My father's first 300 (videos)
« on: March 25, 2009, 12:55:57 PM »
Tonight by dad at the age of 60 shot his first 300 game during our league.  I'm happier now than I was when I tossed my first 300 or 800.  What a great night that I'll never forget.  He was using a Cell Pearl.  His set was 300-198-257 for a 755, which is also his highest series.  

Sorry for the crappy video quality.  I took my camcorder out of my car before leaving so all I had was my cell phone.

I'll tell you what...I can't even describe how happy I am for the guy.  He throws the ball very, very well and was long overdue for this.  After the 3 he started the next game with a turkey for a 15-bagger before he left a 6-10.  In the 10th he left a washout.  He started the 3rd game with a 7-bagger before leaving 10 pins in the 8th, 9th, and 10th.  

He got the monkey off his back now and I see no reason why he won't toss a few more.  FWIW, he absolutely pasted me.  I shot my first sub-6 of the season and he goes off for 755.  He has mentioned that a couple times already

Him being there to see my first 300 and 800 is something special.  I'm so glad I was there to see his.  Thanks for the kudos everyone.  He's on cloud 9 and so am I.
