husand and wife bowling againest each other ? ahhhhhhhh
« on: July 31, 2003, 09:05:49 AM »
how does everyone who bowls against there spouse deal with beating them in league play . tonight was the first in this league that i bowled him but have before and always seen to give him a run for his money (buzzhead) he seems to let it roll off his shoulders but i can see that he gets mad . we are bowling on a sport condition we had 50 feet of oil tonight and i had a 199 against him . he had a 167 . i felt like a heal after it was all over . how does everyone else deal with spouses in bowling .

Well, I didn't have a lot of repeat bowling dates in high school!

But - if he's not big enough to take it, shame on him!

Of course, my situation is different - my hubby is a very light recreational bowler - if I don't beat him, I'm harder on myself than he'll ever be!!! Unless, of course, we're bowling together.

Well, my wife is my doubles partner.  All that aside, she still gives me hell when she beats me.  I'm usually harder on myself than her anyways, but I expect her to at least do her best, even if she is struggling.

MY WIFE AND I HAVE ALWAYS BOWLED TOGETHER, WHETHER IT BE AS MIXED DOUBLES OR AGAINST EACH OTHER AND SHE WILL ALWAYS LET ME KNOW THAT SHE IS BOWLING AGAINST ME NO MATTER WHAT THE FORMAT. WHEN SHE BEATS MY SCORE, GREAT, AND WHEN SHE DOESN`T THATS O.K. TOO. AFTER WE GET HOME WE DISCUSS THE GAMES AND ANALYZE EACH OTHER`S PERFORMANCE. NOW THATS A GREAT PARTNER.

I'm not married, or have a girlfriend or anything. I'd imagine that it would be worse to bowl with your spouse on your team. Why? I see so many couples who bowl together, and have one coach the other... work at it, yet not get it... and they'd fight about it.

I look at every opponent/friend as just another opponent. no friends here. I want to beat you. When it's over, it's over. That is all.

we have bowled together and apart , apart seems to work better as long as i don't have to bowl him . about 2 years ago we were in a league him on one team me on another himself and his friends thought they would have me for dinner and for some reason i would always kick it in and find my line and go to town . they always made me mad enough that i wanted to beat them . we are shooting on a sport condition right now . i have added 20 pins to my average and he has lost 30 . the house owner said its because he pushes me . i insisted that i make the shot that i want and if not i keep trying it . for the past 4 year he has been on me, time your steps do this do that maybe i am paying him back for all his yelling i had to hear these past year . granted his average is higher than mine in normal league but now i have him. i walked in there thinking i would never bowl over 100 . yeah well in his face in 2 weeks i have had 199 one last week and one this week . my average went from 119 to 142 in just a few weeks . i hear about how bad he did that night and hear him say he should have moved or done this or that . i can't say anything about how i bowl . he can never pick out what i am doing right but he can pick out what i am doing wrong for once i want to hear him say you nice shoot something .

thanks so much to everyone for your impute !!!!!!!!!!!!!

My wife hands me my butt ALOT. She has really improved over the summer. We bowl on leagues together. But in practice she has been know to whoop up on me.
I really think it is funny. She just smiles, eats it up. I think she beat me about 4 times in league last season to if I remember correctly. No big deal.
Now the other man and wife on our 5 man team gets really PISSED when his wife beats him. He huffs up and won't talk.... we all laugh.

My girlfriend and I have both bowled together and opposite one another. First of all, she hates bowling against me because whether its fun or league, I am way tooo competitive. Second, she only averages 140 as opposed to my 180+ so her beating me is a rare occasion. But, when she does, I let her gloat for a while and then just tell her to see what the total scores are at the end of the night. I usually beat her by 150+ pins total for series and she doesnt like that too much!!

Depends...  If she bowls good, and shoots a nice game I don't mind.  Actually, I'd love to see her get her first 200 - and if I shoot 190 that game, then it'd be that much better for her. What hacks me off though is the odd occasion when I bowl really bad and she wins - just adds insult to injury.  Not that I'm upset with her, or with losing to her, just PO'd at myself for having my head buried up to my shoulders in that area where the sun don't shine.

he is a 170 average + and i am usually a 120 but when i get against him its totally different i have tossed more than 1 200 on him and he gets pissed . i have been know to have a great game going look over see him getting mad and toss it in the hole . always a smile . even knowing i did it on purpose. for some reason that smog look on his face the first time i bowled again him . like i am gonna hand her , her behind in a gift box really gets me . now i have to give it to him every chance i get . that first night we had to bowl each other was a team event his friends are very high end average bowlers and we still beat him . oh on the end of the night totals . i have kicked his B*** before on that one too .
so am i lost at being a wife or should i stop bowling so i don't bruise his ego any more than i already have ?

I was very confused on that myself Mojo.  I think that it is the wife using a husbands screen name as opposed to Jeffrevs attempting to be his wife.

The wife & I don't bowl on the same team.  She never will listen to me anyhow so this way I don't have to tell her what she's doing wrong.  We go at each other tooth and nail, no holds barred.  God forbid the nights she beats me.  Got that long drive home having to listen to her laugh.  Fortunately it only happens once or twice a year.

Lighten up folks, this is just a game, especially in league.  Have some fun.

Another good reason to traded her in on 220's.

It would make a good team for trio leagues and tournaments.
Think of the side bet possibilities.

TT - good one LMAO!  If you've been married 24 years, lets say she was 18 when you wed, then maybe you could still trade her in for 2 21's.

As for bowling with the wife, mine is not very good - 124 avg in the summer league (I bowled over my head, instead of 191 I avg. 211 for the leauge!).  However, her attitude is different.  She likes to bowl well, but is really just there for fun.  I try to support her game as much as I can, and offer advice when she asks (and sometimes when she doesn't).  I make it a point to tell everyone who knows we're into bowling when she does well - even if she beats me.  She actually threw a triplicate a few weeks ago, and was embarassed when they announced it for the league - but I think she (secretly) appreciated it.

Also, if I was Buzzhead and she bowls that good against you, sign her up as your partner for a mixed tournament, and bet $20 bucks a game on the side.  You guys might walk away winners (even if she does whip your a-- the whole time!)  At least you might use these whippings to your advantage for a change!
