Bowling Tip of the Day

Thought I would be abit different and add some bowling tips for once.  I can across this tip from other sources.

Practice Swing Drill

Keys to Success
  • take stance
  • take a practice swing
  • feel the speed of your swing
  • when your elbow (like a piston) returns to the body, that's the signal to go
  • go with your tempo steps
  • ensure your swing and steps are in time.
Safety
  • ensure no one stands behind
  • dry your hands before each swing
Good luck and high scoring!

Great games

Sunday night's match was good. All my matches were over average and it felt good to be back bowling well again for one night.  I haven't bowl for the past two Wednesdays as I had other commitments on but I should be back next week for a social match with other ladies.

Before the league even started, we had a social game at the centre and bowled four games with a friend of mine. It sure was worth the practice as I had some good advice from my friend who pointed out why I had been bowling lousy with under average games for the past couple of weeks.

At the end of this month, my 13 yo daughter will be entering into her first tournament for the year.  She will be bowling four games on Sunday in a three man team to be played at one of the centres east of Brisbane.  Wish her luck!

Busy competitions

It's been 13 days since I last made any form of a sporting report.  I think it's because I have been busy with other commitments on.

Our weeks are busy with bowling leagues now as all leagues are back into action.  Last week I was awarded as the star of the week recipient in both leagues as I had a great game bowled.  But our team placements is another matter...we have been up and down for the past two weeks.

Last Monday the high school hosted their annual swimming carnival at a local public pool. Only about one third of the school's enrollments attended to this event to either compete or support their house colour.  My 13 yo daughter entered three 50m events to compete.  She came 3rd for breaststroke and backstroke and 1st for freestyle. At present time I do not know when the district event will be happening in Brisbane.
