We ended the first half of our league this past Thursday.  Our team ended up in 6th place out of 13.  A very poor showing for our team.  Only the 2nd time in our 9 years together that we have finished out of the top 5 in a half.  The thing that worries me is we are actually averaging a liitle higher than we usually do in the 1st half.  We always seem to bowl better in the 2nd half and it looks like that will have to be the case if we want to get in the top couple of spots.  I am pretty happy with my 1st half.  I am averaging 223 with a high series of only 734.  The shot has been a little tougher this year and I like it when I am consistant.  I do have a 300 this year and I would like this year to be my first season with 2.

I may be starting a bi-weekly scratch tournament in my home house.  The bowling alley is located at 555 Winthrop Street in Taunton, Ma.  It will be a 4 game qualifier with beat the field matchplay with the top 4 bowling a stepladder final.  I am trying to keep the price down around $40 or so.  1 in 5 will cash.  I am going to try to put out a tougher shot than we have on our leagues to try to make shot making a priority.   If interested, shoot me an email at biged803@yahoo.com and I will give you some more info.  I would like to start them in February. 

Well, after a couple of weeks off due to an old knee injury flaring up, I am prepared to come back this Thursday.  Thank God too, because there is nothing worse than sitting on the sidelines and watching your team. 

The 2 weeks after my 300 were pretty boring and that is why I did not write about them.  Not to mention the fact I was aggravated about the injury.  The 2 weeks after I shot 665 and 681 respectively.  I have been leaving ALOT of 9 counts the last 2 weeks I bowled.  Hopefully this upcoming week will be better.

Check back Friday for more action.
