I got to the bowling alley tonight and yes the pro shop was open. I got a chance to see my new ball and get it drilled properly before rolling a few practice throws with the ball I have been borrowing for two years. As we finished up practice the pro brought me my new ball that several on the bowling team chipped in for for Pastor Appreciation. There is no better time than the present to try it out, so that’s what I did. I rolled a 399 for the night which will bring my average down a few more points to 142. Team wise it was not a good night. We lost the first game by 220 pins, won the second game, and then lost the third game. I’m sure we’ll drop a few more places in the standings by next week. Oh, well. To finish off this post, here is a picture of my new ball.
