Ariel and I shot in the PBA Pro/Am yesterday at AMF Babylon Lanes. It’s not really a cutthroat tournament, but more for fun. You bowl with six pros over three games and it’s a pretty relaxed atmosphere.
I started off well with a 263 and a 256. However my strike line seemed to wander away to nearby Bay Shore Lanes midway through the third game, never to return, and a couple of late-frame crappy splits left me with a 171 for the third game. Ariel, meantime, started slow with a 174, but then rebounded with a 193 and finished with a resounding 210. Several of the pros commented to me about the quality of her technique, including top-ranked female bowler Kelly Kulick, who is Ariel’s bowling idol. Overall Team David was more than satisfied with the outing.
Kathleen and I will be attending the ESPN finals today at 1:00 PM EST. We’ll be seated somewhere behind the bowlers (as opposed to the sides). I’ll be wearing a red PBA shirt. Don’t look for a guy with a full beard since I shaved most of it recently and just have a long mustache now. Or just look for someone seated next to Kathleen. Odds are 50/50 that’s me.
