Just Arrived
« on: May 11, 2005, 01:02:36 PM »
I arrived in Baton Rouge at 340 pm.  The bowling center looks good, only 48lanes though.  Prices in the booths are very reasonable, but no H2O in stock yet so i bought a Groove Dry R for singles.
I bowl team tomorrow and i will post my results good or bad.
The Sheraton is very nice, free internet access, nice rooms, comfortable beds.

Team Event:
Started out with feet at 30 shooting at 15, used my tomahawk, worked well if i hit my spot, changed to my gold nugget half way through the game and moved to 20 shooting 15 and finished well  171.
Second game kept same line but had some foot speed issues and shot a 201
Third game changed balls but again it was foot speed issues and changed back to the nugget until i shot with my Groove Dry/r. shot 137.
Bad scores but i missed A LOT of spares, and the approaches were very slick and i fouled twice the first game. Carry was very good for me i didn't leave any 10 pins.  

Will update more tomorrow.

shipper, i will try to have as much detail as possible as to which ball i use and where i am playing.  
The Sheraton is across the street for the convention center but it is still a good hike, reminds me of a Australian 15min walk.  lol!

Talking about the SHERIDAN .. I'm going to BR in June .. I called the SHERIDAN in January and there were NO ROOMS available (6 months in advance!). I had to book at the COMFORT SUITES! Has anybody stayed there? What can I expect?

I'm not down, the only thing that kinda bothers me is that we bowl the 730am shift and we get fresh oil.  I thought last year that the broke down shoot in Reno was very easy. O well at least now i know where to start rite away, i will post results tomorrow and get to a more detailed report when i get home this weekend.

Anyone know what happened to Pdiddy? Did he come back from the Nationals in one piece? I was looking for his report on the tournament and thought he should have been done before now?
