Thanksgiving Tournament at Fugate’s
This Thanksgiving, we held a No-Tap tournament at Fugate’s Bowl-a-rama. This comes less than a week after the passing of Fred Fugate, the owner and proprietor of the Bowling center. It was hard to really get motivated to work on the lanes, knowing that Fred wouldn’t be there and that he had buried just 4…

Summer League: May 21 2009
This week was about the same as the three that came before it for me. I am still yet to break the 600 barrier, which is REALLY frustrating, because I’m not far off of it. In fact it’s been a matter of just a single missed spare in one or two games. This week it…

The mechanics of a good arm swing
A few weeks ago, Jennifer started giving me grief about my arm swing, because at the top of the swing my hand turns completely out, meaning my palm is perpendicular to the floor. Now, I don’t know when this started, but I know it’s a result my trying to learn the more dynamic release that…

Summer League: May 14th 2009
Week three of the Summer League ’09 at Fugate’s Bowl-a-rama in Hazard, KY was a good one, if I do say so myself. My team is by far and away the best team in the league. We currently hold three of the top four averages (yes, I’m the fourth highest average), which doesn’t mean a…

Summer League: May 7th 2009
So tonight was the second night of Summer League 2009, here in Hazard, KY. Unfortunately, I forgot to grab the team scoresheet, so I don’t have the exact numbers of my team mates, but I can tell you that one of my team mates bowled a 759 scratch series, 783 handicap, which I suspect will…

Bring on Summer League
Last night was the first night of Summer League, here in Hazard, KY. I was lucky enough to get recruited by two of the more consistent bowlers from the most recent Fall League. These guys were members from the team that came in either first or second, I forget which. They both averaged over 200…

New work possibilities
Well, in the last week things have changed a little as far as work prospects go. Last Sunday, I went bowling and for the first time in a long time, the owner, Fred, was working the counter. What’s more, Jennifer had dropped me off to go and get in the tanning bed for a little…

Recent developments
Recently Jennifer and I have been really trying to step out and find a place of our own. This is a little nerve racking because we barely make enough money to cover what little financial responsibilities we have. The thought of adding another $350 a month (minimum) is a little intimidating. Having said that, we…

Thursday League: 2009 Complete
This past Thursday marked the end of the ’08/’09 Season. I just missed my 180 average goal by a fraction of a pin, which was a little disappointing, but I’m very happy with the milestones I did manage to bag this season. I’ve only been bowling competitively for about 8 months, but in that time…

Thursday League: April 2, 2009
This was the last night of our Thursday night league (except for the roll off, which is this coming Thursday, April 9). I had worked out that I needed to bowl a 634 to finish out the season with a 180 average over 84 games. This had been my goal at the start of the…
