First night in the bowling league

The competition looked fierce as me and my teammate Jason walked into the bowling alley on Thursday night. We had no idea of what we were about to get ourselves into. Here were 30 to 40 year-old-men hurling the ball with more accuracy and spin then I have ever seen and me and Jason knew we might be a little over our heads with this one.

But none the less Jason and I promptly got our lanes and patiently awaited the start of the night. Before we began a small group of people from our local ministry came and became a cheering squad for us. Maybe it was the pressure to perform or the nervousness of the first match but I just couldn't get into any rhythm. My highest score was a measly 139. That was the first game and the rest just went down hill from there.

Hopefully things can only get better from here. Basically, from what I understand, you can compete against your average. So since tonight we had a low average it should be easier as the season progresses. I really need to improve on picking up spares. I left so many open frames tonight that could have help my team.

Here's to next week.
