I finally shot 800 !!!
« on: August 14, 2003, 07:43:48 AM »
I can not beleive it.

I was using a Mass Chaos (that I had just put some of Doc's Magic Elixer on about 1 week ago)!

I'm very thankful to God for this!!! He gets all the Praise and Glory for my success!!!

My previous high was 765 about 8 months ago.

My games were 264, 268, & 268.

I really never thought I would do it. Even though I've only been bowling for a little over 2 years and I've really learned a TON OF STUFF from this place... and one of my closest friends that took me under his wing and taught me the game!!!

What was really nerve racking was having to make the 2-8 spare just to shoot 800 on the nose! Because if I would have chopped one of the pins, I'd have only shot 799!

I know you all have probably seen a BUNCH of my posts lately in the last couple of months in the forumns, and some of you are probably getting tired of me asking so many questions... and I bet some of you have probably said,"I wish Ric Clint would just get a life",... LOL - but hey, I'm just wanting to learn as much as I can and be the best I can!

Thanks to Doc for the Elixer!

I've shot 4 300's in practice and I never thought that I would ever shoot a 300 in LEAGUE. And now, I come up and shoot an 800 in LEAGUE "before" I ever shot a 300 in league. Talk about being backwards? LOL.


Thanks to all of you for answering all of my posts over and over agian - SERIOUSLY!!!

Congrats Ric.  You done it the hard way without a 300 in the mix.  Keep up the good work.

On edit, sure hope this wasn't first nite of your winter league, might be a tad difficult to hold that average

Congrats to you Ric.

I guess all those questions were well worth it.

I'm glad the Elixir helped you achieve one of the toughest awards yet.

Be sure to get me the information on when and where you shot your 800 so I can post it on my website.

Keep up the good shooting

300shooter,

I'm not so sure if 800's are THAT easy. Aren't there only just a hand full of 800's shot each year?

I do have to say that mine was only the second 800 series that I've ever seen shot.

And also, that I've already shot one in ONLY my first 2 years of bowling... I think that is pretty good (not trying to brag, just being honest)!!!

I just hope there's many more to come!


ps... if a man doesn't get excited over an 868 series like you shot (no matter how easy the shot is), then what drives your motivation to continue to even bowl???
