A friendly match between friends

so for my video production class we have been making videos all semester long. in this video my two friends bowled in whats called a high ball match. you bowl to try and get a higher one ball score in a race to 20 points and this is how it went down.

Seeing the Silver Linning

So this past weekend the bowling team was in Davis, CA. Now some people would saying averaging 194 for a tournament is really good. You would think the bowling team would think but... the biggest problem we faced as a team was we were bowling good. The teams we bowled for some odd reason just seemed to out bowl us every time. We had the third highest averaged out of the ten teams there but managed to only come out of the first tournament of the weekend in sixth place. This is was the third and fourth tournaments we have bowled and it has been the same way at every weekend we have bowled. On the plus side this is the best team i have bowled on at Weber state in my four years of bowling for the school and we have all been working really well as a team. So all that is left to do is crumple up this past weekend throw it out and move on to the next one in Camarillo, CA in a week and hope our luck changes.

The long drive home

So the tournament got over on Sunday after a long two days of bowling. We bowled well as a team but just couldn't place high in the field at all. We started the drive home at 5pm California time and after two and a half hours of driving we decided to stop in Reno to get some sleep. We woke at 7am Reno time and started our drive home, after a long long long drive back that seemed to never end we made it home at 5pm. So after leaving for Davis, CA at 7am UT time i finally made it home at 10pm on Monday that makes for a REALLY! long weekend

Bowling tips 2

So now that you have the approach down its time for the newt step. the one everyone wants to know how to do..... CURVE! thats right im gonna teach you guys how to put spin on the ball, but first you must practice everything that i taught you in the last post because you need to learn to walk before you can run. so now you need to find a bowling ball that your fingers only go into the first knuckle and your thumb fits nice and snug. not to tight but not too loose or else you will drop it behind you or it will get stuck and you will fly down the lane with it. next as you are releasing the ball you need to make sure to squeeze your fingers almost like squeezing a stress ball.



Thats it for now. there wont be a post about how to bowl for two weeks this weekend i will be in davis, CA for a bowling tourney and i will update you on how that goes as i bowl
