*Ahem*
You guys are funny.
Right now, as I am inexperienced as a tournament bowler, since I have limited funds at the moment, I DO consider myself a house bowler. I've told EVERYONE I ever talk to this. Since I have no experience outside of my house other than a few little tournaments here and there, I am in no way, shape or form considering myself "AMAZING" or anything like that.
For the record, the shot is EXTREMELY easy. I did NOT sweet talk the manager into making it easier. He programmed the Kegel Patterns into his machine last year, and put out Main Street, or whatever it is. We had Highway to Hell out (which, I believe is the Kegel equivalent to Shark), but he got complaints from many of the other bowlers that the shot was too difficult. Honestly, I was against changing it. I liked it the way it was. But, if anything, the shot opened up a little bit for me. I adjusted immediately, and week in and week out, I scored. It was, by no means, "walled". You still had to hit your mark. It was just WAY too easy. I told the manager/my boss this. I'm not the only one to have shot multiple honor scores last year, either. There was more than one. Not to be conceited or anything, but I do consider myself the best house bowler in my area, at least for last season... It's really nothing to brag about, since the shot is so easy. I want to get out and get more experience. But, like I said, the funds are limited.
I'm sorry if I came off as a FIGJAMmer. I'm sorry that I'm somewhat proud that I finally got my first 300 last year. I'm sorry if I have a little bit of egotism. Everyone in my house talks to me like I should go pro. I want to. I want more experience. The egotism probably comes from that.
The point of this topic was to see what everyone strives to do each season. Not to cut me down cuz I posted my accomplishments from last season. They were goals that I set out to reach, and for the most part, I hit them.
As an update, I wanna enter some Regionals this year. I guess I'd like a top 20 finish, or even at least cash. I also wanna settle down and work on my mental game.
I don't carry myself as the best bowler in the world, and I don't intend to. I know I am far from it. And for the record, anyone who knows me knows I'm not a FIGJAMmer, because I don't give off that vibe anywhere, except here, apparently. I have my good days and my bad days, just like everyone else.
So, thanks for the harsh critisisms. I'll learn not to post sh!t I'm proud of doing in the future.
