Well I cant be to dissapointed with my performance with it being the 1st week out. 1st game out I shot a 194 right off the bat. Had 2 opens as well. 1st game, I know I can repeat like that. 2nd game, had a few bad balls, I'll admit the excitement got me a bit, and a bit of pressure to show that the 194 wasn't a fluke. Shot 167. Splendid, but I'm leaving opens by not picking it up. Dustin has lent me his Wolf to throw at the spares. 1st time I have ever thrown it was tonight, getting used to it. 3rd, fell off the pace. shot a 147. Overall series of 508, with a 169 avg. Gotta really thank dustin for taking so much time to really show me what to do, where to put the ball, and basically totally change my game. +1!!!!

Well, my 2nd season on the Monday 5-Man at La-Ru starts on the 20th (next monday). I'm pumped and looking foward to it. I have had some coaching from Dustin throughout the summer and a little beforehand. Gotta give him credit for takin' a 134 avg, straight shot inconsistant bowler and totally turning that around. Of course, theres a TON more room for improvement, but my goal is just to stick with it. I have been rolling a Rampage (thanks to Dustin for the insight and gettin that taken care of for me). I'm still very much so at the bottom of the ladder in regards to skill level, but I'm going to take it one ball and one frame at a time.
