I joined a team last week as a sub. Now I am finishing out the rest of the league. Last week we won all 3 games. We had no handicap for myself cause it was my first week.

This week we took all three again against a team that was very, very good. They had higher averages but just couldn't seem to figure out the lanes.  They had humongous hooks thrown with blazing speed. I guess that all means nothing if you can't find the pocket. We are in eighth place, but could be 5th or 6th by next week.  There isn't many points separating the places.

I am 26 and haven't bowled in a league since i was 17. I just started bowling again this past November 2003.

The only problem I can see is my average climbing to high to fast. It was 174 after the 1st week, and is now about 206 after this week. Its a 9-pin no tap league.
