My wife Chris and I had our once a month bowling league last night. Of the four of us, who included my brother-in-law and sister-in-law, only John (brother-in-law) bowled well. And he was smashed before we even began. He had been watching the wildcard game at a friends house and had been drinking a few.
Chris was in pain. She had taken a nasty spill on our stairs during our New Year's Eve party and she's got the bruises to show for it. She has also been suffering from pain in her hip. She's really going to have to see the doctor I think. Her bowling really suffered from her pain.
Theresa (sister-in-law) was not bowling her usual either but I'm not sure why. I know she wasn't too happy. And then there was me. I bowled in the 140's and 150's but when I was warming up I was bowling strike after strike. Then as we got into our bowling, I get weaker and weaker, and then my arm starts throwing all over the place.
I was lifting weights a couple of years ago and I found that doing this, but abstaining from weight lifting on bowling days worked out pretty well. But even better than that, practicing twice a week seemed to help improve my game significantly. I haven't done that in about 10 years but maybe I need to take it up again.
As always, practice at anything does improve how you do at it.
