Still in the top half

After last week we "fell" to 13th place -we're tied in # of games won for 12th, but the other team has more total pins. I was a little shocked we dropped a notch, as we won 5 of 7, but oh well.
Those lanes at the far end (1-6) suck, I'll tell you that. Our balls were not behaving the way we (or the other team) wanted them to, but we managed to win 5 out of 7 again. (that last one we lost by 13 pins!!! Argh- so frustrating!!) So, I imagine we're still around 11-15th place.
Anyway, Gus and I are off the next two weeks, so please update us with your results. Also, the last two weeks are already paid for, so you guys pay me that night. (vs the bowling alley)

We do plan on getting in a practice the weekend before we bowl again-don't worry, we want to finish strong! Keep it up, guys - lets keep in the top 15!!!

April Schedule

Well, we were in 12th, but we won 5 points out of 7 last night (by a hair - we took total pins by 9!!) so hopefully that helped us move back up a little bit. Let's all hit the lanes with the free play cards and get a round of practice in before the last month, so we can finish strong!!

Here's the last schedule, along with the lane assignments, let me know if you have any questions/concerns:

Um...we don't belong here....

Well, last Tuesday was a position round....we played the President and Secretary's team, Who Gives A Shit. (who, by the way, have averages of 177, 203, 208 and 149 (the girl on the team). So, while we were in 3rd, we were really playing in the big leagues above our head...we joked about how we're supposed to be in Coach but somehow are up in First Class. :)

We lost all 3 games. We just played poorly, below our overall abilities. My ball wouldn't do anything I wanted it to...when I wanted it to curve, it went straight. When I wanted it to go straight, it suddenly found a curve. Grr. Anyway, the other team experienced the same frustrations - many of them bowled below their averages too - which should've meant we could win a game, but nope. Anyway, no big deal, we're still should be around the top 10, back in Coach, where we belong.

Anyway, I updated the schedule with the lane assignments - they actually gave them to us this year and I just ran across them.

Gus and I will be gone the week of the 15th, so if you need to switch, please email each other, not me. (actually, it would probably be best if you always just emailed everyone instead of me all the time, but for sure I won't be checking email from Curacao!) :)

Next up is Pearl, Emse, Agnes, and Opal. Good luck and good bowling!
