Better with age...
« on: January 26, 2011, 02:06:57 AM »
I don't post often but was bursting with pride...
 
Now my dad is no slouch when it comes to bowling and I have been very fortunate to have a father that taught me to love a game that I can enjoy throughout my entire life...for that I owe him a thanks.  Now he has had his ups and downs with more ups than downs usually (3 perfect games last years and more 700's than Carter has pills)  He carries a respectable in 200+ average in several leagues in different houses locally.  So last night as he is subbing on another team in our league (his night off)...he decides to post his highest score to date and what I believe to be our associations highest series this year....300, 290, 257 for an 847 Series....WAY TO GO DAD!!!  Thats his personal best and 5th career 300 game. Not bad for a 63 year old guy with a 41 year old son eh?

Congrats to your dad !  For what it's worth-----I'm a better bowler at age 50 than I was at 35.

Congratulations are due your Dad for his achievement, and to you, kudos for being such a good son--I'm sure your Dad is very proud of the way you've turned out as a man.

That is fantastic bowling.  That is excellent at any age, let alone 63.
