Well that was some amazong bowling... not nearly as amazing as O'fer bowling left-handed after everybody left... stringing turkeys and doubles around an occasional gutterball and a few yanks across the body hitting the 3-6 pocket...
Oh, and keeping in true LH form, I made only 1 out of 4 spares...
The main thing is, it seems to call up memories of what it feels like to bowl without pain in hand, wrist, elbow and shoulder...
AMAZING. Even Jean Cope said I threw the ball better LH than RH... lol I think she added, "of course, it wouldn't take much.... " lol
Or maybe that was me saying that... All I need now is my new shoes and I'll be ready to go...

Congrats, Mr P -- it was fun watching you all. 17/18, 19/20 & 21/22 are the "sweet" lanes and there was bunches on strings going on -- I just love watching those lanes! Ironically, you were on the same lanes that Medearis, et al were on when they shot the 2nd high National Mixed 5 member (4 men/1woman) team game. And a big round of applause to Garland Newmann for his 300 last night! Thanks spktatr710... And congrats to Garland as well.... He started off strong, thought he was going to shoot a big series to last night, but he started struggling the last part of the 2nd game and some 3rd game... Great shooting Garland!!!!!

I know I have missed you out on the lanes as I'm sure others are.... but I'm sure not as much as you have missed it...lol.... great to hear your bowling again.... Now that your bowling left handed, it just gives me one more reason not to like you....lol....J/K....

There was a lot of good bowling last night. There were 5 series 780 and above, two of which came from the "Got Balls" team. We brutalized the team that has lost all 12 games this season basically b/c of that 185 avg. rule. 2 ladies on that team have never bowled in a league. I would love to have people come back next year so we need to let people know that, that rule has got to go. Congrats Smooth!!!!

Roger and John Jerkins (786 & 783)
I cost John a 300 the 2nd game... I walked behind his lanes on the way to the RR, and he left a pocket 7-10 on his 11th ball...
ANYBODY that wants to bowl John for money, I will keep score for a percentage of what you win... the boy can't bowl when I am watching...
He said he knew I must have been around... he felt some "Dark Energy" while he was on the approach...
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

There is a few lefty's bowling the league, Falco of course has the track record of being one of the best lefties in Houston, but, Mike Bibby and Eric Fiala are 200+ bowlers as well...

The XBOM reminded me this morning the record listed in the PBA Book for 4 man team game and series is probably wrong.
We need to locate our sheet from the Hurricane's Hustlers League, but JF, DF, Fravel and Scott Savant had a team game for sure higher than what was listed. We had 277, 257, 290 and 300-- 1124 as a team and I'm not sure what our series was, but Fravel had 795, (his highest ever), and they had to come out and check the lanes because of our teams scores.
Allen Cope came out...

Oh... ok.....lol.. I was meaning, same or close to Falco's ability... Well I guess I need to pipe in here. By no means am I at Charlie's level, but I now have the urge to start really bowling alot more since I dropped some "dead weight", hard to bowl when the other half does not like it at all. Now bowling is fun for me again, and I enjoy the people, and the competition. Our team took 3 from Erik C, Kristy, Bob, and Robert last night I start off with a 257, 242 (with an open 9, 10), and 218 (open 9th, 10th). Need to practice the 7 pin more...lol With some practice and the addition of some equipment, (since all of my stuff was stolen) , I feel I will be able to compete, and at least give the top dogs a run for their money...of course being left handed does not hurt...lol
