bowling 3 [1]
If Ian can log this, so can I, With Nancy, who clobbered me (though I dd edge her out on the first game).
Game 1: 7/ 16 X 08 9- 8- 5/ 71 X X9/ = 135
Game 2: X 07 1- 9- 44 71 81 9/ 71 06 = 90
Game 3: 6/ 9- 6- X 33 5- 41 52 61 72 = 89
Strike rate: 5/31 = 16.1%
Spare rate: 5/26 = 19.2%
First-ball pins: 6.12
1-pin spares: 2/5 = 40.0%
It's possible that I was hampered by my choice of ball. I picked on that had pretty good holes and felt about right, but didn't have the weight marked on it. Afterwards I asked the guy at the counter, and he said it felt like a 16 to him. I usually use a 15, and it seemed like my biggest problem was that the ball too often hit the floor too soon, before I had swung through. Makes sense taht this problem would get worse as I got more tired. That's my excuse, and I'm sticking with it. (Either that or it's because I bowl like a doofus.)
Nancy's three games, bowled with her own ball with her initials on it, were 129, 145, 140. Nice.
