Tuesday, November 18
Fourteen bowlers arrived this morning, and there was lots of action. Ten of the 14 bowled above their average, and even the four who didn’t came close.
If there is anything that could put a smile on all 14 faces, it was today’s biggest highlight: Ed Sch’s 201 in the first game! Always nice to see Ed show flashes of his 90th birthday performance of a couple of years ago, when he bowled three 200 games! His 498 series was +48 and, while not the highest plus for the day, earns Ed at least a share of BoD. His co-BoD, Dave Smith, was hidden over on lanes 11/12, where he bowled a nice +58. Well done by both.
While there were no other 200 games, there were three 500 series. Frank D continued his string of excellence with a 552. Tom had a 531, and Ed Sm had a 518. Other bowlers with plus scores were John at +26, Mike at +19, Bill at +6 and Ted at +4.
We had several split conversions: a 5-6-10 by Mike, a 5-7 by both Marty and Ted, a 4-5 by Ed Sc and a 3-10 by Dave. And, no session would be complete without a Ben Briggs Spare two of which were rolled by Mike.
The team competition saw each of the three teams win a game, so no blood there. Sadly, Ben took it in the chin in his game three matches versus both George G and Ted. Next time he should remember not to bowl his poorest game in the third.
