Consistency and Bowling

Pretty huh? NO, I don't want my own bowling ball. It just ties into my blog post today and its really pretty pink.

So last night, (monday night) they have specials at the bowling alley (like happy hours) starting around 9:30pm. You pay $15 and you get $5 pitchers of miller high life, 3 games of bowling and shoes. Sounds like a deal right? Went there with Tommy & RK to try my hand at bowling after many many months of absence. It went pretty well. See, I have a problem with being inconsistent when I go bowling. My typical night of bowling goes like this: I do really well my first game, then I just suck from then on. I blame it on me being tired and my lack of enthusiasm after the first game. Well, despite all this, I really wanted to work on being consistent last night - so I was. Almost.

So we made a bet that night. I usually set the goal of "I will score higher than a 100" every night that I go out to bowl. I think its a pretty good goal! Anyway, Tommy and RK being pretty good bowlers decided to give me a handicap of +80 pins. And then made the bet that they will still beat me even with my handicap.

Well, I did pretty well. I think I am getting better at consistency!

And the best part about last night though is: I got to beat Tommy in a game that night - without the handicapp. AND ... I got to beat RK - without the handicap. Muahaha ... I was so happy last night.

Final Scoring for me of the night:
Game 1 - 133
Game 2 - 66 (whoops)
Game 3 - 140
Game 4 - 147
