I subbed last night and things went very well. I started out a little slow and shot 195 the first game. The next two games, I had 20 out of 24 strikes and shot 257 and 239 for a nice 691 series. I'm averaging 207 in that league now. This is the best series I've had since I came back from my back injury. Things are pointing in the right direction.

Last Wednesday, I came out of the gate firing. I started off with the first 7 strikes, then threw the ball like an idiot in the 8th frame. Pulled it and left the 3-6. Picked it up and struck the next 3 and a 9 count for 277. I couldn't hit anything afterward. I shot 173 and 166 for a 616 series. I should've done much better than that after shooting 277 first game. I still managed to bring my average up a pin to 201.

After struggling the first couple of weeks, I finally had a good week this week. I shot 212-205-194 for 611 on Monday, then 245-183-217 last night for 645. 209 average for the week. Much better than it has been. I need a good string of weeks like this one to get back to the 207 average I finished out with last winter season. 210 is still my goal. I'll keep you posted.

Monday average - 188.56 (that 507 I shot the first week killed me)

Tuesday average (sub) - 201.22

Wednesday average - 200.17

I subbed in the Tuesday night league in Georgetown last night. First time I stepped foot in that center in a year or so. I struggled a little bit at the beginning, but managed to roll off the last 6 strikes in that game. I shot 210-234-195 for a 639 series. 639 on back to back nights. Different bowling centers, but shot 639 on lanes 7&8.

Well, after finally recovering from my back, I finally feel like my timing is back and my delivery is where it was back in Feb, March, April timeframe. On the last night, I shot 225-181-233 for a 639 series. Good, solid finish other than missing 3 10-pins in the 2nd game.
