I suck at Bowling!
I started bowling about three years ago. I play off and on, mostly with friends in the winter. We are the definition of casual bowling (we scream and jump on each other when we get strikes) and usually, we have a good time in the smoke infested bowling alley.
Entering my third season of bowling, I am starting to get frustrated. Never, in my years of playing, have I improved. Every once in while, I’ll experience a moment of greatness, and my score will soar above, say, the 110 mark. But normally, I’m a sub 100 bowler. And it drives me insane. I have no aim, no real strategy to speak of. Maybe that’s part of the problem. I just try to hit the side of the head pin.
I’m assured in my belief that one day, while waiting for my 10 pins to be set, something will click. I place it perfectly between the little marking that are supposed to guide me, and I’ll watch as the ball travels towards it destination it can’t avoid: a strike. And it’ll happen several times. And I’ll be happy.
