  • Sunday League Roll Off

    Last night was the roll off for Sunday league. This has been one of the most fun leagues I’ve bowled in yet. I didn’t have a great season by any stretch of the imagination, but I still very much enjoyed this league, simply because we are good friends with most of the people in the…

  • Summary of my season

    This last season (bowling, of course) has been one of HUGE ups and downs. Sadly, mostly downs. I’ve struggled all season with release problems, accuracy problems and timing problems. Recently, there has been a glimmer of hope at salvaging the last quarter of this season after my visit with Mo Pinel, of MoRich Bowling, in…

  • Newport, KY and Mo Pinel

    Okay, so just a week or so ago, I blogged about my itinerary for the upcoming month. Well, yesterday being my birthday, we made the trip up to Newport, KY. After getting quite a late night trying to get some last minute work out of the way before we left, we were up at 7am…

  • Fugate’s In-house Handicap Tournament

    Tonight was the teams night for the in-house tournament at Fugate’s. I didn’t actually have a team organized for the night, but I had to be over there anyway, seeing as I’m the lane guy at the moment. So, I hauled my ass over there and got 16 lanes ready. I figured we’d probably need…

  • Bring on March!

    Okay, so March is already here. Sue me! 😛 This month will prove to be a rather busy one for me. This month I turn 30, I have to submit my application the United States Citizen and Immigration Service (USCIS) to have the conditional status removed from my Permanent Residence Visa, I will travelling to…

  • My arsenal

    For quite some time now, I’ve been intending to post pictures of my arsenal. I’ve FINALLY got around to getting those pictures taken and here they are!

  • First 600 of the season

    It’s taken me 14 weeks of league, but I FINALLY broke the 600 mark! I finished the night with a 634, which seems to about where I tend to finish if I bowl 600’s.  Weird. So I started the night with my Twisted Fury, shooting 10 and 5 and standing on 20, making my lay…

  • Christmas Eve No Tap Tournament

    Okay, almost. The tournament was actually on December 23, but what was I gonna say? Christmas Eve Eve No Tap Tournament? I didn’t think so… Anyway, we held a no tap tournament at Fugate’s Bowl-a-rama. We didn’t get quite the same turn out as the Thanksgiving day Tournament, but it was a still a good…

  • Bowling 101 – Don’t miss easy spares

    These past 3 months of league have been trying to say the least. I’ve been struggling to put games together, I’ve been struggling to find consistency with my release and I’ve been struggling to consistently shoot spares. Now, I know a good portion of the difficulties have come from the number of changes I made…

  • How to destroy a game in four frames…

    Last night, we bowled in our regular Sunday League trio. Earlier that night, I had stripped and oiled the lanes, and bowled a couple of  practice games. The practice games went well. I threw something like 6 in a row in my first one, so I knew I had a good line and good ball…
