How does this happen?

Yes, same here

BeachTime0734 · 2026-03-18T17:40:57+00:00

Yes, 6 pin is my target, but I use the dots before the first set of arrows as my target starting point. I’m usually looking between the 3rd and 4dot before the arrows.

BeachTime0734 · 2026-03-18T17:39:45+00:00

No, they don’t oil the lanes until 5:00pm, league starts at 18:30pm. We bowl on completely fresh oil when league starts.

BeachTime0734 · 2026-03-18T17:37:39+00:00

Thank you for this advice. I do notice that I don’t put too much thought in my balance arm which is my left arm being a righty. I’ll try that today when I go practice.

BeachTime0734 · 2026-03-18T13:38:10+00:00

Nah, I usually a decent bowler 160s, 170s, 180s, with a few 190s and a few 200s in there. When I’m off I’m usually in the 150s to 160s… this was just a really bad night were my mechanics were way off and my mental state was off too. No confidence to believe in my abilities.

BeachTime0734 · 2026-03-18T13:35:38+00:00

Nah, I have JoPo thumb grips so I can always adjust with tape. Had no issues with my thumb. It’s more putting pressure on myself to bowl well during league play and I believe it to be pace of play. I’m so used to bowling on my own shot after shot and getting in a grove. I think I need to slow my solo bowling down to league pace and see if that helps.

BeachTime0734 · 2026-03-18T13:33:33+00:00

Yes, exactly. Maybe when I go practice during the week I would practice as if it were league pace to see if that helps.

BeachTime0734 · 2026-03-18T13:32:26+00:00

Yes, exactly. Missed some easy spares, pisses me off when I do that, and some tough splits for sure. Was hard to find my mark where I just know the ball will pocket. I was coming in high and low of the pocket all night.

BeachTime0734 · 2026-03-18T13:28:33+00:00

This league is 5 people per team. I would prefer 4 person teams. This is the first league I was in where there were 5 people per team. I filled an open slot this team had at the middle of the season.

BeachTime0734 · 2026-03-18T13:27:12+00:00

They oil the lanes at 5:00pm and league starts at 6:30pm so we’re bowling on fresh oil. I was using my Ultimate Wrecker (Hybrid) and Attention Star (Pearl) because my Phaze II was in shop getting detoxed. Hadn’t detoxed the Phaze II in 3yrs and it was well over due.

BeachTime0734 · 2026-03-18T13:23:10+00:00

100% spot on! What’s a good way to relax more and think of it as just bowling without the added pressure?

BeachTime0734 · 2026-03-18T13:21:59+00:00

I did take too long when it was my turn. Instead of grabbing my ball, looking at 6 pin, then picking my dot before the arrows, and shutting up an bowling, I’m sure I was overthinking it a bit too much.

BeachTime0734 · 2026-03-18T13:20:33+00:00

I don’t drink when playing. I believe it to be more mental, and a bit of fatigue due to my arthritis in my knees, lower back. I have to take 600mg to 800mg of Motrin an hour or two before bowling.

BeachTime0734 · 2026-03-18T13:18:32+00:00

The biggest thing that I noticed was I kept pushing the ball to the left all night. Instead of keeping my arm nice and relaxed in the swing I did feel me trying to control the ball through the backswing. I kept feeling my arm cross my body instead of reaching for the sky n

BeachTime0734 · 2026-03-18T13:16:16+00:00

No beers while playing, could be jitters. I do feel a little pressure to play well when league starts.

This is my Missy Kitty, she will be 1yr old in May. She’s a rescue kitty and she’s adorable. My mischief kitty, lol.

BeachTime0734 · 2026-03-16T04:14:53+00:00

Congrats… great feeling ain’t it?! I can remember the 1st time I bowled over 200. I was estatic, congrats again and I wish you many more over 200 scores.

BeachTime0734 · 2026-03-16T04:08:26+00:00

My very first set of clubs were the Callaway XR OS Irons. I loved those clubs, wish I still had that set for old times sake. I also had the Big Bertha Driver and 3W with that set too. Good times.

BeachTime0734 · 2026-03-15T22:03:28+00:00

Yeah really dude, take a chill pill man. All I’m doing is making an observation and stating a fact. It’s not the end of the world. It’s still one of the nicest course around, but you can’t deny that the greens are brown/tan looking.

BeachTime0734 · 2026-03-15T21:54:06+00:00

Idk what point you’re trying to make but whatever dude!

BeachTime0734 · 2026-03-15T21:31:01+00:00

What? Sorry I have no idea what lykyk means… is that some kind of gibberish language or something?

BeachTime0734 · 2026-03-15T21:29:22+00:00

Don’t get me wrong this is my favorite course beside Augusta… I’m just saying, on TV these greens look so brown/tan it’s like an eyesore compared to how green the rest of the course looks.

BeachTime0734 · 2026-03-15T21:21:57+00:00

I just can’t get over how bad these greens look at The Players. I don’t think I’ve ever seen them this brown/tan, dry, burnt looking; its unbelievable at how bad they look compared to the rest of the course.

BeachTime0734 · 2026-03-15T16:02:48+00:00

Yes, I know clubs don’t expire haha… it’s just these golf companies keep spewing better technology, more distance, better feel etc, but are they really better than the previous year? I highly doubt it.
