From Agony to ????????

Last week was definitely a re-learning experience. As much as I work and practice on Long Island, it is virtually impossible for a pro bowler to experience and be prepared for the tour patterns, transition and necessary adjustments we have on tour.(which is one of the reasons I am so impressed by Mike Fagan, and his ability to compete on the "kids" tour).
I had an extremely disappointing week, finishing tied for 105th out of a field of 119. On a positive note, I didn't quit......and I used the 2nd block as a real learning experience......lots of experimentation.

I left Hammond for Decatur on Tuesday with a committment to work on the necessary elements missing from my game.........bowled approximately 45 games between Tues and Friday. Official practice session for the tournament was this afternoon......it all came together! I see it continuing to come together tomorrow afternoon/evening in the tournament proper. Its simply a matter of practicing what I teach......Less is More.
More to follow after the first block......thinking and feeling positive thoughts!
PS.....Jeanine and Craig are having a GIRL!!!!!!!!!!What Great News!
