So, yesterday's Northwest Missouri Senior Bowlers Tour event started bad, spare shooting was bad, but striking was good, and I clawed my way up the leaderboard to qualify. Today started really good, and despite missing my first 10 Pin, I made a tweak and converted 8 of the last 8 I left. I was inside the cash line after ever game but 1, the last one. A split in the first and a chop in the 3rd started the last game poorly, and a couple rip 10's cost me, and a 201 dropped me all the way to 22nd, 20 pins short of the last cash spot.

I used the Brunswick Bowling Strategy again today for the first 6 games. After the two early opens the last game, I switched to the Infinity Quest Pearl which looked great. Thanks as always to Brunswick, Vise Inserts, friends, family, and most of all my wife. And thanks to Mike Peck and Alan K. Shovan for riding down and lodging with me.

While it wasn't the ending I wanted, I was happy to see me grind thru spare struggles and figure some stuff out. More practice to come before the Nebraska Masters in a few weeks.

Day 2 at the Northwest Missouri Senior Bowlers Tour stop at Sterling Bowl in Sugar Creek begins with a stop at Waffle House. 7 games of qualifying again, but today is a house shot. Hopefully lots of strikes again, but much better spare shooting today.

The worst spare shooting ever combined with more 5 counts than I have EVER had couldn't stop me from making the cut to the 16-person bracket at the Northwest Missouri Senior Bowlers Tour event today. I had a slow start but got it going. I threw a lot of strikes, thankfully. Unfortunately I lost to Dustin Collins in the first round. And why you ask? I started with a 5-count greek church, then threw another in the 9th. Still cashed, but I gotta get this spare game cleaned up.

Brunswick Bowling Strategy and Infinity Quest Pearl did the work today. Tomorrow is the regular singles on a house shot. Hopefully I do better.

Getting ready for the first "Elite" singles as part of the Northwest Missouri Senior Bowlers Tour here at Sterling Bowl in Sugar Creek, MO. 7 games on Beaten Path. Rode down with Mike Peck and Alan K. Shovan. Hopefully my league woes disappear today.

A lot of great new options. Need a solid in a line that has been a hit with every release? The Great One fits. The return of the most beloved tour ball, the Obsession Tour, but in the form of a Zero Mercy? Yes, Please. The Zero Mercy Solid is arguably the most versatile ball I've ever owned, and I only didn't own the pearl because I already had equipment that filled that spot. But a new Zero Mercy Hybrid? Perfect. How about a symmetrical pearl that is middle of the road in RG and Diff, which makes for a great benchmark ball? The Turbo X pearl fits that. Finally a spare ball with a core? BWSpare+. You might not need them all, but chances are you have a hole in the bag somewhere, and these give you great options to consider!

1 game. When you compete at a high level, you can't afford to have those bad games. The shot wasn't easy at the PBA50 Midwest event yesterday at Sun Valley Lanes & Games (the nicest center I've ever bowled in), but the shot was there. I had 5 okay games to start, okay enough to keep me in the cut until game 6. That game I couldn't find the line, I missed 2 ten pins which can't happen, plus a split. I had at least 1 split EVERY game which also kept the okay games from being good games. I can't blame anything or anyone but me. I am just not quite as sharp as I know I can be.

-23 on the day with - 42 in one game isn't the worst thing. I was 46 out of the cut, so that tells you how important every split and every missed makeable is. I honestly felt pretty good with how I threw it yesterday overall, but the bad ones snuck in there.

I will say that the new Hammer Fallout is a pretty awesome ball. I also threw the Brunswick Bowling Hypnotize for a bit, and the Hammer Effect Tour a little. Also so happy with having Vise Inserts interchangeable thumbs which is necessary in long formats.

Special congrats to Heather Erdei for her win in the PBA Women's portion. That was quite an exciting finish. And Kristen Verner for the 300 in the final game of match play. We had several local qualifiers on the "kids" tour, so congrats to all of them. John Marsala took home the win for the old guys. So much fun competing with a mix of big time PBA names, local friends, and a great showing of Northwest Missouri Senior Bowlers Tour guys.

Not sure what the future of the PBA regionals will look like for the seniors. Was this the last one? We will wait and see. Thanks to Toby Contreras for everything you do and John Losito for hosting. And as always, thanks to my wife, family, and friends for all the support. And thanks to Cody Swanson for hanging out and doing some filming. Next up, weekly leagues and then the next NWMOSBT event in mid September.

LET'S GOOOOOOO!!!!! This is the reaction of a kid who just realized he won his PBA Jr. event in Wichita. His attitude and work ethic are like no other!!!! Always cheers on opponents. Makes friends with everyone. Doesn't get too down when struggling and works to figure it out. He is humble in victory and gracious in defeat. Could not be more proud of him!

Meeting people who recognize us in the wild is surreal. Just this past weekend we met probably 5 fans of the channel. Some of these fans have hair, while others do it right. 😂

I told my wife I would never want to be Hollywood famous, but bowling famous is kinda cool. Thank you to ALL of our fans who watch, comment, and come up to say hi when they see us in person. We appreciate you.
