It’s been rough going for BowlingJoe on the lanes this year so far. My 2009-2010 league average is currently at 197. Down from a career-best 213 that I posted last year. There are probably a lot of reasons for this ranging from physical glitches in my release through the mental anguish that can snowball after weeks of not striking and missing easy spares.
While I’ve been trained to understand that correlation does not imply causation, I find it very interesting that my bowling average this year has dropped at roughly the same rate that pounds have dropped from my body. Is there something to this? And if there is, should I compromise my health and well being, gain 60 pounds and become the greatest bowler in the history of the sport?

Or, can you purposefully start throwing games to increase the rate of weight loss?
With a winning percentage of around 38% this year, I have no trouble believing that my opponents are thinking that's the case.
Oooh, I like Joe's idea to toss gutters to increase your weight loss! Fitness comes first in my world.
Now that your lower body is stronger from weight-training, try swing-squatting the ball through the knees (Sumo-style- is there any other way?) and use those powerful rhomboids to hurl it down the lane-add a trap shrug at the end, for effect.
After much thought, I have figured out how you can get rid of that overlapping lines problem, Joe. Change the units of your weight from pounds to something else, like kilos or even stones. Then your golf score will be much higher than your weight!
I'll consider your advice, Catherine. I'm sure it would attract attention at the next tournament I bowl in.
Pilla, I think you meant bowling instead of golf. At least I hope so : )
