I love overhearing others talk during tournaments.

Recently one overheard statement was " Justice has been served" after one guy lost. Makes you wonder what they meant.

My son gets upset if I brag about him while he's bowling. He feels pressured. We spent a lot of money as the kids grew up on bowling, nice to see him do well and it paid off.

Years back I was sitting away from hubby in a Local City Masters tournament. The guy he was bowling against was local hot shot there, they were really knocking my hubby's form/ clothes, etc. I sat quietly but it sure felt great when he kicked the dude's butt big time!!!

I am learning I need to watch what I say. I recognized a good bowler from another tournament. After a squad I walked up to comment he had good scores that day, he was another bowler on that pair, turned out he was the low guy with scores I could've beat that day. 2 of the guys did very well, I assummed he was one of them. I didn't mean to be a wise guy.

I now try not to talk to bowlers before they're all done. I feel like a hex. Several times I've watched a guy bowl a great game, may a 270 or better. Go up while there moving and genuinly say good game, way to go, hope you keep it up, then next game they bowl like crap.
