Monte Carlo

Monte Carlo Pins at Paddock Bowl

Sharon and I met Kris & Chris Kiiskinen at Paddock Bowl tonight to play their Monte Carlo game. Kate was in charge tonight which is always good for some extra games on the side and a lot more fun. None of us won any big money but each of us hit a few small winners. Dave, on the lanes next to us, hit the dollar strike pot which I think was good for $240+.

Paddock Bowl hosted a six-game tournament in the afternoon and it seems the lanes weren't dressed after the tournament's conclusion. They were as dry as the Mojave Desert. At one point, Sharon resorted to shooting for strikes with the Columbia White Dot (plastic ball) she normally uses to pick up the 6 or 10 pin. I struggled early but after switching to my Black Widow Pearl, I scored games of 219 and 226. Chris came close to breaking 200 with a 196 (or was it 198?) score in the final game.

Even though we didn't score any big winners, the three games and the "bowling for dollars" action were a lot of fun.
