" THE FIRST DAY "

  Earlier this week  I decided to get on my solo tournament gig and really get out on the circuit, so that's what I did. I went to AMF Ritchie for the NABI tournament and had a good feeling about the weekend.  I went to the first squad and didn't do so good. 190,144,129. The shot wasn't hard it was just that you had to have the right ball and play the right area of the lane.

The 2nd squad ws alot better. I shot 247 the first game with my Storm Hy-Road. 2nd game I shot 214( stone 8, and solid 9 in the 9th and 10th frame). 3rd game I lost my focus a little bit and shot 182 but I shot 700(643 Scratch) and qualified for the semis tommorrow so stay tuned to find out what happens the rest of the weekend!!!!!!!!!!!

So sunday was the semi finals and I was pretty confident that I had a chance to finally get my first title. I got to the bowling center and got focused, when the semis started I had the same look as the day before. Game 1 was a solid 204 and then everything went down hill from there. I was following a group of bowlers who were bowling extremely slow which slowed the pace and threw my rythm completely off, and on top of that they had low revrates which was pushing tons of oil down lane(on an already long shot). To make a long story short I shot 507 and finished 11th place this weekend(at least I cashed!!!) and is looking forward to BOWIE next week!!!!
