If all goes well and I get good results back from my surgery tomorrow my Fall is already set. Tuesday is a competitive 4 per team league (mostly men, 2 female). The other is Weds night mixed for fun, both leagues are at my local lanes and a more difficult inconsistent shot. Every other day is spoken for with either work or other responsibilities not allowing me to bowl. I'm sure I'll find time to squeeze a lil practice in there as well.

Congrats Chubbs, and good news from most everyone here saying they'll likely be bowling in fall/winter.
I'm feeling much more "in the groove" lately, and am going to continue working on becoming increasingly consistent via follow-through. Fall/winter seems to be shaping up nicely, with my THS average floating around 200.

Much obliged for the well-wishes, gents! The big day is just over a week away now! She's not a bowler, but I think she's warming up to it a little bit . She does understand that I need a competitive outlet, though, which is good.

Congrats on the nuptials Chupps. Hope you and your soon to be wife have a great day.
As for the winter leagues, I will be returning to my Wednesday, and Thursday night leagues as well as a Saturday night league with the wife, that meets every other week. I am looking forward to having a great year, and meeting my goal of averaging 200. I have come close at 193, but I am going to surpass that this year. Maybe even getting another 300 along the way...lol...

I have decided, Monday is out. Just don't see making a 6 pm start every week. Too bad, since I really wanted to bowl in this league. But, I can't be fair to the team if I can't get to the lanes on time.
The Wed night league has me stymied, and I plan to beat it this year. The house clearly has a tougher shot. It averages 10 pins under the other men's leagues in the Association. I have been at low to mid 190's in the past. This is the year I bump the 200 mark at this center.
This is strange, since I averaged 203 in the same house Sport league 2 years ago. It is the house shot that I have trouble with.

Exactly the attitude you should take...just do your best and let the proverbial chips fall where they may.
I actually logged on to post my own little bit of good news...after talking to my brother about my financial situation, I got the green light from him to bowl this winter season. I will be informing my summer league secretary, who is also the secretary for the Westgate Mixed winter league on Wednesday nights, that I intend to bowl in that league. Just hope I'm able to get on a team.

Looks like things are coming together well for my friends and I! There is strong interested from everyone for fall/winter and I believe I'll get the best of both worlds by bowling in a competitive and for-fun league on different nights. Some local tourneys are in the plans as well...
On a side note...anyone planning on drilling new pieces for fall/winter? Any specific ball choices? I believe I'll be sticking with my Toxic 15#, and maybe picking up a Gravity Shift by Christmas time.
