Last night was sweeps for my scratch league. I brought additional equipment since the 6PM league swept last week and would not start up again until next week. This not being my home center, I was uncertain what kind of oil would be out there.
I started with the usual PDW and it seemed to like the condition. Game 1 starts with a double and an open in the 3rd, a 4-7 I got sloppy on. I did keep it clean the rest of the game and shot 231. Not a bad start to sweepers.
Game 2 clean, spare, 6 in a row and a mix of marks for a 247. Sweeps is looking even nicer, not to mention that elusive 700 is a good possibility.
Game 3 starts with a turkey, spare and a mix of marks. It gets to the 9th and I know a strike will make the 700 really attainable. I got the strike. 10th a strike all but guarantees the 700. I was actually calm going up and got the strike. Now all I have to do is keep the ball on the lane. I get a 9 count spare for a 714. My 1st ever 700.
It only took me 26 years, but I finally got it. Oh and I had the highest series in the league for sweeps. I think the nearest male was a 650 something. I am still on cloud 9. My teammate said it couldn't have been better timing. Sweeps or a tourney is the best time to hit a new milestone.
I just wanted to share. Some of you on this board have helped me make the improvements, especially janderson. Thanks for the tips on the mental game, I believed and it happened.
