The Columbia Tournament is handicap. I wasnt going to bowl, but I might if you show up, if you bowl 3 squads you get a free Power Drive!

I thought you were talking about the open at Bandera. I read the flyer tonight and thought it was scratch.
Dude, I can't bowl in it, because if I make the roll off which is usually sunday night, I have to go to work.
I don't bowl in tournaments anymore, why?
Because if its handicapped, I usually make the cut and then bowl against some chick that gets 30 pins and she bowls a 220 scratch.

SequSpur showing his athleticism.
Funny.......
Bring yo asses to the alley then.....
Kevin,
You are the clueless one. It may be the one thing you're good at, but just about anybody could be good at it. Probably a lot of physically handicapped people could be great bowlers if they could just hold a ball and toss it. I suck at bowling, but you let me practice an hour a day for a week and I'll be right there with you averaging low 200s. Another thing is there's no athleticism. Ever look at the athletes around you? Maybe they have 1 strong forearm. 90% of the guys on this forum have 1 strong forearm.
Annnyyybody can be good at bowling. You can try to make it as variable as you want, but in your heart you know when someone comes up and puts up a 250 off the streets, your heart sinks a little because you want it to be difficult. Being compe ive has nothing to do with whether something is a sport. I'm pretty confident I could average 180 by the end of a 2 hour practice session.
Bowling is akin to knitting, crochet, cross word puzzles, etc.
It's not even in the same league as fantasy football.
where?
when?
how much?
I never said it was athletic...........
Try bowling for a grand and need a couple of strikes in the tenth to win, or needing to pick up a ten pin to move on.......
Never know it until you try it.
Kris, I have to disagree with you there. Practice all you want and you wont be as good as me.
Or Sequ.
I never said it was athletic. You really think you could pick up a bowling ball and start averaging a deuce?????? LMFAO.
I seriously doubt it.
Bro, I am not an allstar, and I am quite sure Keda is 10 times the bowler I am, but dude you have no clue about compe ive bowling. Zero.
Try bowling nationals, try bowling tournaments where every other frame the condition is completely changed.
Oh, you're the type that can pound the pitchers and bowl better like Rome says.
I would like to see most of you come out and average 130. I seriously doubt that you could.
Oh yeah, you could bowl a 275 drunk. But what could you average over a 9 month season??????????? a 100? That seems more realistic.
hey Nationals is in Corpus this year, thank God for the short drive!
we should put together a spurstalk team
Sequ
Keda
Crazyone
just need 2 more.
We've had bowling GTG's where quite a few people bowled over 120 with ease. So that 130 is probably a little low. When I was little, my sister bowled 180 when she was 11.
sequ, we need to go practice at 1000 Oaks, I have a bazillion free game passes!
Actually a 130 is averaging a spare about every other frame, that seems realistic.
A 200 average is averaging at least 5 strikes a game, again, people get lucky, but over a course of a season, the average bowler is about 130. That is in line with your drunken recreational league. You may have one or two bowlers that average 190 and above.
There are a handful of leagues here in SA that draw bowlers with 210+ averages. People that have been serious about it for years, not just your I think I am going to show Kevin how easy it is bowlers like Kris.
lets see I have been in bowling centers oh since I was about 10
my father ran one, I have worked at one, and I NEVER , EVER have seen anyone just walk in off the street and shoot 210, much less 250.
Im sure its been done, but never have I seen it.
I absolutley hate it when people say I shot a 275, do you even know how hard it is to shoot 275?
its easier to shoot 279, or 280, then it is to shoot 275, you have to get a total of 5 on the first ball and then go off the sheet to shoot a 275, I dont know about anyone else in the room, but if I get 5 on the first ball, I usually dont follow up with an 11 bagger.
Here is an example of my match tonight.
Dude gets 40 pins a game, I get 20.
He bowls a 230 the first game, I bowled a 180, I get ing killed.
Second game, he bowls a 150, I bowl a 195, I win.
Third game, he bowls a 170, I bowl a 225, I win.
This dude has been bowling for a long time, but dude doesn't average 200. , I don't even average 200 anymore. Again, bowling with the lights out and wearing your black light special tshirt and shoelaces doesn't make you a bowler, I don't give a how much you practice.
Well, my sister bowled a 274 in her league.
She's a chain smoker and downs about a 12 pack a day.
Her average is 168.
Does this support of refute the sport contention?
WERD!
I think we need to have a bowling GTG to find out who can play and who cant!
I don't bowl at all. We're talking 20 times in my lifetime. I'll go out tommorow. Give me 3 games and I'll average 150 no problem.
You're right I don't know about the janitors that clean the isles or what flavor jelly is in the flavor of your ball, but you get anybody into anything too much and they'll tell you what you're telling me.
You or Keda, I don't care, you're just too very unathletic guys that couldn't hold your own in a walking contest blowing smoke about bowling. I go out to one of your little hill country lane places and you might choke playing under the pressure of playing an amateur. I can put up 180 no problem. Just bowl down the center of the lane.
I will PAY for your shoes and lanes at 1000 Oaks tomorrow, name the time, Im off tomorrow. If you average 150 for the 3 games, or can beat me 1 time I will give you 100 dollars at the GTG tomorrow night.
If you dont average 150 all you have to do is apologize to me on this message board.
deal?
