First real 300
« on: June 29, 2003, 02:05:07 AM »
After a few Veripapa 300's, I pulled off the real deal today.  Albeit it was in practice, but it is proof positive that I have the seeds of perfection within.  When I practice, I generally don't keep score except for the last few games.  I bowled about 8 games before I started keeping score.  I was concentrating on staying behind the ball and not coming around it.  Bowled 4 games w/ score - 257, 201, 195, 300.  For the heck of it, I threw one more shot after the 12th fell and left a breathtaking solid 8.

Here's to the first of many 300's.

Congrats!  Great shooting!

On league night, a realm of untold destruction and horror is formed.  Innocent pins are unsuspectingly pulled into this terrifying realm.  Their lives are changed forever by the terror that is unleashed upon them for the next 36 frames.  They stand in fear as they await their fate when they enter...The Danger Zone.  (Only those damn 10-pins have lived to tell the gruesome tale.)

Pnut,

Impressive that it came after you had already expended the energy; great stamina.  Congrats, and do not let anyone downplay its significance because it was practice; like you said, "its prof positive that you have it in you to roll 12 in a row!!" I am still waiting for my first!

I usually practice for 10-12 games a day 3 days a week.  I was practicing with a 21 y/o kid the other day and he was spent after 6 games.  I made it a point to let him know that this 34 year old was only half-done.  You're not the first to comment on stamina.

Thank you all for the kind words.
