I Have Found That By Getting Older, My Ability To Participate In Sports Continue To Decline. Bowling Had Always Been My Favorite Sport To Participate In. I Wish I Had Started Practicing At An Earlier Age. The Sport Of Bowling Is Not A Physically Challenging Endurance For Me. I Find Myself Getting Frustrated Because I Usually Excel At Most Of The Things I Face. The Sport Of Bowling In My Opinion Is A Mind Over Matter Type Of Finesse.
This Season Started Off Differently For Me Because Of An Abrupt Change In Equipment.
I Had Been Bowling With A Conventional Ball And Decided To Switch To Fingertip. Had I Made This Change In Mid Summer It Would Not Have Effected My League Average. It Took Me A Good Three Weeks To Just Get The Hang Of This All New To Me Kind Of Release. If Given The Opportunity To Do It Over Again I Would Have Got Acquainted With It Long Before The Winter League Started. I Believe My League Average Would Be Much Higher Than It Is, Because Of Those Weeks I Did Poorly Due To Me Not Having A Clue To Where My Ball Would Be Traveling.
With All That Behind Me Now All I Can Do Is Focus On Helping My Team Create Wins. The Team I Bowl On Have all The Ingredients Of Becoming A Very Talented Team. With The Season Still Young, Anything Can Happen. Presently Our Team Is 10 Games Out Of First Place. League play Is 35 Weeks Long. We Just Bowled Our 12th Week.
I Take My Game Seriously And I Play To Win. I Try To Practice As Much As I Can So I Can Become A Better Bowler.
I Think This New Ball Of Mine Gives Me Hope For Better Games In The Future. I Set A Goal For Me To End The Season With A Minimum Of A 170 Average. Next Season My Goal Would Be Much Higher.
My Father Continues To Bowl And I Am Honored To Be On His Team. My Mother Saw Her Season Cut Short For Health Reasons.
I Serve As President Of The Bowling League. I Am One Of The Youngest Members Who Bowl On The Senior League.
I Have Met Some Wonderful People On This League. It Has Also Led Me To Reinstate Old Friendships With People From My Past.
I Love The Game And Hope I Can Bowl For As Long As My Health Allows It.
Oh Yea, My Bowling Idol Is None Other Than Walter Ray Williams Jr. He Will Go Down In History As The Best Bowler Ever In The Sport Of Bowling.
I Have Watched Walter Ray Compete In Tournament Play In Indianapolis Every Year. I Also Watched Him Pitch Horseshoes. He Has Won Several Events In That Sport As Well.
What Makes Him Stand Out More Than Any Other? He Is A Hall Of Fame Bowler With His Right Hand And A Champion Horseshoe Pitcher With The Left Hand. How Can You Not Respect The Ability To Achieve Greatness In Two Different Sports Using Opposite Hands?
As For Me, I Will Continue To Bowl My Best Game. I Will Continue To Stockpile The Memories Of My Father And I Bowling Together. Not Very Many People Have That Opportunity. My Brother Tuck Began Bowling Again Last Season Where He Lives In San Diego. He Will Be Joining Our League Once He Retires And Relocates In Danville. Of course He And I Have A Friendly Wager On Who Ends The Season With The Highest Average. There Is No Doubt In My Mind Who Will Be In The Victory Circle In The Springtime. I Wish You Good Luck Bro!
