More than a newbie
After 35 plus years of the game I thought I had seen it all in "Leaves"
I took my 4 year old grand daughter bowling and because, throwing the ball is not an option just yet, we used the "ramp" and I was explaining about"angles......... in general terms.........to a 4 year old.
Down went the mighty 6lb ball into the left hand pocket, high but in the left side. Crash, pins went everywhere,.......well 4 of them. As the dust settled, the............7...8...9...10...,2...6 was still standing for a big four count.
"Thats a first" I said, "I have never seen that before."
Remembering about angles the grand daughter said " Lets get the angle right Pop, so we can spare it" the grand daughter said.
So we set the mighty ramp so the mighty 6 lb ball could go on its journey.
It spared the lot. The grand daughter was beside herself, I was amazed and the crowd, high "fived" her for the next ten minutes.
It was the tenth frame, why we had an extra go was another story.She made 111.
The things that happen when you havn't got a camera. Oh well.
