I recently bowled a tournament where we ended up bowling on a house pattern on wood lanes. As that tournament progressed, I was completely shocked how much people were complaining about bowling a house pattern... it's a damn house pattern people seriously.. Its not just you, who is bowling on that pattern you still have to bowl on the same stuff that everyone else does. Yes, its a high scoring pace but thats apart of the challenge is keeping up. YOU CAN'T CONTROL THE BAD BREAKS, BUT YOU CAN CONTROL YOUR EMOTIONS AND MENTALITY.
Here is some things that bothered me with that whole situation:
1.) we have bowled on house shots earlier in the season, with no outrage or complaining.
2.) its one thing to complain but to carry it over to the next day, is absolutely ridiculous.
If your so worried about complaining that your bowling on a house shot and worried about the scoring pace. are you gonna succeed? probably not. if you go out there and put your best 12 shots a game and deal with the breaks and not so lucky breaks, your probably going to be contending for a title. If your complaining or pissed off about bowling on house shots, where is your focus, where is your competitiveness, where is your passion, where is it? obviously somewhere in la la land if your worried about some stupid house shot..
You have to have an mentality where your gonna focus and make it seem like your not bowling on a house shot. The best bowlers out there don't worry about what they are bowling on, they go out there and play with the hand they are dealt. its not gonna be the last time you see a house shot at a tournament..
