I can not beleive it.

I was using a Mass Chaos (that I had just put some of Doc's Magic Elixer on about 1 week ago)!

I'm very thankful to God for this!!! He gets all the Praise and Glory for my success!!!

My previous high was 765 about 8 months ago.

My games were 264, 268, & 268.

I really never thought I would do it. Even though I've only been bowling for a little over 2 years and I've really learned a TON OF STUFF from this place... and one of my closest friends that took me under his wing and taught me the game!!!

What was really nerve racking was having to make the 2-8 spare just to shoot 800 on the nose! Because if I would have chopped one of the pins, I'd have only shot 799!

I know you all have probably seen a BUNCH of my posts lately in the last couple of months in the forumns, and some of you are probably getting tired of me asking so many questions... and I bet some of you have probably said,"I wish Ric Clint would just get a life",... LOL - but hey, I'm just wanting to learn as much as I can and be the best I can!

Thanks to Doc for the Elixer!

I've shot 4 300's in practice and I never thought that I would ever shoot a 300 in LEAGUE. And now, I come up and shoot an 800 in LEAGUE "before" I ever shot a 300 in league. Talk about being backwards? LOL.


Thanks to all of you for answering all of my posts over and over agian - SERIOUSLY!!!

I have a friend 25 years bowling.  A couple of regional titles.

He has no sanctioned 800s.  A couple in unsanctioned tournaments and on the tour!

Conditions must be different some places, an 869 would get noticed in our 3 county area of just under 5,000,000 people!

To accomplish an 800 in two years time WOW!
869  Wow!

The record was what 882 or 883 for only like 100 years!

REgards,

You know what I find funny? If you remember a while back on THIS SAME THREAD that I'm posting on right now (read all the replies to find it, his NEW name is Superman), a guy that was named 300shooter was cutting me down for my 800 and saying that he shot 868 and all that crap? Well, he's changed his name to Superman.

And not only that, he told me the following when I shot mt 800 (it's all right here on this same thread)...

"800's are a dime a dozen anymore. I shot 299-269-300 last night in our scratch summer classic league. 868 and I didn't even get excited. I felt like I cheated because the lanes were so soft."


But yet, his profile says the following (as long as he hasn't changed it after reading this)...

"never had a 300 game, highest average ever 202. did have a 290 (11 in a row) last year, with the last 11 in a row."


So what's the deal? I thought he said that he'd never shot a 300? But as you can see, his 868 included a 300! Why cut me down for my 800, when he's never even came close?


Check out this very thread/post for proof... It's on the 1st page!


What a chidish thing to do, Mr. Superman!!!

Great Job guys!!  
Keep the good bowling up.
