i keep just missing cashing
« on: October 26, 2003, 04:11:25 AM »
Man talk about suck, the last 4 tournaments i've bowled in i've missed cashing by one spot, or on average about 10 pins each tournament.

Today i was 6th, top 5 cashed
last week 12 places cashed i was 13th
2 weeks ago 7 places, i was 8th
etc etc.


man o man. I bowl well, average 220 some and feel like i bowl well, but i just feel cheated somehow because i was sooo close to getting at least my money back :-(

Any suggestions on getting over this hump

Stay in your own game - don't worry about the eventual outcome. Just keep inside your own shots, and make the best ones you can.
If you truly bowl your best (not necessarily score...), you should start cashing regularly.

i had a chance today if i punch out in the 9th and 10th to make matchplay. make a great shot in the 9th, in the first ball in the 10th i left a stone 9 pin for a 245 game :-(

you really hit on the head what i do gary. i always seem to have a 3 bagger, stone (insert back row pin here) then 3 bagger. just enough to get me off a high game and keep me away from the big game to get me over the top. I'll shot 210-230 every game but i just need that one big game to put me over the notch

spares ?
 Usually when I miss a check, I could have cashed if I had done a better job making spares.
