Well first night of winter league on Wed. team captain pulled envelope for lane 1 I hate bowling next to a wall and the edge of the lane kept feeling like I was going to fall off how ever as the night went on I got more comfortable and ended up improving my scores steadily through  out the night 21 pins and then 15 pins team wise we shot ok have to wait for handicaps to be put in to know for sure I think any team i'm on may be cursed first night of league cause for the 6 leagues I have bowled the last two years I have not had a whole team show up on opening night well I guess the proper way to put it is they all showed up but not everyone bowled kinda funny it also turns out that the low end of the houde is a little slicker and the oil doesn't get absorbed quite as quick but that could also be a factor of less traffic on the lanes 4 man team compared to a five man well in this case two three men teams  Oh well I guess will see how next week goes
