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.

Well. I don't want to brag or show off but I have a good feeling that I am all there this time around.

Quit league play for various of reasons from work to mental but now I got myself more lessons and understand what I can do and starting to get an idea of how many hand positions, angle, spare game and everything going.

I am not hoping for anything but I do know this is the year that I can bowl my heart out and enjoy it thru the ups and downs.

Plus, looking toward bowling high games and carry those low games but in the end.. I want to be the best bowler that I can be. Who know? Could be trying out for the USBC Masters and PBA Tour Trial next summer and probably get into some first-time tournament since I am chasing a dream and it will take a lot of focus and hard work.

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.

Sorry Chubbs, I screwed up your name in the previous post.

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.

is there anybody on here that lives around tennessee and bowls in their junior league?

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.
