The 2020-21 bowling season was an interesting one. The IBM league didn't have enough players returning to comprise a full league, so as a result we had to go join the house league. At the beginning of the year, I was on the fence about playing, but I was invited by one of the IBM teams to be their 4th bowler in this new league, so I decided to give it a shot. Something last year just clicked for me. I don't know if it was the new competition, the fact that I was bowling on a team with other good bowlers, or the adjustment in my approach (stepping up closer to the lane and starting more boards to the left), but I ended up bowling my best season ever! I finished with a 206 average, which is simply incredibly considering in my 15+ years of bowling, I had never finished above a 193 average and had just come off a 189 season.
In case you're wondering what I look like when I bowl, I uploaded a bowling video to my YouTube, which I live streamed on Twitch: It was a fun season, but also a long one at 30 weeks. And while we came up short of winning the first half, I'm very proud of the improvement I've had with bowling. I'm gonna enjoy the offseason and hope to put together another 200+ season next year, since I've now set the bar for high expectations. :)
Hope everyone is doing well! On a side note, I finally got my 2nd vaccination (Pfizer) as well and I felt alright afterwards. The only side effect being a sore throat for about a week. See ya next month!
