first two weeks of bowling

Well I decided to join the bowling league with my aunt. This is a sanction league at the end goes to Las Vagas.The first Friday Sept 15 I bowled sub average for my satisfication bowling a 120,159,143. The second we was last Friday and I bowl more to my liking and I had a blast. With some competion and trash talking with the oponnent (which happened to be my Aunts boss) we had a blast. He beat me each game but I gave him a run for his money. I end up bowling a 170, 173, 179. The 173 game I had an easy 190 to 200 game going until the 9th frame were I double guttered trying for that perfect shot, which made me lose about 20 pins. I don't know why I was trying to go out so far towards the gutter that frame. I was trowing my large hook which I usually throw when the lanes are dry. Then in the 10 frame I got 3 strikes to end the game. The last game I bowled 179 I was trying to lock up the game for our time with a strike shot, which ended up a little heavey on the headpin which game me a 6 10 split. If I did not pick up the split we would have lost the game for sure. So I said to my opponent it's no problem I can make it. And even with my cockiness I proceed to make the split to save the game and trying again to make that perfect shot to finish off the game which I ended off with a high hit and recieviing a total of 7 pins. We ended up winning that game by 2 pins over the other team. All in all It was a fun night win or lose which we lost the first two games and winning the last one. Update next week.
