Its now into the seventh week since I joined the new league to play on Sunday night at a different centre. Its a very fast paced league! Even through we are a singles league, we play like a doubles team. Most weeks we are finished within an hour. Not like the other league I was at, where they take up to 90 minutes to bowl three games in a doubles league. I now laugh when I think the old league has top bowlers and plays serious competition. How many of those people bowled a 300 game or even enter tournaments? NONE!! I actually met a high average bowler in this league who has bowled 20 plus of perfect 300 games. Its only a dream of mine to bowl one 200 game. My 17 yo daughter has bowled it once a couple of years ago.
I have made afew new friends at bowling as well as on Facebook. This league has a chat group on Facebook which mostly talks about bowling league and tournaments. Afew of our league players enter afew tournaments on the weekends. I was asked to do my first one at the centre in early March. Its a four man team to bowl four games. Probably end the games within 2 hours and lunch will be provided afterwards. It has been donkey years since I last played serious in a tournament. Wish me luck!!
It has been a challenge to play against high average bowlers this year. Only one week I manage to win all the scratch and HCP points. Other weeks has only been afew HCP points mostly with an odd scratch point win here and there. Last week I bowled good games over average. Only missed a 500 series by nine pins!! When I check on our standing sheet I am surprise I am currently 1st for a high series with HCP. But I am sure that will change by the time the league ends in December.
To all readers who play sport, best of luck for a good year of playing and commitment.
