The local house where I grew up bowling (and left this year due to the current manager) hasn't had a 300 game in about 9 years and I think the same amount of time for an 800. Last year the high series was a 701 and the high game was 279. Over the past three years I have the high series in this house at 717. 12 lane wood house, old Century 300 oil machine, back ends are rarely stripped, side wall action non-existent.
The house I current bowl in, too many 300's and 800's to count. 868 is the high this year, and I know many guys who've had multiple 300's alone this year.
