Most leagues have completed their 2007-2008 season so this will be my last weekly column for the season. The annual awards banquet will be held at the Cresaptown Eagles this weekend, and the annual meeting will be on May 20 at White Oak Lanes.
Summer leagues are being formed and many bowlers find that the summer is a good time to work on some of problem areas in their game.
I believe that spare shooting is the biggest problem for most bowlers. Bowling in the PBA Experience League has shown me and others that accuracy is very important and throwing a straight ball at spares is much preferred. When you throw a hooking ball at a spare target on a line that you have not played for several frames, you will probably miss your target because of the changing oil pattern that has been broken down by other bowlers.
Good luck bowling and have fun striking out!
