I am the league secretary. My first game is usually not my best as I am collecting and counting money. I am usually late on the approach and being hurried by the other bowlers.

Last night, I got lined up. I had the front five. As I was counting my money, I discovered I was $30 short. Being called to bowl, I walked up to the line and let one go. I missed my mark by 5 boards and sent the ball right into the 4 pin, leaving a bucket. My second ball I tugged it again and chopped the last pin off.

Getting back to counting my money, I discovered I had just totaled the cash and checks wrong.

Back to the line, I proceed to string 3 more strikes before a deadly split. This could have been a good game. I ended up with a 220. Two opens and a bad 10th frame.

"Following the course of least resistance makes for crooked rivers and crooked men."

I'm focused to bowl the second we start the first game, but being the anchor of 5-man team and having to wait for everyone to get their drinks, go outside for a smoke, chat with  the other teams, etc...I get upset, toss it fast and hit the pocket light. Most of the first game goes this way. And the second game while everyone eats between frames. And the third game while everyone stumbles looking for the bar.

Should I just bowl singles??

Then you should have been with me in Germany. Golf was cut three ways by a runway ! Lights would come on and you better nOT hit your ball. Old F-4's or hueys coming in. Some were Dust-Off's so they were comin' in "Hot"...better duck !

That's where I learned to concentrate. That and a school the Marines have..but that's a different concentration
