There must be something in my makeup that makes me try harder when teamed with other bowlers.

In traditional 3 event tournaments I have always had pretty good success with the team and double events but have seldom done well in singles. In my last 6 tournaments my best series have been in the doubles event.

I have won a couple of singles tournaments and I have won all events titles in tournaments but I have never won a singles title in one of these events.

Time is running out for this year and it gets harder and harder to compete with the kids. I have two tournaments left but neither will be an easy chore to win a singles title.

Uh, when are we bowling doubles next?  

I'm a team bowler.  I had the highest team average last year in tournaments, which is quite the accomplishment considering the teammates I keep.  I just like the sharing the winnings.  It's not as much fun to win by yourself.

Sawbones - I don't hear it very often... but I get to say it

The beat goes on.

Ksucat called me Friday evening, they were going to a tournament on Saturday and a couple of bowlers had back out at the last moment so I said I would go.

We bowled all 9 games on Saturday. My singles was so-so score, my team score was bad but it didn’t matter most of team bowled bad, but in doubles my partner and I took over the lead.

I was paired with ksucat’s father in law so the old men showed them how to do it. We both shot little 700’s and beat the previous high score by 7 pins. There is still two more weeks to go in the tournament but we will probably get a good check at least.

Now if I could just get rid of my stubborn streak I would probably shot decent in team but that is another story.  

Next time, I'm picking Pinbuster as a partner.
