Its that time of the year the fall leagues are starting and I think I'm ready. I spent the summer in a plastic ball league which was fun, but I'm ready for the real stuff. I took my boys yesterday for practice and it felt a lot different then tossing that plastic. I didn't buy any new equipment yet so I'll be starting the season with my black widow and the RAW Doom, I have an Icon 300 and a Hammer Truck in the bag as well but don't believe I'll be using them.  I will also lug the clear plastic ball and see if it helps with the ten pin this year.  Good luck to all in the up coming fall league......

Well must say this was a pretty good weekend. Started off with City Tournament shot pretty well 237 235 225 in  singles.  It was a tale of two worlds during the tournament, just 4 lanes to my left were 2 birthday parties going on(kids were running up on the teams next to us during the tournament). I was just happy we weren't the ones bowling next to them.  About 5 pairs to my right was New Albany native Mike Wolf, yes PBA member Mike Wolf.  I didn't know he was there until I checked the brackets and I was beatin in the second round by Mr. Wolf 235 - 247.  After that good set of Singles I managed to forget how to bowl with a 178 - 138 - 198, my partner only beat me by 12 pins searies so I didn't feel so bad.

Then Sunday came and my son bowled his set of singles and Doubles for the Youth City. He had come off his best game of 199 and Series 499 just last week during the team events.  He started real slow 107 came back with a 164 and then blew up with a 233. During the middle of the third game he said to me, "The Giants are gonna win, because I'm bowling so good." I just laughed and hoped he was right.  Everyone he was bowling with all set high game scores that day so everyone had a great time.  BTW we were glad the Giants won this way the Boy's lost to the Super Bowl champs.

Anyone going to the Pro-am in Indy.  My son and I went last year and had a great time. Going again should be a fun, we have a group of bowlers from the Ft. Knox Ky area going. 

couple of guys are thinking about starting a plastic ball only league. Anyone ever done this. If so would love to hear how you set it up (rules and such).

Ok I finally broke down and got plastic for Ten pins. I missed the 10 pin 4 out of 5 times last night. I think I'll go back to breaking my wrist and through hard. I bowl again tonight I'll give it another try and see what happens.   scores from last night 211 - 170 -  144, lanes were so dry I used the plastic ball the last game.... Go figure... Maybe I should have gotten a WD, but the buzzsaw was a good price couldn't pass it up.

 Some good news. My son has bowled his high game and series this past weekend.  Sat 144 174(high game) and then 93 for a 411.  He followed that up on Tues with a 415 series 136 - 123 - 156 so he got more consistant. 

I just hope I can bowl for avg tonight and Friday.
