I stopped bowling after my senior year of high school because my family moved and I had no one to bowl with. I avereaged 208 that year, then just went and practiced a bit here and there, and joined a summer league when I was 22.
Averaged 216 with a 299 and 774 series (different nights), then got invited to bowl in a men's league the following fall.
Averaged 219 that season and threw the ball the best I ever had, and really even though I've booked higher, ever have.
