Fri League (19 Aug 2011)

My scores were no where close to what I expected the 1st night of bowling.  A couple of days prior, I rolled a 234 and a 185 in practice, but that didn't seem to carry over to Friday night.  The lanes were rather dry on the outside, and there didn't seem to be a lot of strikes from anybody.  With that being said, I was not upset with my bowling overall.  My spare shooting has continued to improve, and the majority of my opens were due to splits (except for a stretch in the 2nd game where I had 4 opens in a row).  I ended up with a 141 average after the 1st night of bowling (154, 122, 148).  I finished up last season with a 159 average, so if you throw out that 2nd game, my night wasn't too awful.  Guess I will have a little bit of handicap next week.  My goal for this season is to carry at least a 175 average, and I believe that is a realistic goal.
