Last year, I had the opportunity to bowl against someone who had been a friend of mine until he decided to take my wife (now ex wife) away from me while I was overseas. I was in the military years ago and while I was in Korea serving my country, I learned that she had moved in with this person who I used to bowl youth leagues with, and eventually married him. Anyway, he always mumbles crap under his breath to me while walking passed me just about every league night. Well, on October 31 of last year, I had the opportunity to bowl against him as our teams went head to head. In front of his family, I shoot 300 the first game on my way to 836. After I was finished, he literally cussed me out under his breath and walked out like a 5 year old who was just told he could not have any milk and cookies. Has anyone had a moment like this?

A few come to mind......

1) Bowling my first 700. I went 234, 236 then 235 for a 705 series. Best part of it was, I miscalculated and thought I had blown it in the 8th frame of the last game, so felt no pressure in the 9th and 10th till my dad (who was my bowling partner) told me I had made my 700!

2) I played a big tournament here in a England about 4 years ago called the London International. Around that time, they had just started showing an invitational one lane tournament called World Tenpin Masters on satellite TV. 16 Bowlers from around the world playing 2 game matches. My favourite was Tim Mack from New Jersey. Anyway, I turned up to play the International for the first time, and he was bowling on my lanes! I bowled with him for the whole 9 games of qualifying, and got an autograph and some advice from him afterwards. It was great to meet and bowl with my hero.

3)Every New years Day, my home centre holds a tournament inviting the highest average players from all of its leagues. One year, I managed to make the stepladder in 4th, and made it through to the final against the centre manager, who was a former international player and amf world cup finalist. Although he beat me, I only lost by 2 pins, and it was the greatest thing I have ever played in.
