Stinking Up the Alley
I was excited about bowling today. I went in thinking that today I could bowl my first 200 game. After three games, that dreamed was murdered. My scores were 78, 98, and 126. I wasn’t kidding when I said I stunk up the alley. My scores were better before I started taking lessons. So what in the hell went wrong?
The one thing I did different today was I tried to develop some accuracy. I followed the advice in the bowling book I have and made adjustments based on where the ball hit the pins. I kept the same target and just changed my starting position.
No matter where I started on the approach, my ball would always hook far left. I still can’t figure out why? Was the lane to dry? Does the ball I have tend to hook more than other balls? Could it have been my release? Who knows.
Up to this point I was making good progress. My scores were getting better each time I went. When I left the bowling alley, I felt embarrassed. I thought today might be the day I got 200, instead I barely broke 100.
This was a sad day in the alley.
