OK, here's the situation.  Last week I struggled.  Shot like 220, then 160, then 230, then 170 (no consistency whatsoever).  Got fed up, disgusted, and spent the whole week not even thinking about bowling.  Then came last night.  I didn't really feel like going to the lanes, but in the first 3 of 4 games, I came within 9 pins of my personal best (had 739) and shot 200 even the last game (with 2 opens).  When I shot my highest (a 748, 10 LONG years ago), I remember that I didn't want to go that night either - just didn't feel like bowling.  However, I find when I'm all ready to go and looking forward to it, I have the worst nights.  Why is this?  Does anyone else experience this, or do I need to spend the rest of my life seeing a shrink?

Why, WHY won't the last one just fall??  It's WIGGLING for cryin' out loud!!

I knew a guy here that walked into a center one day feeling sick, wanted nothing to do with being in a bowling center.  But, he did not want to let his team down.  He proceeds to go 257-267-277=801.  It was his first 800.  Funny thing, was he was playing a card game.  He did not win one single game shooting 801.  Other nights, I feel your pain.  When I feel psyched and put myself in brackets, I always seem to shoot bad and win nothing.  The nights I don't seem to care, someone else puts me in and I walk out with a couple hundred dollars in my pocket.  Go figure.
