My best moment was when I shot my first 300 game 2 years ago. It was at the bowling alley I grew up going to with my dad, and it was one of my first "money" leagues with my dad. Once I got up in the 10th, the WHOLE alley stopped to watch, it was something I can't really describe in words. I hit the first two in the 10th high flush, and the last one was brooklyn that carried
I was so nervous, but the place erupted. I doubt I'll ever have that many eyes on me again bowling, that many great bowling eyes, but I will never forget it.--------------------

Here there is a tight! First a couple years ago my team finished 3rd in the State.. It was great as I watched one of my teammate shot 290 and another throw the front 10. I didnt bowl that great but as a team we did great.
And then my 300(hopefully the first of many). I bowled a late league with 2 of my uncle and my grandfather. With non of them having a 300 it was a great feeling to have them all backing me as I tried to make it happen.

My best moment was seeing my father shoot his first 300 a couple months back at the age of 60. He was there for my first one, and it was great, but being there to see his was so much better.

I have a few 300's, tons of 700's, but only one 800. The moment was the eighth frame of the last game. I had already been adding things up and knew that if I carried in the eighth on a string, all I would need was count and spares to make it. When it carried, it was as if 10,000 pounds had been lifted off my shoulders. I can still see it in my mind as the ball hit the pins and they all went down. I spared the 9th and 10th, struck on the fill ball for 812.
No, the eighth frame didn't guarantee the 800, but without it, it would have been almost impossible to get there.

Last fall while bowling against a friend in our scratch league we both shot a 300 on the same game. The only time I can think of where I bowled 300 and didn't win my point because I had to split it.
I was happy for him and myself because we did something we may never do again, not the perfect game, but to have one and not win without handicap involved.

Another great moment was in a trio house league 2 years ago, when my team beat the house hacks (all premier league players, one of them even a national team player) through 4 games. A true red letter day, I will never forget those sour faces...

My first 300 was also memorable, because I was bowling in a scratch singles league with my dad on the same pair. The 12th shot was absolutely perfect off my hand, and the old man ran out on the approach to give me a big hug.

The second was my first 300 in 1977 bowling against Jimmy Carter (Don Carters son). I throw 3 great shots in the 10th, the whole bowling center was behind lanes 69/70 and I knew it the whole time. At least 50 people ran up on the approach to congratulate me. After the night was over, Jimmy called Don who walked in the center and both of them congratulated me. Jimmy asked how many that was and I said it was my first. He said that I looked so cool in the 10th we would have guessed it was my 10th. They offered to buy me a drink and I said that I was only 17... they laughed. I remember that my knees were physically shaking and I could hardly breath. LOL.. now some 100 300 games later (sanctioned and non sanctioned together) I do not even realize half the time that I have the front string and never get bothered it anymore.

Other than that, it would have to be a 300 I shot back in 2000 a week after a 6-month deployment, my first.
