Ray was in our Royal Pin office this afternoon before his bowling lesson at Woodland. So we decided to have my first lesson when I got off work today.
Again, I went to the bowling center front counter and got my rented shoes. Then walked the concourse to pick out my house balls. This time I moved up to a 10 and 12 lb. I went bowling with a friend last week and decided 8 is way too light if I want to knock any pins down.
Ray was finishing his first lesson with Billy, an experienced bowler that is wanting to improve his game and learn a few tricks. We had one hour before the leagues start their practice time.
I threw a couple frames while Ray watched my form. Right off, of course, he notices that I start on the wrong foot. Holy Cow, that's why I could never understand how people swept their back leg across. I never looked like the Pros in the bowling tournaments!
It was so fun to work with Ray. In just about 10 minutes into my bowling lesson I started to feel a lot more confident. Ray was proud of himself and me and smiled and laughed a lot. He is the kind of coach I like to work with. At least now I understand what I was doing wrong.
We had to cut the lesson a little short due to leagues coming in so we headed to the pro shop. I picked out a pair of shoes for my own. After all, I can't really blog for Royal Pin and continue to rent shoes.
Here's Ray with one of his free monthly group lessons.
