It's not a big accomplishment to most of you, but after six years of bowling, many lessons, lots of bowling balls that didn't have any magic in them, etc., I finally got my first 600 on Friday night.  I've had loads of 590-somethings over the past two years, but I couldn't crack the barrier.  Last week in league, I needed a 183 to do it, but it wasn't meant to be.  Ended that night with a 589.  So this past Friday, I stopped doing the math and just bowled.  195-222-189 for a 606.  Had I done the math, I'd have known going into the tenth that I needed another 183.  That would have freaked me out.

Anyway, as I said, it's not a huge accomplishment to others, but I fought long and hard for it.  Now to get the second one ...

Debina: Great job, keep up the excellent work. Once you've thrown your first 600, many more will follow. Keep setting goals and moving onward and upward in your quest for quality bowling.

This is what you should always do.  Thinking about what you need to get X score/win/etc. just gets you in trouble.  I always approach the 10th frame of every game with the same "I have to punch out" mentality.  I don't even look at the scoring monitors except to see what frame we're in when it's getting late in the game.
