Finished in 14th place!

We finished in 14th place. We had a rough last couple weeks – we played some good teams who just consistently beat our average. While some of us beat our average the last few weeks, there weren’t really any games where we all beat our average on the same game – more like 1 or 2 of us would have a good game, but that would be negated by someone else having a bad game, all while the other team’s players would have 3 out of 4 players having “the best night of the season”. (how lucky we got to be a part of it!)


But we finished in the top half – awesome job considering we aren’t long time league bowlers! We all won some money, (like 10-20, depending on how often you bowled) so unless you missed a payment or something I'll pay you when I see you next!
Please respond to this blog post if you’re interested in bowling next year, if you haven't already – the season starts January 3rd and January is a 5 Tuesday month, so if you’re interested please let me know your availability for January as well. (and don’t forget, our averages start over in January as well)
Here’s the season’s high scores:

Pearl - 155

Agnes – 135

Wilbur - 175

Gus – 247

Esme – 176

Eudors 189

Millicent – 168

Ethel - 146


Good job, enjoy your break and hope to see most, if not all, of you next year!

December schedule

Here's December's schedule:

We were in 5th last week, but we played the Starrs and only one one game. (they have a couple of pretty good bowlers on their team; one of which Gus and I have seen bowl a 299 before...he's the kind of guy that does a little celebration move as his ball first hits the pins because he knows they are all going down). But hey, we won one game and if we can win one game every time we're doing pretty well - and should stay in the top 3rd.

Reply via blog post if you're interested in bowling in January-the "season" starts over.

Good job team!

Quick update - we won 2 out of 3 Tuesday! We were in 9th place, so we're likely at least still there or moving up!! EXCELLENT JOB!!

Now, I just need to work in a practice game or 4 before my next outing so I don't suck it up!
:)

November schedule & standing

Esme let me know as of last night we were in 10th place! Woo hoo! And, the team won 5 points out of 7, so that means we're likely still in 10th, if not up a spot or two, allright team!!!

Here's the November schedule -  thanks for the availability this month - the schedule was a lot easier to do and I have several of you bowling 3x a month.

Please let me know if you have issues.

Also, we only bowl two weeks in December - the season is over December 13th and starts again the first Tuesday of the year. I don't need an answer yet, but if you know you're NOT available to bowl next year, let me know. (otherwise I'll do a status check at the end of next month)

Update!

Tuesday was the position round - we were in 12th place. We won 2 of the 3 games (took 5 of 7 points), so I expect we'll stay where we are at least, if not move up a couple spots. Its pretty tight in the 4-15th range; totally possible to totally mix things up... if the teams in 4th-8th place have two off nights in a row and teams in our spot have 2 good nights in a row, that kind of thing.

I need to say thanks to Gus, Eudora (who bowled a 186!!!) and Wilbur for carrying me - aside from my first game I missed my average big time...and with a 111 average that's not ok! Gus and I need a practice night, that's for sure. (ok, HE doesn't need a practice night, but he's gonna get one!)

Accomplishments so far:
Name               High Game                High Series (total of all 3 games)
Pearl                  148                           367
Agnes                135                           357
Wilbur               175                            439
Gus                    247                           707* highest series ever!!!!
Esme                 118                            336
Eudora              186                            462*this is at least a few pins off; I'll confirm and update, but its close
Millicent            168                            404
Ethel                  128                           330

Good luck to Esme, Agnes, Ethel and Eudora next Tuesday!

And...Agnes, if you need any motivation for next week....

oooooh....aaaaahhh....
;)

October Schedule

Here's the schedule for October - let me know asap if there are any conflicts.

Update; looking good so far....

Well, Eudora reminded me I hadn’t posted any updated on the blog yet (sorry!!) so here you go. As of last week, we were in 8th place. Last night I think we won 2 out of 3 games, (both our team and the other team had people establishing their averages so sorry I’m not 100% sure), so we should still be in the top half; maybe still even the top 3rd.  :)



So far everyone’s done an excellent job of keeping their initial average beatable, so good job!! Although I’ll be honest, I stunk it up last night! I went bowling the night before for a work team building thing and bowled by best game ever (I think) a 176!! Yeah…and then it didn’t go so well on actual league night – missed my average 2 out of 3 games! Boo Pearl!!!

But, luckily it’s a team sport and we did well, go team!!

Anyway, I also have the lane schedule for the rest of the season; it will be posted with the schedule from now on but here it is for the rest of September:


20th: lanes 5 & 6


27th: lanes 31 & 32
