Well I have bowled twice now and still my highest score is only 37 over. I've just got back to the hotel, I played so much better tonight than yesterday and only scored 20 pins more! Its a funny game, I had a few carry issues yet again, its becoming like a broken record the last few tournaments - Lots of 9's and not enough strikes!
The short pattern is playing very tight. I've never seen a short pattern with so little bounce off the gutter. There is a big out of bounds if you get the ball to the right its just sails on by, but as the pattern is only 33ft if you miss in the ball just hooks. This is giving everyone problems and the short is the pattern that everyone is having trouble with. The long pattern is playing quite open and although it is 46ft in length it is quite easy to hook the ball.
There have been a few good scores over the last few days. There are plenty of Brits inside the cut. The highest being Nicki Ainge who is currently sitting pretty in 2nd place. I'm feeling confident I can sort myself out tomorrow as I found a better ball reaction today.
I bowl at 10am in the morning so I'd better get to sleep now!
