So after 3 years of not bowling, i was asked to bowl in a league. Well i figured since i've moved to a new town and nobody knows me, i'd stay on the low down. Well first week, i averaged 166, and then bowled two more times during the week. just to get back into the groove.

Well i come back tonight, and figured as long as i stayed in the 160's i'd be ok,, Well first game, i tried to bowl bad and kept on striking, it didnt matter were i threw the ball if it was outside of 12, it was basically a strike. I ended up with a 228! second game was alot of the same, but i tossed in a couple opens, but still finished with a 178, third game i had to intentionally miss easy spares and stuff, and finally got a 120, to get a 526!

I laughed cuz, If i would of half-azzed tried, i know i could of gotten an easy 650-700 series, and i havent bowled in 3 yrs!!! Plus, i laugh at how easy the lanes have become, I mean is this what it's come too??? The lanes are so easy that someone who hasnt bowled in 3 yrs, can come out after thier first week of bowling, and no matter how badly they try to bowl, they still bowl good?

I mean, i literally had from 12-5 as my area!!!! and wasnt even trying to bowl well.

I know some people will bash me for sandbagging it, but i look at it this way, i see no point in averaging 200+ anymore, i gave up my hopes for the PBA tour, way back when the exempt tour happend.

Plus I dont think anyone who takes 3 yrs off from bowling should just be able to come back and have one week of bowling in them, and end up shooting 700.

It usta be, if someone took a couple years off, the first year back was a learning season, to get back into things. Now i'm just like ok,,, I could probably average 220+ and not have to try....

Better start chopping your fingers off cause in your profile you state you hate sandbaggers and they should all have their fingers chopped off. Your words not mine.

yeah i mean dude seriously why would you say that? why wouldn't you want to try your best i wish i could throw that good and your taking your talent for granted if your good be good don't sandbag

David Lee Yskes · « **Reply #18 on:** September 23, 2008, 02:27:55 PM »

KWPBA,

I think you miss the point, the 228 game, i had the last 7, and wasnt even trying!!!! I was literally trying to miss the pocket and couldnt cuz the lanes were so easy.

Plus everyone dogs me for sandbagging, yea a few years ago when i was bowling alot of tournaments and 2 or 3 leagues, yes i hated sandbaggers, cuz I always put out 100%. But it got me no where. I'd go to the city and state tournaments and even if i shot 750, i was way behind cuz of guys who sandbag, and get 100pins and shoot 700 to 750.

Plus, i'm in a new city, nobody knows me from my past years, so do they really know if i am bagging it??? no,, I could have just brought a plastic ball and used that for a few weeks.

And Like i say, there is no point in averaging over 200 anymore.

ALso, I dont want sympathy KW, I was just kinda laughing at the fact that I can go 3 yrs without bowling and after 1 week of bowling and two practice sessions, i could of come out and shot 700. And I probably will start doing some tournaments after a few weeks, the house does have a PBA condition tournament this weekend, and I will play in it, to see how many people actually show up for it.

And yes, I came out to just have fun, like someone mention'd. And yes i've done some PBA Regionals, and found out how tough it really is out there. And then I laugh at myself and other House bowlers who avg 220+ , yet alot of those bowlers dont have a clue on how to bowl on different conditions.

I dont think I am bigger than Bowling as a whole or out just for myself and not the team, I just stopped caring about how well i can bowl when i stopped bowling 3 yrs ago. I just dont want to go out and fling the ball around and average 200+ what does that prove to me?? it proves the lanes are EASY!!!

I'd rather average 180-190 on a tough shot than way over 200 on a cake shot.

David Lee,
if you aren't going to try and do your best, whether its 128, 228, or 298, then why bother...you are what's wrong with bowling today. And worse yet, you are proud of it and see nothing wrong with it. Stop bowling now, go play tiddlewinks or something that might challenge you.

And by the way, you are a maroon.

I don't know why you would post this. If you have ever paid attention to this site you should have seen the bashing coming, and with good reason. It was assinine to say you were trying to bowl bad. If I were bowling in the league and saw this on the internet, I would have to report you and hopefully have something happen. Yes the conditions are too easy for some, but at least don't admit that you are trying to mess up. That's just disrepectful to the sport.

I don't care who you are or where you are, you should always try to do your best have some personal dignity for yourself.

I heard that one could kick the ball down the lane with their foot and still average 200 in your house. Why don't you try that and see if you can get to 210.

Actually

this wasnt posted to get people to be all uppity bee-oitches, it was just a simple question to ask,, has it gotten this bad, that you can try to bowl bad,,, IE sandbag, but you still end up scoring well.. because the shot is so easy.

Now maybe i should have said,,, damn,, has it gotten this bad, that i can come out from not bowling in 3yrs and have 1 league nite and few games of practice, and shoot 700......

-------Come on.... What replies did you expect. It would appear that you need to grow up a little and realize that not everyone appreciates one who admits that they are purposely not giving their best. Find a sport or PBA experience league that will better challenge your talent.

Clearly you do not care for the responses you have received but it shows a lack of maturity to respond in this manner.

First of all, shooting 228 your first game puts you no where near 700...

Second, You said first game you tried to bowl bad, but couldn't... Which says you had every intent on sandbagging right from the start, not just because it was too easy... but because you're a cheater...

third, its people like you who are making the sport impossible for guys like me, who average 215-230.

So yeah, I will bash you for sandbagging, because that's the easy way to win. The fact that you could come in to establish, and "Lay Low"... shows that you lack integrity. Apparently it doesn't bother you, which doesn't surprise me, because it never seems to bother people who lack it. So at the end of the season, when your team has won and you have won the individual Handicapped awards, have the decency to look the runners up in the eye, and think for one moment, "I took this award from someone who really deserved it." Again, without integrity, I already know that I'm wasting my breath, but I'm making a point. While those awards might not mean anything to you, because you didn't win them fairly, they will mean something to someone who worked hard for them, and did so honestly... Just remember, if you have to sandbag to compete with others in your league it only shows that you lack the same integrity that they do...

I never TRIED to bowl bad. I've bowled bad giving 100% effort. It's not fun and it makes for a long night, but I have never not given 100% effort.
