Bowling and Golf

Last night we went bowling for work. Had another ripper game, pulling out a 170. One of my work mates, Jeff, suggested I join a league. Maybe I will Jeff, maybe I will. Nothing spectacular, but managed a decent ratio of strikes and spares.

Game 2 saw me move to a "competitive" match with 4 other workmates while the rest played "for fun". Jeff brought his A game and beat me comfortbaly. Getting 4 strikes in a row helps. After we had some delicious finger food and then birthday cake for Emily. Good night. There's talk me may move the work functions to more of a sporty theme and even branch out into tennis and golf. Good for me, unless I act like a jerk.

Just 8hrs after the bowling night I was back to the golf course. We had 6 rock up, so went into teams of 3. My team was me, Dean and Al. Al is pretty good, Dean and I not so much. I started poorly and was fearing a new "worst ever game". Luckily I steadied the ship mid-game, thanks largely to Al's tips. For the last 2 holes a guy called Richard joined us. He had an awesome driver worth about $400, which is probably higher than the cost of all of our sets of clubs. Richard was pretty good.

Late arvo Dean and I went golf shopping. Dean was after a putter, and was might impressed by the range and the ability to test them on a little indoor green set-up. He was going to buy a $200 one, then changed his mind. I purchased a new glove, new pencils and practice balls. I think they should all help my game (ok maybe not the pencils).
