettye, Gerry, and Joel have one other guy on their team, named Santos, and it sounds like he's their big scorer.

You still did a lot better than I would have! I suck at bowling!! But it is fun to do it - even badly.

And I didn't fall on my butt like my friend did a few yrs ago!

Finished Game 2 with a 64! Woohoo!

Now I need food and drink!

So that's what you were doing on your phone! Ha!

I had a theory about how to improve your gameplay but didn't know if you'd want it, so I didn't say anything. Would you have wanted it?

[simplyn2deep.livejournal.com]

sure! I'll take any advice on how to improve.

Okay! *whew* Instead of walking up to the line and stopping, then pulling the ball back and throwing, do that mid-step. I think part of the problem is that you're losing momentum and having to create a lot more by just standing there. So drop your ball back like a step before you get to the line, then release the ball. Since you're right-handed, you want your left foot to be forward. It'll be a bit more natural, once you get used to it.

Oh, and lining up with those dots back by the ball drop helps too. It gives you a straight line to walk towards, and those arrows help aim your ball. I know that my ball doesn't always end up near where I think I'm aiming, but that's probably because my body moves away from my arm. I need to work on that!

I learned this in a bowling class, and that helped my game a lot! I sucked before I took those 3 semesters :D

[simplyn2deep.livejournal.com]

thanks. I'll try that the next time I go bowling

[dontelltheelf.livejournal.com]

No prob! And good luck! I'd love to hear how it goes.
