Hey Marsh,
I agree with Jayson, don't put yourself down little fella
No one in bowling was born a good bowler - they all had to work at it, like you will if you want to achieve great things, my advice to you would be to get in and have a few games with some of the good junior bowlers in the centre and watch what they do.
While your there watch some of the adult players and see how they operate, don't watch me - or more to the point, my temper.
Set yourself a couple of attainable goals for example 150-160-170-180+ and so on and try and concentrate on making your spares - you won't believe how much your average will pick up in a short space of time following this simple piece of logic.
Personally, I use the spareshooting idea to keep me going through matches when I'm struggling until I can find a line to the pocket - and carry
Just start with the basics and work your way up from there.
Above all - enjoy the game
I hope it helps you a little.
Also too, Stacey Dare was a player I watched bowl for a little while recently and I agree with an earlier posting regarding her as player of the future.
