Reality check...big time!
« on: August 29, 2006, 11:42:34 AM »
Man , I bowl in a lot of great leagues with some great bowlers. I usually feel like I can beat anyone...atleast most of the time lol. I only average around 215 but, I can throw some high games in once in a while. I was so hyped last Wed. I bowl in a doubles league...4 games .Two games for position then whomever you are scheduled against 2 more =4. Well, I knew I'd be bowling Billy O'neill...I've beaten him before so I figured I can take him again. Before we started he was mad, he only had 406 after his first pair. I figured I'd talk some smack to mess with him....yeah that worked....not! We don't get practice after the very beg of the night.When you move off your pair it's pot luck...anyway....He was mad saying 203 average blah blah..not in a mean way just I guess disappointed with himself. He looks at me says I am so done. I laugh he then says I am going to hook the whole lane and bury you quickly...I laugh some more. There was quite some oil there and I figured he'd move a little deeper whatever. Well he moved all the way left shooting over the left corner out to the one board and getting it back.No one else dared throwing that shot. He came out first 4, then ten pin in the 5th and punched out to the end.....No not the game.The game for a 279 then a 300 on me....He showed why he is one of the best in the world to me.He hit the same line every time speed so close as the last shots before.I shot 460 against him but, he had 579 I feel like such a chump.Then again that's what it's all about right...I might not be as good as he is but atleast I got into the ring and did my best. He gave me one heck of a reality check...!Atleast I am taller lol!

Yeah that is real cool being able to bowl with the stars of the game. How many other sports can say that? Haha. This year I will be bowling with Vince Wood, a 900 shooter and top star on the west region, and wouldn't be surprise if he makes exemption for the national tour through there. It shall be a great year for sure, being able to see such true talent being used.

I'm on two leagues with Paul Flemming, Carloyn Dorin-Ballard and Ron Williams Jr. At first, I thought I wasn't bowling league but a PTQ qualifier with them and some of the other regional pros and house hacks with loads of talent around me. I shot good for me (671 and 629). I went in 3 brackets scratch and drew 3 pros. Guess who lost! I love watching people with serious game. Sometimes I'm more interested in watching great bowlers then me bowling.
