This past weekend I competed in the WWPB Mixed Doubles event at Mission Hills, CA with my partner Scott Norton. As defending champions of the event, we were not only there to defend our title, but also to support a dear friend of ours. My team and the team of Drew Parkin and Virginia Norton all wore special shirts for the event to show our support and love for our dear friend that is currently going through Breast Cancer. Scott and I wore "Team Strength" on the front of our shirts, as Virginia and Drew wore "Team Hope."
In the event, Scott and I qualified in 8th place after the 9 games of qualifying with +505 overall. My partner and I's qualifying scores were pretty even with Scott shooting +262 and myself shooting +243 for the 9 games.
Needless to say, the lanes weren't too hard. Score were high and it became more of a carry fest. It took +476 to make the top 12 cut to match play.
The next day, we bowled 12 games of round robin match play with each individual winner receiving 10 bonus pins and an extra 30 bonus pins for the team win. So 50 bonus pins total were up for grabs each match, making it extremely important to win as many matches as possible.
We did just so-so in match play, breaking even with a matchplay record of 6-6 for team wins. We did however bowl a HUGE last game, shooting 545 (I shot 267 and Scott shot 278), which moved us up into 6th place overall in the tournament.
Although we didn't successfully defend our title, we did however show support for our friend and I personally managed to bowl 21 games in two days without my leg bothering me. So things are looking up...
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
