To me the 300 isn't as special anymore, especially because you can shoot one and it's old news sometimes even just later that night.  800 is hard no matter what, so those I still appreciate.  However, I'm more into winning.  I had the front 9 the other night, left a stone 8.  What was I happy about?  279 got me into all the finals of all the brackets I was in.  Instead of worrying about getting "screwed," I kept my head in it and consequently won all my bracket finals.  The end result was that 300 instead of 279 would have changed absolutely nothing.  Already have my ring for the year, would have gotten through the brackets, would have won my points, would have won the team game, everything.  300 would have been fun, but realistically there would have been zero difference otherwise.
