Bowling Tourney – Week 5

Wednesday, June 27, 2007

        Yesterday was another Tuesday of bowling.

        I arrived at the venue (SM Mega Mall Bowling Center) at around 5:45 PM.  Suddenly, I remembered that my wife, Beng, requested me to buy dried squid from one of the stalls outside of the bowling center.  So, I had to go out, bought the dried squid, and put it in the car.  It would crush if I put it in my bowling bag.

        My games last night were the best so far since the start of the tournament.  My three (3) games averaged 179.33 (158 – 204 – 176).  I opened three (3) frames in the first game.  On the second game, I made several strikes, four (4) of which were consecutive (a four bagger) at the 9th and last frames (a punch out), with one (1) open frame.  The third game had some strikes, two (2) were in a row (a double), and two (2) open frames.

        Our team, FAG Bearing Center, won all the three (3) games against Team Atlas Consolidated Mining & Development


        Special prizes were given to those who scored the magic numbers.  Another special prizes were also given to the ladies who had a double and to the men who had a turkey (3 strikes in a row).  When I redeemed my prize for getting a turkey, the prizes had already run out.

        The games were slightly delayed due to the picture takings by team.

        There will be no games next Tuesday (July 3).

 

    Bowling terms used in this article:

            Frame - One of ten "innings" in a bowling game

            Open Frame - A frame in which the bowler doesn't get a strike or a spare.

            Strike - The knocking down all ten pins with the first ball.

            Spare - Knocking all the pins with two balls.

            Four-bagger - Four consecutive strikes.

            Turkey (or Triple) - Three consecutive strikes

            Double - Two consecutive strikes

            Punch out - To finish with consecutive strikes, from any frame on.

Hmm…let me add more terms…just to lighten up more…

driver - one who “drives” the ball in between left and right remaining pins.

pocket - a hit about 2/3 the right side of the king pin if your right-handed or 2/3 the left side of the king pin if you’re left handed.

(I forgot the term used if you hit the opposite side of the kingpin instead.)

lofting - when you hit the lane with the ball ‘falling’ instead of gliding…

You had a very good set of scores. It’s with people who score with such averagely that I honed my skills with….wayback 18 years ago…

So you also play on Tuesdays…
