Its easy to get burnout by this time of the year, i have 2 weeks left in one league and 3 weeks in another one left. I usually practice every sunday but yesterday decided to help my wife cook for a baby shower of her friend instead. She was estatic that i stayed home and helped i won alot of brownie points but honestly could care less about bowling right now. I can see why ball companies do not market at this point of the year much except closeouts because after over 240 league games i just do not care if i even shoot 250 plus.

 I shot 556 for 3 friday night and told my number three bowler to step it up because i am just going to slow roll the ball because my back was sore from too much bowling. He shot right at 600 to make up for me and we won 5 out of 7 points, but he had this lost look like why is this guy just walking slow and throwing the ball so slow. I had a streak of 8 straight 640 plus weeks but even after cuervo 1800 shots i just cared less than more lol

 Take some time off and enjoy life even if it just making someones elses day better and helping your wife,girlfriend or mom.

Can definitely say that I've been there and done that...I walked away circa 1990 and stayed away close to a decade.  Kept all the old stuff but unfortunately got suckered into believing that resin is necessary to score on the current conditions in the league setting.  

Then, after I got back from Wichita last May, I basically took off until a few weeks ago.  Part of the leave was to try and give the hand a chance to finally heal properly and some of it was simply the lack of desire to bowl league.  I didn't miss the house shots at all...even now, they lend themselves more to plastic than anything else.  As Queens grows closer, I do find myself going in to practice but league is still a show up, throw the three uninspired games and go home.  But for the fact that I didn't trust the response that I could pay my sanction fee in Tulsa, I doubt I would have bowled league this year at all...
