Took me years to get past the mental block of a good game!
If I bowled more than 40 or more pins over a game, I'd try to hard to repeat it. I hated having a great first game, those were my lowest series until I beat that block.
Got to share a funny story. Happened last summer.
I was bummed because I didn't get 11 in a row! Had my highest game ever!!! 275 or 278, can't remember exactly. I wanted that 11, around our house the guys have all sorts of plaques up. HIghest series ever, 657.
Got home, my son said I didn't want to say it around the other's but you pulled a ***** tonight.
Inside joke. This guy bowled his first 300 during summer leagues, rather than being excited, he complained the rest of the night about being tapped!!! Everyone thought that was terrible.
The next week, I went in MSS Cocky Attitude.
Bowled a 98 the first game!!!!!
Got humble and serious.
Second game I had a 120 in the fifth, did some messing up then whined I messed up my 230 games.
Son looks at me and says something like, well last week 275 wasn't good enough nothing pleases you mom!!

I wish I knew as much about bowling as my son.
He's not a bragger but mom sure loves to share his good times!
