Accused of sandbaggin....
« on: April 22, 2005, 04:34:38 PM »
Okay before I get started I'm going to start by saying I understand why...It just sucks... I bowled for 10 years until 2000... Got into a car wreck, hurt my  back, couldn't bowl and gave it up... Well long story short, 5 years later, dating a girl who bowls I get back into it in Nov of last year... My third week into the league my average was 156... Now I'm getting my game back, my average has climbed to 189, I shot 772 three weeks ago, 616 two weeks ago, and 675 last week... Thing is now people are starting to suggest that I sandbagged my first few months... Again I'm not saying I don't understand why... I'm just saying it sucks... Besides our team is in like 31st place...LOL... We just happen to de-rail 3 of the top five teams in the past 6 weeks...LOL...Well anyway I just thought I'd post this so that I could say that sometimes not ALL THE TIME, but sometimes it may appear that someone  is sandbagging when in actually, they just either got their game back or got a new ball...

They say that 1 in 3 people in this world are ugly. So look to your left and look to your right, if neither one of those people are ugly... Guess who is!!!

I was in the Junior Masters tournament in Major B(avg. 186-195?) and had a 244 average for the 8 games. Because I bowl in a tougher house, my average is lower than in a higher-scoring house. By no means, do I try to sandbag. I believe there's no honor in it. When I win, I like to know that I beat the best not the little kids. (unless the little kids are cleaning house, that is. lol)

i bowl at a tough house for league. i book well below what i shoot damn near anywhere else.

people at tourneys hate me. i shoot 40 pins over average per game when they are already giving me 35 sticks... i would say i consistently shoot 25-30 pins over average at 4 different houses (walled up).

You should just say, "The shots so easy, how can you not hit it?"  then laugh and walk away.

Been there, too. Just kick their butts all next year. I started back and average 177 until Christmas break; then I rose to 199 by the end. This past season I was above 200 all year and closed with 207. Those who cry "sandbagger" are just hacks.
