107

I joined a bowling league today through Partners in Medicine. So I'll be bowling 3 games every Wednesday morning. Today was the first games, and I think I was a little rusty. First game I had a 98, second game 135, and the wheels really fell of on the 3rd game...I was in the 80's I think. Anyway my average was 107, everybody was talking about handicaps, but I didn't really get what they were saying, something about subtracting something from 215? Anyway, I figured I would just show up and bowl! And the good news was my team were all about the same as me, so it wasn't like I was the weakest link or anything. I think we bowled against another team...but I don't know if we won or lost.

The best part is they have daycare for the kids, so I got to pawn them off for a little while. And the bowling ally was smoke free, and everybody seemed pretty nice. I think they all may be doctors, spouses of doctors, or have some other connection to the medical community. It was fun, can't wait till next week!

It's always better to score on low side when starting. I always seemed to score high when starting
and it was hard to keep up the average. Enjoy! When I bowled it was so smokey.

it has always been my dream to be in a bowling league. and just today me and my friend were talking about actually doing it. we're in it for the ugly matching team shirts we'd get. it will be awesome.

good luck.

The handicap depends on the league. One I was in had the calculation of:

(210 - avg) * .85

That number would be added to each game the next week.
