If you roll a "buzzard," what have you completed on the lanes? Answer at the end of the column.

The previous record was 199.9, set by Tony Betty. Ordy was averaging 207 entering the final month of the season.A year earlier, the great Ralph Henry averaged 200 in a doubles league.

This week's tip involves foot and hip position at the start of your approach. The ball of your nonsliding foot should be at the halfway point of your sliding foot when you line up on the approach. This should help you align your hips.Your nonbowling side hip should be slightly in front of the bowling-side hip. This will help to open your shoulders and project the ball to the right onto the lane.Today's scoring environment is created by drier boards on the outside of the lane. To project the ball out to the dry boards, a good starting position is necessary.

Just as "turkey" is the phrase for three strikes in a row, "buzzard" is for three open frames in a row.
