Bowler leaves 5-7-10 on last ball....for 799!!!
« on: March 11, 2004, 06:00:46 PM »
This past Monday night in the men's major handicap league at my home house a fellow left a 5-1-10 on his fill ball in the third game for 799!  I didn't believe it when I heard but several people saw it and told me it was a fact.  

And I felt bad because I left a pocket 7-10 in my fill ball for 699!

We have a local bowler that threw a wash-out 5 count for a 799 last season.  We still don't let him live that down or the 295 he threw a few months after (he made sure to hit that ball and went greek church).

I posted a 269 of game 1.  Got up in the 10th in game 2 on a strike and needed the first one in the 10th to shoot 231 or better.  Crushed the pocket and left a stone solid 7 pin.  Spared, struck for 228.  No big deal, I thought.  What are the chances I would throw a 298 or better in game 3 for 800 anyway?

Game 3 - 299 for a 796.  I'm not nearly as irritated about the 6 pin in the 12th of game 3 as I am with that 7 pin in game 2.

Tech, it was the 5-7-10 for sure.  He is a bit of an older guy, who is a straight up kinda guy.  I guess he tugged it and the ball just 'hydroplaned' into the pocket with nothing on it.  I don't know if he has ever had 800 before, my guess would be that he has...he owns a center near hear and has scored well there for years.

5-7-10...I'd pick up my equipment, throw it all away and give up the game forever...

they'd both piss me off really bad but the 799 would just kill me, i would break down and cry right on the approach

It happens. Just last night I had the front 11, then right out of he**, comes the virtual rolling turd. I still don't know what I did, but I missed my mark outside by 2 boards and didn't put any fingers in the ball. Left the 2-4-5 bucket for 297.

Ok I was wondering. You had 5-7-10 in the heading but put 5-1-10 in the post. I figured it was the 5-7-10.
