Pin Pals live on at the Forest Hill AMF Bowling alley. Adam and Meaghan started off well by being late – retirement has been good to those two! Jen and Steve got off to a flyer due to some pretty spectacular outfits. Steve went low key in a second hand yet stylish tracksuit (that came with significant Harry High Pants potential) and Jen had her very own AMF bowling jacket. Moonah is back . . . .
Let’s not joke around – Ten Pin Bowling is the most demanding of the ten decathlon sports. It requires skill, ability, focus and the ability to high five. Adam had no reason for high fiving today . . . .
The first game was a walkover with Moonah taking the honours. No-one could catch her on a fabulous score of 125. Meaghan got a respectable 82 (just one ahead of the struggling Adam) and a fair way behind Stephen. The second game, Stephen was in the hunt for Moonah’s title and came out on top. Meaghan got a personal best of 100 with Adam trailing Moonah on 70 something.
Hard to say who was the best on ground for today. Stephen has to get an honourable mention for the high pants episode. Moonah gets a very honourable mention for having a new and super cool nickname. Meaghan gets the coveted most improved award and Adam gets the most tolerant award for now having to put up with Meaghan’s gloating (and insisting on being called King Pin whilst within the confines of the Denmark st residence). Quote of the day goes to our intellectually disabled friend in the next lane informing the most improved player that she missed after one of her many gutterballs. Thanks champ!!
Three down, seven to go with the most grueling event out of the way . . . . . . . . .

some will always doubt the authenticity of the "Moonah Landing" but for those of us who were there on that one day in a lifetime the Moonah mojo was very real and very powerful. It is both haunting and warm to realise that one jacket... one very special jacket can turn a stumbling nerd, that even disabled bowlers mock, into an unstoppable pin killer!
