bowl a 300 game

This is one goal that I know in my heart I will accomplish someday. If not very soon. I get so close all the time… it’s just a matter of time!

Maybe learning a few trickshots would be just as satisfying? How cool would it be to nail the Flying Eagle?!? Although when would I get the opportunity to practice?

Hmm, on second thought… this is risky objective in that it could require a great deal of time and money – like waiting to be dealt a flush or trying to befriend an exotic dancer.

This past weekend I finally bowled a 300. The best part was it was in the NC State tournament. I had a 790 series 300, 258, 232.

... and was quite shaky both times stepping up into the 9th frame. I could only imagine how it must feel when in the 12th frame.

Tonight I bowled a 720 series, bowling a 245, 241, 234. The irony being that it was “sweeps” night where with a $15 entry fee the high handicap series takes home the pot. I wasn’t feeling very lucky so I didn’t enter, but would have won. Also noteworthy is that this 720 was on the same 2 lanes that my previous best 719 was on.

Another life goal. I enjoy rolling a heavy ball at 10 stationary pins and watching them explode. Maybe one day I can get good enough to score a perfect 300.

The best that I have been able to get is a 296 about 5 years ago. This season I almost made it again but finnished with a 289.

last night in my second game i bowled the perfect 300. it was the first at the bowling alley in gaffney sc. i was got 500 dollars, they ordered one of those rings, and free games for life. i was excited when friday i posted a 298 i knew it could done that was my 4th 298 game. i average in the 240-250 range. i am 20 years old and just statred to bowl regulary the past 7 months.

i started bowling when the league started up after i moved to belgium from the states after PCSing. at the time i averaged a sad 85 or so, i didnt really bowl that often, but i geuss because i started when i was around 13 it was easier for me to get good at it quick. some of my friends from school had tought me how to curve the ball, then eventually i started usin 3 fingers, and got my own ball, roto grip neptune. now a year and about 4 months later ive rolled my first 300 game =D. it happend december 1st 2007, so yea pretty recent. like most people have said it is pretty intense for just bowling lol, but it sure does feel good. it will b even better when i get my ring for it haha. but yea, this past saturday, one before dec 1st, i rolled my first 700 series also. i average right now about 215, 220, i think, im not completly sure. most times i average around 210 but ive been doin alittle better since we started league this year, and we have only bowled about 4 times so that too lol. good luck to all u who are still lookin for ur 300, and just focus on ur strike line =D
