Going for the Gold

By John Davis

JohnDavisCEOKegel_small.jpg When I say gold, I am not intending it means a medal. I use this term about a person intending to get the best or most out of some endeavor.

After each first throw, if it is not a strike, many either foul intentionally or push the reset to attain a full rack. So they can practice their first throw or should I say their strike shot. It puzzles me.
