My First 300
« on: September 01, 2008, 10:52:23 AM »
Bowled to fill in for an injured friend in our scratch league tonight. I have not been bowling uch, no more than once a week in league. STarted off with a 246 with an open tenth frame (missed a ten pin) hitting the pocket every ball. Second game was a 196 and I started pulling the ball (opened the tenth frame and missed that darn 10 pin again) last game I went brooklyn, then pocket, and proceeded to go either heavy into the headpin or brooklyn until the 9th frame, carrying all. I have to say I was too scared to move as everything was going over. In the 9th I went heavy in the pocket and carried, and found I had jelly-legs when I stepped up for the tenth - I decided that I had to move, adjusted to the right, and proceeded to strike 3 in the pocket for my first 300, and possibly the worst game of bowling I have ever thrown!

Just wanted to hear from anyone else who has every scored big while throwing so badly, asI am actually not sure if I should be pleased with the score or disappointed at the bowling

It is what it is, A 300!

  I have three of them, but as was stated before, only one that I would call perfect ( hitting flush for 12 times in a row ), the other ones were lucky in that I had high hits, a brooklyn ( or two ), and some other assorted lucky carry.

  Watched a friend of mine shoot 300 once and every other ball ( lane 6 ) was brooklyn.  Still 300 though.

Some people hit flush to leave stone 8s and 9s, or ring 7s and 10s.  Some people can go through the nose, and domino effect the 7-4-2-(In that order.  I'v seen it before.  Luck imo counts alot more than actual skill does in this game, like Poker.

I've had three 300s in league and all 12 for each weren't pretty.  I remember my very first one when I had 2 brooklyns.  Thank goodness pretty strikes en route to a 300 isn't a stat that's kept on bowl.com.

Congrats!  Before you know it you'll be bowling the best game of your life and end up with 279 or less.
It's happened to me a few times, every ball in the pocket.  Then that 10 pin, 7 pin, 8, 9 pin show up to blow that perfect game.
