Back from NJ and bowling with Charlest and JS
« on: September 05, 2011, 08:40:03 PM »
I had an oppurtunity to bowl with Charlest, JS and Francine (JS' wife) and had a great time.  Francine is an outstanding bowler and Charlest, JS and myself spent more time taking bowling then bowling.  Conversation was somewhat technical and I think we all learned a lot.  Charlest picked up on a delivery problem I was having that should really help my game.

 

It was great bowling with Charlest again and meeting JS and Francinealso made the bowling experience even better.  I'd like to thank Charlest, JS and Francine for taking the time out of a busy Labor Day weekend to spend at the bowling cener bowling and talking about bowling.  I had a great time.

Barry was his usual self, a gentleman, and it was great to see him again. We can thank him for getting JS out to Carolier. He tends to avoid it because the synthetic approaches give him a lot of trouble. Even with Hurricane Irene dropping a ton of water on us, we managed to get together again.
 
Barry is giving me far too much credit. I mean, how do you help a 225+ average bowler? He brought only one ball& no spare ball and still managed to out score us. We weren't in contest, just practicing to try to eliminate all our flaws. Barry just has so many fewer to remove than John and I do.
 
To show how much fun it was, I expected to spend and hour to and hour and half there, since there was only 4 of us. By the time we left, 3 hours had flown by.
 
Thanks to Barry to taking time out from visiting his sisters here in NJ to visit with us. A pleasure as always.

Since last visit (2 years ago?) Barry has completely changed his game, and, I think, for the better. To show how much fun it was, I expected to spend and hour to and hour and half there, since there was only 4 of us. By the time we left, 3 hours had flown by.

Francine and I had a great time.  The time flew by so quickly.  We had a lot of great conversation and some good bowling.

 

It was great meeting Barry and I hope we get the pleasure again.  Glad you made it home safely.

 

And Jeff, if memory serves me correctly, I think it was Francine who whooped us all

I'm used to that though!

I can't believe I couldn't get Francine to make my 10 pins for me. :)  At least on the right lane.  My scores would have been huge.;)  Just kidding, she would have gladly picked up my 10 pins because she made every 10 pin she left.  I should be as consistent as Francine was all day.
 
Jeff didn't remember I think that he recommended that I got rid of the monster Dragon wrist support four years ago.  Charlest worked on how to make that transition so that I could make the change with confidence. This year without the wrist support I averaged 223 and 234.  My goal has always been to average 220 and thanks to the coaching that I received by some quality coaches, including Charlest, I can cross that off my bucket list, 230 now also.
 
Today starts new leagues for me and I hope I can use the knowledge that Charlest and JS passed on to me and learn to be as consistent as Francine.

Nic, I'm glad you had a good trip and a good visit with Charlest. If I ever get to Charlest's city, I will definitely look him up also, but New York may be as close as we come, if we ever get to New York. I have a Son that lives at Clyde NY. We started that way the first week of October last fall. We were on our way there the first day of travel, we got word that another of our Sons had a terrible motorcycle wreck and almost died here in Oklahoma City, so we had to turn around and drive back home.
