Yeah, it’s been forever, but I have something good. Tonight started the second round in my fourth year of the Wednesday night men’s bowling league I’m in. While my team has been struggling to win points lately, I had my best bowling night ever tonight. That number in the title was my scratch series.

Some stats:
Game 1 = 234
Game 2 = 255
Game 3 = 222
22 strikes
4 spares
4 open frames
1 split
9.4 first ball average

This is the first time in a long time that I had a consistently great night. I started game 1 with 7 strikes (a new best). After the first game, I would have been happy to finish with a 600 series (I’ve only done that twice), and I never dreamed I could come close to a 700 series. My average going into tonight was a 168. I’ve said for a few weeks that it was artificially low, but I was never expecting a night like this. The 711 was enough to give me high handicap series in the league with an 849 and put me third on the list for high scratch series. I also get a spot on the Men’s Leaderboard, and I might just have to check the paper tomorrow morning. 🙂
