On
Tour with Brian Voss
Greater Omaha Classic - Council Bluffs,
IA (Nov. 9 - 13, 2005 )
This was a very high scoring week. There was plenty of hook for everyone,
as all types of players bowled good. I used the R47's shined up a
bit, and drilled two different ways. One weak, and one strong. I was
throwing the ball pretty hard because of the amount of friction, which
brought me back to my days in the army when there wasn't much oil
a lot of times. I had two solid blocks, and was pretty sharp on my
spares. I was match up against Dave Traber, who had been blistering
the squads the first 3 games after the fresh oil. He struck pretty
much at will the first 3 games, but then he started to lose his shot.
Instead of playing hard and straight like I had all week, and having
36 in the third frame the 4th game, I decided to move left of him
with a shined up Cheetah and go around the boards. I struck the next
6 shots to get back into the match, and ended up winning that game.
In the 5th game, I bowled a really good game and needed a strike in
the 10th frame to win, and threw a great shot but left a solid 7.
It was disappointing because I had a good feel at that time, and he
was losing his shot. Such is life, but I'll build on it going into
the Masters.
