personal interests sports bowling
I began bowling in middle school and would often stop by the alley on my way home. As I grew older, I only bowled on rare occasions.
In about 2009, after my rotor cup had virtually disintegrated from a lifetime of volleyball, I was searching for an "underhand" sport for fun, exercise and competition.
Lynn and I took up bowling in a night league once a week.
Because of my rotor cup injury, I throw a virtually straight ball with no hook.
I am continually trying to "up" my game, but it seems to have stalled out with an average of about 153.
My high game is only 238, but I still injoy the comradery and competition.
For several years now, Lynn and I have bowled in the Huntsman World Senior Games in St. George, Utah, and picked up a few medals.

A simple delivery.
One of the two teams I played on that won first place league honors, Toledo, Oregon.
(L to R) Don Overly, ?, Troy Stout, Lynn Chamberlin, Dave Chamberlin. Don is a Pearl Harbor survivor and over 90... still an excellent bowler.
The other team I won with was with my son, Ryan.
My best night in a long while, Holiday Lanes, Florence, Oregon, 2010.
I missed my all-time high score by 15 pins.
