Bowling Tourney – Week 5

        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 9^th 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).
