It was kind of odd but I ended up watching a half hour long short drama film that was an ad stuck on the end of a Youtube video. It had been shot on an iPhone 16.

First game of bowling today was around 145. Next game, a little over 170, and the third I hit 203. I experimented a bit trying to add more speed to the ball and using a longer slide with my left foot in the fourth game. Didn't work that well (and I missed a handful of spare conversions)...score was 99. 😂
