Bowling has been one of those sports that I have had mixed success. On Friday, my team had a morale event at the bowling alley where I showed off my exceptional skills by handily beating the other three players in my lane. Now had I broken a hundred, it may have been a more satisfying experience, but I’ll take the win. The second game I did better, scoring about 156. However, in the third game I once again entered a (very) cold streak, but half way through the game, a coworker who was on a perpetual cold streak told me, “I’m now trying the spin. It’s really fun… you should try it!” Because I’m always up for a challenge (and because it would cover up my subpar start), I decided to take the plunge and learned “the bowling secret”.
Talk about night and day! Not only did I fare better the second half, but before I left, I barely missed getting a turkey by getting “X X 9/” ! Just to check that it’s not a fluke, the next day Kari, Tim, Karen and myself went bowling, and using only spin shots, I played three games and never a game below 110. Ok, I better stop before this starts sounding like an infomercial. “If you call in the next 10 minutes, not only will I share this secret, but I’ll give you a free pair of bowling shoes, absolutely free…”
The game of bowling would never be the same again. Anyone up for bowling? 😉
overnight bowling star huh? haha… are you looking for competition or just people to play with?
Just a chance to do a little more practicing before I loose it… 🙂
yea.. let’s go bowling! I’ll bring my ball and shoes… 😉 oh, did I say I have a ball and shoes.. um… some how the ball and shoes showed up around my room. 🙂
I’ll be there… are you up to bowling until the next morning?
I don’t know what you have for breakfast, Jun, but my stamina only takes me to the end of the third game…
