Today at the Va State Bowling Tournament, my daughter had games of 242, 159 and 256 to shoot 657, with an entering average of mid 160s

Some of you who are bowlers might see this as someone who "sandbags"but she only bowls once a week in a small church league with very inconsistent lane conditions, so it is just a case of having a lane condition which suited her style.

I was very proud of her.( even though she insists on calling my kilts skirts) She is 29 now, and has been bowling since she was 6. Today was the highest set she has ever had.

If she didn't have my problem of waiting too late to adjust to changing conditions (second game), she might have shot her first 700 series. I guess I can take some of the blame for that as I was one of her early coaches.
