My first honor score
« on: March 18, 2009, 10:13:44 PM »
299 last last night.
AMF Code (RICO layout) playing 18 to 8.
First 11 consisted of 2 light mixers and 9 flush.
Last ball rolled up flush, but hit a little flat. As the ball entered the pocket, I expected a 10-pin, but left a 7-pin instead.
Still working on that elusive 300!

The adrenalin got to me after the first game. I shot 224 and a whopping 180 for 703

Way to go, Jon! After watching you bowl at The Gathering, you couldn't have convinced me you didn't already have a half-dozen or more honor scores. You'll surely get your 300 soon.

Thanks Jess.
You have no idea how many times I've been told the same thing
Seriously though...I take it as a compliment.

Now that confidence is riding high, I will try to take advantage.

Thanks to all who have commented!

Congrats on that honor score.  Hope you get that 300 soon.  I must say I'm probably lucky to have gotten my 300 on my first try after the front 11.  I imagine it's gotta be somewhat mentally tough to get 300 after a 299 or something really close like that.

Props, Jon!  Next time it's in the bag!  I look forward to that announcement.

Tell the Mrs. I said hi, btw.

Congrats Jon. You've been close many times previous. It won't be long now before you get all 12 strikes. I would expect it to happen by the end of March!

Joe, THANK YOU for the kind words.
With all of games you put in, the pins should just give up for you!
You, my friend, are a bowling machine!!!
