Due to travel, illness (get better soon, Woody) and injuries, we were back to two sets of lanes, with only nine bowlers. Still, we had great fun and competition.
Five bowlers were plus for the morning, led by BoD Marty, who was +82 with a 200 game and a high series of 529. Close behind was Dave who had his best day ever at +64, including his all-time high game of 133 after throwing three strikes in the 10th frame! George G., Ed Sch and Ben were also on the positive side.
Ted was mister consistency (145-145-146), with a 3-7 split conversion. Frank also had a 200 game and a 500 series (521), despite six splits; although he converted a 5-7 split, he was negative for the day.
The team of Ben, Ted, Marty and Frank D squeaked out a 10-pin win in game one and a big win in game two, thanks to Marty and Frank each posting 200 games. The team of Mike, Dave, George G, Bill and Ed took the double-or-nothing challenge in game three and won big to get their money back, thanks to Dave’s big game combined with George and Ed rolling 192 and 193, respectively.
We also coined a new term for a frame — a Tamme, for two gutter balls. After achieving that unfortunate result, Bill good-naturedly insisted the result be named in his “honor”!
