This Weeks Bowling Lesson

I had my bowling lesson during my lunch hour at work this past Thursday.

The lane must have been pretty dry because my bowl was hooking a lot. So my instructor showed me a new technique. Instead of lining up on the right hand side of the lane, he had me line up on the left hand side. I was told to open up my shoulders a little bit and roll the ball across to the right hand side of the lane. As it neared the gutter, it would hook into the right pocket.

This was hard to do. I threw several gutter balls and sometimes I would end up rolling my ball straight instead rolling it across the lane. When it worked out, it was a cool thing to see.

He also let me use a wrist guard during my lesson which didn’t seem to help or hurt me.
The final scores from the three games I bowled were 143, 98, and 101. For some reason, I always do my worst when I’m taking lessons. It’s probably that I’m nervous. On the other hand, he was showing me a new technique so that can account for some low scores as well.

Cost of lesson was $20.00 plus bowling fees.
Total cost this week was: $28.75
Combined from last week brings the total cost to $39.50
