VERY SUCKY!

  In 1982, when I first started league bowling, I averaged 107 after my first season.  Bowling was different then.  Balls were weaker, lanes were drier, and technique meant so much more.  It took longer to learn the game/sport because there was so much more to master.

  It took me several years to finally reach the 200 average level.

To clarify my main aim when I do bowl is to keep my head steady stay balanced and keep my swing in line and release it the right way.
I'm not quite at 1 year yet I am at 10 months but so far i have:
-a 200 game (215)
-a 161 average
-about to start bowling on sport conditions (hopefully)
-know my PAP (i'm so proud lol )
-well respected among my league.
-came close to 200 many many many times.
-top in 2nd division in jr league
-can change my rev rate massively
-can change my axis rotation with ease

I think I was 5, and still bowling bumpers.

After the first year non bumpers I was averaging around 95, had a high game of 130, just moved to Michigan and getting ready for 4th grade.

157 seven years ago for about half a season.

After that I went up to a 175 and have followed that up with 197, 198, 204, 207, and 208 this year.

I was 5 years old, the youngest kid bowling in the saturday morning YABA league and all of my other teammates were either 8,9 or 10 years old.   I was averaging 109 and reprsententing my house, Fairlanes of Grandville in the Michigan State YABA Coca-Cola Tournament.  

I was put in the YABA league quite young, because the Jr. bowling coach of the YABA league saw me bowling in the bumper bowling league at age 4, and said I had a rare talent.  He told my parents I was the only kid around my age actually putting my thumb and fingers in the house ball and taking some assemblence of an approach where as all the other kids seemed to be granny bowling at the foul line.  Blast, that bowling coach, now bowling is like a drug addiction, and I've been sucked in for the last 21 years, but hey at least I can bowl somewhat decent now, plenty of 300 games, a few 800's, and even a sanctioned 299 on the Viper, one 290 on the Scorpion and two 290's on the shark in tournament competition.

Bowl.com sure doesn't go back that far.  Perhaps your local association kept good records from 33 years ago?
