Congrats to Thongprincess
« on: January 21, 2004, 04:06:20 AM »
Just had to congratulate her, even though she is a [deleted] lefty.  Her first tournament last year was the Hoinke.  Matter of fact, I believe that was her first tournament period.

Poor gal hadn't been out of the state of Calif for over 20 years.  After she heard of my prowess on the lanes she decided to come to NC for our little coaching get together.

Anyhow, to make a long story short, she cashed in all events her first time out.  Would even have made a profit if she hadn't caught me in the scratch brackets.

Turned her into a monster.  She is now hitting every tournament possible, only failed to cash in one last year.

After I show her a few more little things, look out PWBA, if they ever get back to prime time.

Good shooting Collen.  Glad to see you enjoying yourself.

This was the ball reviews trip to the Hoinke last June.  Checks just came out this week.  Not sure of all the other tournaments she bowled in last year.

Congrats to TP! She may be able to help revive the PWBA with a new dress code

But after (shudder) thinking about some of them in TP's attire, maybe that should be left undone.

SrKegler, thank you for the nice post.  Bones and MTFD24 thanks for the wishes.

It is true I not only hadn't been out of CA in about 20 years, but I also hadn't been on a plane in over 10 years.  Since then I've flown enough to earn 2 free tickets on Southwest.

I love the tournament bowling experience and, yes I am hooked.  I tell my coach it is all his fault, he made bowling fun again.  I sure don't expect to cash everytime, but it is nice.  And as for the brackets, it didn't help I shot in the 130s the last game.

My first winning check from the Hoinke was $12.73 and I made a color copy of it because I was so excited

Congrats!!

Nice achievement. Let me know if we're going to cross in any tournaments here on the west coast. I need to be prepared...

Thanks to all.  

I must admit that I did invest in lessons the previous summer.  The lessons and lots practice.  

Mumzie, you would probably bowl me under the table.  I'd consider it an honor to meet up with you in a tourney.  Who know maybe someday, we are both on the west coast.
