I guess the next thing I need to do is shoot the 800 series I'm missing. I've been close a few times but it still seems a ways off.

I'm not the type to wear a ring but I thought it would be something that my kids could keep and remember me by.

The rings just don''''t mean much to most people anymore with how easy alot of people thenk the scoring conditions have become..

Don't mean much to OTHER people. I've yet to meet with somebody that wasn't proud of their 300 game......except on here of course.....where everybody has 20-30 "sanctioned" 300 games and throws a 300 during every practice session.
Must be some really killer leagues out there since everybody seems to always bowl 750 or better

For bowling one league, not touching a bowling ball over the summer and barely ever practicing I'm pretty proud of the 2 300 games I've bowled in my last three years and the rings mean something to me. It makes me wonder how good I could be if I actually bowled a few leagues and practiced every so often.
Maybe later on in life when I don't have a super sweet daughter and a new son to spend time with or who doesn't want to spend time with me.

That's for sure. I know guys that compete on the Senior Tour that still wear their rings. For most people, it's a nice reminder of a nice accomplishment. For those who want to elevate themselves to a falsely superior level above "house hack", rings don't matter. They only bowl in tournaments, scratch leagues, blah, blah. Ask these "tournament hacks" how many tourneys they have won and the answer will be none.
Ladies and gentlemen, you earn a ring don't let anybody denigrate the joy and sense of pride you feel when you wear it.
Props to you for a very eloquent post. I agree wholeheartedly. Nothing more to add, except congrats to abnormal on his 2nd tree hundred & good luck on getting an 8.

My earlier quote saying the rings dont mean much to most people was just the sense I have gotten from reading posts from alot of people on here as well as alot of people that I bowl with.. IMO, you should be very proud of shooting ANY honor score, regardless where it is or the situation.
NOTE: I also edited my original post to read what I was trying to say..
A 300 is a 300 and an 800 is an 800, period..

It took a lot of hard work to earn my 300 game ring and my 800 series ring. I wear one or the other every day and it's always an attention getter when i run into someone. I don't see the need for multiple 300 rings but to each his own.
