Tuesday, December 2
What a day filled with highlights for many of the thirteen bowlers this morning!
Let’s start with Frank D, who bowled his sixth 500 series in a row at 517. Only problem was that his average had risen to 180, so that his series was actually below average. Bill and George G had plus series of +5 and +22. Mike had three nice games for a plus 50.
Ed Sch had his second 200 game in the last three weeks at 202 on his way to a 509, his first 500 series of the season — this was +59. Ben’s 433 series (+73) was his personal high series of the season. Woody had his personal high game ever (!) of 161, which included seven marks, helping him roll a +75 series. In most any other week any of those three performances would be worthy of BoD honors, but today they weren’t even close .
Next is Ted. Starting slowly with a 130, he then had a nice 164 in game two. Then Ted got hot, really hot, as he started game three with seven strikes in a row! He marked out the rest of the way for a terrific 253 for his highest DMA bowling game ever. His 547 series was his highest ever and was +109.
Finally, there was Tom. To say he’s been in a slump would be a gross understatement but not on this day. He started the morning with a five bagger, missed a spare, then rolled another five bagger, ending up with a 259. Two other good games enabled him to finish with a 627 series, which was +120. Since we’d hate for any one of us who bowls +100 or better not to get a BoD honor, the “Committee” unanimously names both Ted and Tom as co-honorees for this day.
We also had some nice split conversions with Ed Sc making a 3-10, Marty a 4-5 and Tom a 5-7.
