Title: My first 700.....FINALLY!!
Post by: Nollster on June 14, 2004, 07:24:22 AM
I'm in a 2-man team double-doubles league -- 2 games on 1 pair vs. 1 team then on to a new pair for a new set vs. another team.  I started out 154-173 against the center manager and his partner.  Not a good beginning.  The next set, I'm bowling against a guy who has thrown a pair or more of 270s, a 290 and a 298 in just the first 4 weeks of league.  I was rolling my Rush and as all over the approach in the first set, so I decided to play my favorite line the next set:  25 to 15 at the arrows out to about 7 at the break.  I started 4-bagger, 9/, 8/, 4-bagger, 9/ for a 256.  Cool!!  Next game, 4-bagger, 9/, 6-bagger, 7 on the fill for a 276!!  Where did this come from?!?!?  I had them set me up on another pair to try to get the 700 -- they moved me halfway across the center on some lanes they hadn't oiled.  I managed a 200 for an unofficial 732 -- my first ever!!  I only hope I can duplicate it in an official situation!!

Now you KNOW you CAN do it - so, JUST do it.

TOO many IDIOTS, so LITTLE time.

Let me congratulate you for listing your golf arsenal in your profile.  Great choice of equipment.  Knowing what equipment you have, you have no excuse for playing a bad round.

Thanks!!  It's taken me 3 years to learn to accept that I can't play my blades well when I'm only golfing 2-3x a month.  The funny thing about my 700 is I played 2 rounds before my league -- kind of hacking it all over, but having fun -- yet all I could think about was getting to bowling league!!  I have never in my 19 years of playing golf, been so indifferent about it!!  I think a lot of it is because I'm not golfing against the kind of competition I look forward to.....Not that I'm great, but when you shoot high 70s/low 80s most of the time, it's sometimes tough to get up for the 110/120s that my friends shoot.....

Ron -

All the things we were working on at the BES seem to be coming together -- my timing is better, I'm dropping the ball quietly on the lane with more revs than ever and I'm not squeezing, well, not much anyway.  Of the shots I missed I can tell you I squeezed on 3 of them...But if it's only on 3 or so during a set, I can live with that!!  ..............For now.....

The saga of my suckage continues......After my "breakthrough", I had a night where I couldn't hit my average.  I thought last night might be more of the same -- imagine my surprise at a 198, 267, 213 -- a 678 AND they ALL COUNTED!!  It was a perfect night, well, except for the 117 I started with!!!

Congrats on your first 700.  I remember mine to this day and you'll remember yours for years to come as well.  Keep it up!
