We all know Rev O's exploits this year. What is the record for a sanctioned season average?

im not saying 261 can be done again im just saying tht place is very easy   just only averaged 1.5 spares a game thats tough but it helps when you have 25 board margin of error

Something people may not realize.  The league wasn't really that easy.  Sure Kingpin lanes has great carry.

The league Jeff set the record on was a swing shift league.  One week the bowled first shift, the next week they bowled 2nd shift.

I wonder how many people could average that for over 100 games playing no tap under those conditions.

I believe next high average one the league was mid 230s.  Wasn't as easy for other people.

It's impossible to play 7th arrow.  Flat out impossible.

Funny...I've seen Fagan and a few others loft the cap at NEBA's too.  I believe it's possible to hit 7th arrow for a shot, but to keep close to hitting for an entire game doesn't seem logical either.

Dustin, be careful what you say. To bash me is one thing, but to bash a bowling center that does nothing but support the sport of bowling in every way is another

I agree with Carter on this one. Don't bash the bowling alley. Bowling alley's are business establishments. As such, they give their clients what they want. Most bowlers want cake shots that will net them honor scores every other week. If the centers don't put that down then the people will find someplace that will. I know several bowlers who won't be coming back to my home house this season because there hasn't been a 300 or 800 shot there in 3 years. Personally, that's why I like bowling there. Sure, there are some of us who like bowling on tougher conditions or in houses where the carry is difficult, but there are far more who want to average 220 whether they are truly good or not. In any event, don't diminish the incredible nature of JC's accomplishment. I don't care how wide open the shot may have been, 261 for a full season is simply astounding. Hell, I'd be willing to bet that the vast majority of us couldn't pull an average like that off if we were able to tailor the shot for our own game.

Jeff, anyone that bashes you and what you've accomplished, HAS NO CLASS..!! Anyone who can average 261 over an entire season, no matter what the condition, is a phenomenal bowler.

I would also like to congratulate King Pin Lanes for making sure the lane conditions are as consistent as possible from week to week.

I welcome your accomplishment and respect the fact that records are made to be broken. So, will the next Jeff Carter please stand up..!! =:^D

like i said before i never said what he did wasnt hard becuase it was im just saying that the center has some really high scores        i happened to knwo a few in the past from that area that couldnt average 175 on some house shots but averaged 220 there      im sure jeff could average 245-255 at some of the local centers there at well maybe laketown east or west not sure of the its been many years    i bowled at one about 5 years and i know it wasnt very hard  230 in juniors and still not make the top ten  lets be serious everytown has the same problem with scoring    its out of control     i never said what jeff did was easy and i know how good jeff is becuase ive bowled 2 regions   and been on the pair next to him and down a couple of pairs  when scroggins did it im sure thing it was a easier house than most not taking anything away from them

Usually when great scoring records in golf are set they are on courses that are easier than others that are harder.

But this takes nothing away from the great accomplishment and mental fortitude it takes to set such a record.  Some would have the physical ability to do it but would choke up later in the year as the magnitude of the accomplishment would weigh on them.  ONE would and has....Opened the door, seen what was possible and walked thru that door!  Congratulations Jeff!

I find it best NEVER to knock the accomplishments of others.  (Unless in bowling it involves brooklyns)!

Amazingly I find this trend of disparaging so prevalent in bowling and not so likely in golf.  Surprisingly the standings of the people participating lead to the difference in perceptions and acceptance of success.

People of succcess acknowledge success.  People of medium or lower standing envy success or even disparage.

I try to always make people think I'm in the higher group.  Whether I'm there or not at any one time I intend on being there so I act like that.

Don't let people mark you as one of those with envy.

REgards,

Luckylefty
