Ok, I'll try and set the stage for youse guys.....
Ol Chalkie G used to be a terror on the lanes back in his youthful days at Sheridan Lanes. Well, if you consider a kid at 12 who hit a 205 and about a 530.....I suppose that isn't too bad. Had the talent certainly, game progressed some into the 170s in high school for an average.
After that it was hit and miss.....went to the lanes sometimes, often didn't. Last time I was in a league was prolly 5 years ago.....finished out with about a 190 average. Finally hit a 700 series, actually twice and came away with a high game of 278.
Anyway, the scores keep getting higher. I only go bowling once every year or two. A couple years ago I'm at that Voelker's place on Amherst St. and roll a 230 in my first game, well over 600 for a series.
Fast forward to this past Tuesday......Haven't gone bowling in two years time and my first game is a 255, 6 pack......then a 233, and then a 197.....a friggin 685 and I haven't gone bowling in two years?!?!?!?!?
The game is a travesty.....time to fire off a letter to the HQ Bowling Association in wonderful St. Louie, Missourah.
