Gutter balls
« on: January 10, 2004, 02:57:54 AM »
The other night during our league I saw something happen that I've never seen before, at least not since jrs. It was in the middle of the 2nd game and neither player was playing anywhere near the gutter - one was going right up 11-12 and the other swinging 15 to 10 and both are ok bowlers (190+). The guy on the opposing team went up and threw a gutter on his first ball, then the guy on my team went right up and did the exact same thing. We were all rolling on the floor, you should have seen the looks on their faces - like what the hell just happened.

First night of the season I was throwing flush shots in warm up before the start of league play.  When the lights came on my four teammates post their shots and I step up to bowl.

Get the ball, set, pushaway, swing, release, ditch.  People are behind me snickering, especially the people on the team we are bowling against.  I just come back, wait for my ball to return.  Set up, bowl, spare.  Went on to shoot 695 that night.

A gutter ball is only as bad as you let it be.

If horse racing is the sport of kings, then surely bowling is a very good sport as well.

I was playing up the crack in a tournament and threw it in the ditch twice. Bah. Now that I think about it, it makes me mad. I'll go practice now.
