I did a little better tonight. In fact I got 1st place. My scratch scores were: 202 167 157 164 Add 79 handicap per game and 105 bonus point for 3 wins and a tie gives me 1111 total. On the 3rd game I started with 6 opens then finished with a 5 bagger to just win by 7. It was nice to go home wth some extra cash in the pocket and a smile on my face. :)

It's been a couple weeks.  My Laptop computer is broke for now so I have to check in with my iTouch or someone elses PC. 

I've been bowling very poorly the last couple weeks so nothing exiting to post.  I spent a couple hours practicing yesterday and got some coaching from Ozzie Osborn.  Not the classic Heavy Metal star, just a guy that has been bowling all his life and is good at what he does.  Anyway he noticed my timing is off and I was taking too large of a last step on the approach.  I was also swooping low (mostly with my right shoulder) to get the ball on the floor and then coming up during the release.  All this was making my accruacy go all to heck.  He said I was trying to hook it too much.  I took a shorter last step and kept my head up, back straighter, and a good follow through.  Well the ball had less arc but it went to the pocket for a stike.  Next ball did the same and then the next.  So I think I'm on to something here.  Now I just need to be better at spares.  Lately the 7 pin has been my problem, I did real well on the 10 pin yesterday.  I usually shoot the 10 going diagnal across the lane in a fairly straight line.  I'm not able to mirror the shot to the 7 pin.  I'm thinking about using my stike ball more for these shots on the left side.  What do you think?
