Wow!  It's been a while since I last posted on here. Since my last post, I have bowled in Vegas, and a couple other cities in the Phoenix area.  Vegas was fun.  I went bowling at 5:00 AM the morning after a long night of partying at the Orleans over Spring Break.  It's the only time I am happy going 250-150-240-180...I ended up getting new grips and bowling 8 games.  It was nice...I averaged over 200 a game, and I just love showing myself that I haven't forgotten the game I love so dear.

I was invited to a Cosmic Bowling Party in August in Glendale, AZ, and right out of the gate I shot a 267 with a 9-bagger. I told people I wouldn't use my arm brace the next game and fired a 248. Go figure I'd do that well.  The group said no more right-handed bowling the rest of the way...I shot pretty good left handed the rest of the way...I'm happy with 120s-130s! 

I went to my home house (Frontier in Scottsdale, AZ) and shot 227-206 about two weeks ago. Seems like I'll never forget how to bowl, and should I move with my family to the midwest, I'll be ready to resurrect my amateur career...

Thanks to those who checked out my page recently. Hopefully I'll have more bowling stories!

Cheers! 

One of the things I love to do while in Vegas over Spring Break is to go bowling at the Orleans (and anywhere else I can)...My buddies think I am nuts because I'll go to bed extremely late (2 AM) after bowling or get up at 5:30 AM to go bowl...At a buck a game in a massive house, I'll go a good 12-16 games each day I am there.  I am really looking forward to it this year because I am bringing my own equipment and a renewed passion for the sport. 

 I found it strange that the US Open scores were low (sub-200 is considered low), and I contemplated entering as an amateur this year.  I know I will be eligible next year. I hope the tournament is held in the Western US in '08...I'll plop the $500 down to go qualify.

Anyhow...Two weeks to Vegas!!!!!!!!!

Cheers,

Nick
