Lowest Series I've ever SEEN!
« on: July 18, 2005, 10:43:13 AM »
Ok, in my saturday league(actually last season) I saw a girl bowl a three game series of 38! She had games of 24,12,2. Can you believe that?! A game of 2 with a 38 series.

My daughter's first league scores were 0 - 12 for an average of 6.  Granted she was only 5 and no bumpers.  She had never bowled before but wanted to join the league.  She is still bowling today at 24 and carries a 190+ average.

Last season we had an adult male shoot a 174 3 game set and he was not a new bowler.  He bowls 2 nights a week and has been bowling about 5 years.

That's not too bad for a beginner.  Everyone has to start someplace.  How would you like to be these guys at the ABC Nat'l though.

Just go to www.bowl.com
and click on records and stats from the menu on the left of the screen. Here
is an example of what you can find there, this is from an update I got last
week from USBC Extra Frames. Bryan Hunche of Akron, Ohio just set the new
record for low game with 9 strikes he shot 176. This beat the old record of
184. They did not say how he got this score on a frame-by-frame print out
but it will probably be in the book when updated for 2005 next year. Then
there was this one and am I glad wasn't me Steve Rock of Lake George, New
York set the new one game below average score. Steve who has a league
average of 230 had a 68 game a whopping 162 pins below his average.

The above is a excerpt from Bob Korth's column.

My two grand daughters began bowling in YABA two years ago throwing a 8 lb ball two handed, the next season we taught them to roll the ball with a conventional drilling, this year they have 10 lb. Scout reactives drilled semi finger tip and both average over 110, and hook the pi$$ out of them. Megan the oldest(11) has a scratch high game of 177 in YABA, Whitney the younger (10)has a high game of 153. I hope they continue and someone brings back the PWBA, I'd like to retire before I'm 90 lol

Face it man. A 2 is bad for anyone of any age. Unless you're a baby or something!

Not really that unusual.  I coach High School Bowling and we get kids that have never bowled before. We literally start from this is a bowling ball.  They want to do something and they decided bowling.  They have no idea about form, equipment, approach or anything else.  An example would be a girl that came out to have fun and averaged 75 her first season.  The next season with some training she averaged 135.  That's a 60 pin increase!  She came in 41st at her first Texas State High School Singles Championship.   Two weeks ago she bowled 11 games and averaged 188!  Then she left for Dick Ritger Camp in New York.  Everyone has to start someplace.  We have worked all kinds of kids with all kinds of conditions.  Ever work with a swimmer that bowls like a swimmer?  Or basketball players that bowls/dribbles like basketball players.  It's amazing and a lot of fun.  If you told me you saw a 14 year old throw everything in the right channel I'd go "yup, seen that".
