We got up and bowled at Sunnybrook today. It played A LOT different than it did in practice. In practice, there was a lot more room and there was a shot from the outside. The only people I could see scoring from outside had a lot lower ball speed than me and they didn't do a lot to the ball. After fumbling trying to make that line work for four games, along with MANY missed spares, I move inside to a more direct shot and my scores were markedly better. I ended up shooting 948, but with all the spares I missed, it could have easily been 1050 or 1100. I crossed with Adam Martinez, who some may recognize as the winner of last year's Jr Gold tournament, and as it turns out, he only uses two bowling balls. He is probably one of the nicest bowlers I have ever had the pleasure of crossing with
After bowling, we went to Panera for lunch and headed back to the hotel. A lot of the parents and kids took a nap following or in place of lunch. A few of us walked over to the pool hall next door and played a few rounds. We then came back and ate "Michigan Tacos" from the hotel (hey, free food is free food).
We went to Dave & Buster's out by the side tournament we tried to bowl, and there was much rejoicing. We went, we played, we had fun, and we got prizes. Then we came back and waited for results to be posted.
