bowled again this past weekend. saturday evening team event 6pm, i was on lanes 17-18, others in our group bowled 19-20. so called flying back ends once again were not present. this time the shot featured tight back ends with mild ob to outside. did my usual 2 good (200+) and 1 bad (< 200). no one else fared very well on these 4 lanes. for whatever reason, i have never bowled well on 17-20. 1-16 and 21-32 i have bowled well on occasion. of course that is the reason why i get to bowl on those lanes every year. i think the tournament directors know this. anyway, sunday at 9am, our group was on lanes 1-8. i started on 7-8 where the carry was questionable at best. 8 played tighter than 7. once again 2 good, 1 bad. moved to 5-6 for doubles and bowled my best set, however once again, 2 good, 1 bad. although the 2 good were both 220+ allowing me to post a 600+ finally. i might mention also, almost always my bad game is game 2, indicating that i am not playing the lane transitions very well, but i am still learning. some day... anyway, will try again in january of 2006.
