WEEK 12 RESULTS

The Guzzlers 5 - Elm Trio 2

The outcome of tonight's bowling is uncertain because The Guzzlers had a sub bowling and we don't know his average or the handicap. We were well below our average in the first two games and a fair amount over it in the third while surrending a handicap of over 100 pins per game. We may have earned two points for the third game. I'd guess we were 2-5 at best. We won't know for certain until we see the stat sheet next week. (Note: my guess was correct. We won 2 points and lost 5 in week #12.)

PRACTICE AT CASTRO VILLAGE BOWL

Practicing the night after Thanksgiving

The league took the night off because of the Thanksgiving holiday but that didn't stop all of us from bowling. Linda and Kat of the Hot Mamas and Flaco of Sumbitch joined my Dad (Larry) and I for some practice.

My Dad was having some trouble with the fit of his Storm Natural and Columbia 300 Blue Dot so he took them to The Bowler's Advantage pro shop at Diablo Valley Bowl in Concord. Ray Spackman at The Bowler's Advantage found the previous drilling was off which was causing him to squeeze the ball. After a new fitting, plugging, and re-drilling, it was time to give the new balls a try. Here is some video:

WEEK 11 RESULTS

2-5 & 0-7 in weeks 10 & 11

Here are the stats for the past two weeks. Neither week was particularly good for us. Since we took over first place in week #9, we've stumbled back out by going 2-5 in week #10 and 0-7 in week #11. Our record for the season has fallen from 40-23 to 42-35 in the past two weeks.

We have next week off for the Thanksgiving holiday but we're coming out anyway for some practice. Some other folks from around the league say they're coming out, too. With a little practice, perhaps we can put an end to our slump.

CATCHING UP

I finally got my scanner working again so I caught up on our league stat sheets.  The stats for the last three weeks are now present on our STAT SHEETS page. (Click on the link here or on the STAT SHEETS tab above to reach it.) I ordinarily have the results from our latest series posted within a day or two but I seem to have lost our copy of the scoresheet from last week's bowling. Solve one problem and create another...

WEEK #9 RESULTS

Elm Trio 7 - Let It Roll 0

We weren't at our best but we did well enough to pull off a seven-point sweep. After being swept ourselves last week, a good night was needed to put us back on track. Our record improved to 36-26 which I expect will bump us up a spot or two in the standings.
