Looking so forward to my 2004-2005 season beginning.  Last year was fairly successful and I look to build on that in 04-05.  Last season I had another 800 and 300, won the city title in doubles, both hdcp and scratch.  High average in one of my leagues and some other brick-a-brack to throw on the pile.  Also was fortunate to have a real good Louisville Derby Tournament.  ABC's were not as successful, but I will get that bear eventually.  With all that I have been working on smoothing out the arm swing with less muscle and also trying to cure some early timing issues.  Hopefully what I worked on this Summer will benefit in the tougher settings.

How about you?  In 2003-2004 did you meet your goals?  Are you looking to better last season or stay status quo?

Me I want a 220 composite average in leagues.  I want to throw 12 quality shots a game and reduce the dumb (no concentration) misses significantly.  High average in all my leagues, "hopefully" a City Individual Title.  That will make it a clean sweep.  Team, doubles and singles.

Goals...

1) Not to suck it up at Team USA and maybe even make a splash..
2) Minimize missed spares...would love to shoot over 95% on spare conversions
3) PRACTICE.........PRACTICE.......PRACTICE....something I never do .....and if I am ever going to get serious about this game need to start..helps I am working in a center as a second job...
4) Bring 2 new people into the game...and make 2 people better/enjoy the game more...

My personal savior is common sense.
How can being so RIGHT be so very WRONG?

My goals from this past year were, well didnt really have any since it was my first year of bowling. My SUMMER goals though, thats different. One of my summer goals was to shoot a 250+ game, and I acheived that with my 255.(high game) Another goal was to be averaging 200+ by the end of summer, but that was a little out of reach. I did however raise my average from around 155-160, up to around 170-175, wich isnt a whole lot, but not bad for a few months. Also shot my high series over the summer. Overall I think I did very well this summer, but plan on doing better next year.

My goals for the coming season/year is to average at least 180 in league, and to get consistent on all my spares. Also to have a 650+ sanctioned series, and a 260+ sanctioned game.

16 years and still going strong! 16 years old that is! The names Warrior Princess, Xena..Warrior Princess
And why would I "saw" pins in half, THATS A WASTE OF PINS!

Last season I didn't really have any set goals, besides to stay healthy(which I didn't quite manage). I did lead my primary house in average(215), though we didn't win the league championship(runner-up).

My goals for this season?
1. Stay healthy and not miss any nights due to injury.
2. Give 100% concentration to every single shot.
3. Bowl a few tournaments(as long as I can still maintain goal #1)
4. Bowl another honor score(or more)

and most importantly...

5. HAVE FUN!

My goals are the same as usual:

1. Leave makeable spares.
2. CONVERT the makeable spares.
3. Improve my percentage of 200 games (currently only 33%).
4. Stay focused (big problem for me -- maybe I need Ritalin?)
5. Finally shoot a 700 (high is 688).

1. Have fun!!!
2. Win first place team in the league.
3. Win more side pots.
--------------------
You will not see me on the PBA Tour, but I love the game!!!

My goals for this year are as follows:

1:  Shoot 1 sanctioned 700
2:  Shoot 7 or more 600 series
3:  Shoot 1 clean series which will result in a patch from our local association.
4:  Have all series in the 500+ range- no 400 series
5:  Last year I had 38 200+ games, this year I want 45 200+ games and to beat my 12 week 200+ game streak.

If I shoot a 300 game with all of these, it will cap off a great year for me.
--------------------
It takes a man to be a dad, so that makes me a man twice!

Did I reach my goals last season? Outside of shooting a 300 and 800 series, I did very well in keeping my spare shooting up, shooting at least one 700 series for the year and also averaging over 200 in all of my league/tournament bowling.

My goals for 2004-2005? They would include getting a sanctioned 300 game/ 800 series, averaging over 200 in my fall league house (no one has done that in 6 years), keeping my spare percentage in the 90% to 95% range, and learning to play the inside line better when necessary.

I would also like to improve my overall scores in tournaments, and I plan on hitting more this year to see this goal through.
