Finally I did it again
« on: November 26, 2008, 05:50:12 AM »
11 1/2 years after throwing my first one. I finally shot 300 again. Went 211, made a ball change, then went 258, 300!!!  Hopefully, they will come a little more frequent now, !!  

Sorry I just felt like telling some people.

That's awesome man!  My one and only sanctioned 300 came 11 years ago almost to the day.

Monday I had the front 9....was locked in and loving it.

Threw number 10...off the hand clean, good roll, hit mark, smashes pocket, solid 10 pin.  Did I mention I'm left handed??  I couldn't believe it.

The whole alley went Ohhhhhhhhh.  I hate that sound lol.

Good bowling!  Keep it up and get #3 next week!

I understand that sound completely. Back when I threw my 1st one, I needed the 1st one in the 10th frame to shoot 800. Smashed the pocket, exploded the rack and low and behold standing there was the 7 pin. "Right handed"  Ever since then that pin has been my nemisis. Been close to the 300 oh so many times and seemed like, the 7 pin was 75% of the 1 pin I left. I swore if I left it last night I was going to throw my shoe at it....lol.

I am sure yours will come soon, I hope it does. Let me know when you shoot it, I always love hearing about people shooting honor scores, and like watching them as well......!

My dad shot his first 300 in 1990 after about 30 years of trying. He shot his second 10 years to the day in the same tournament at the age of 57.

It does hurt....! I know that might come someday. But to be close that many times!  Oh well, I will keep doing this until it either beats me, or I beat it.

At least now I will have 2 rings to hand down to each one of my kids.! That was my overall goal for now, next goal 800??  or to place decently at the Open.
