Son did it again
« on: March 07, 2005, 12:36:53 AM »
Looks like the recent changes for my son has improved his scoring on THS. Again this weekend (2nd tournament in a row) son shot a 300... he lead qualifying with +900 for 18 games (250 average) and had two other games with the front 10 ... in the final he goes, foul/spare and the next 9 in a row. It might sound like a bit of bragging (and I am .. a father is so proud) but scoring is out of control and it is very intimidating to other to know they will have to average... 240 to make the cut to return the next day (after 8 games) for youth. You talk about reason why bowling is deminishing.

I am not diminishing sons performance. I agree that there is alot more to bowling those scores than THS and Technology. I just think, that for others, averaging 200-210 to make the cut is closer to achievable and would goat others into particiaption which would provide more bowlers and more prize fund.

Bones, I have always believed that I am nothing more than slightly better than average. I am not dillusional. And I have always felt my son has more bowling talent than I. I fully expect him to achieve more than I ever thought I would or could. But I will tell you the truth, I HATE being in the crowd and watching son compete. It is far easier to compete.

My daughter is coming. She has yet to be really bit by the bowling bug. But she throws it better than alot of bowlers that do well in the SSJBA's in the masters division. She never practices... shows up to bowl and averages 210+. If she ever sets her mind to it, she might be better than both son and I. These are indeed exciting times for my family. Watching my kids grow is wonderfull.

I'll be happy for you if he's that good in golf. But in bowling? who cares.
