I finally threw a sanctioned 300 game! I threw it in what is known as the toughest house around too. I shot 234 the first game, and opened the 10th frame missing the 10 pin. 300 the second game, and 214 the third game with an open 10th frame on a 4-9 split. 748 series.

Nice shooting!!

1. What ball were you using?

2. What were your 10th frame strikes like?

I used my DV8 Marauder Mutiny. The first strike in the tenth was 10 back. The eleventh was a mixer, and I buried the last shot. Couldn't have been better. Now my wife wants to ring shop with me

Way to go foreverincamo and a great series too there is no
other feeling in the world that feels as great as getting that
first 300 game.

I'm sure there will be many more 300 games to come in the
future just keep pounding on that pocket.

Next goal is a sanctioned 800 series. Would be awesome to do both in one season.

Looks like your on the path for that. Grats man. I get excited if I shoot over 150 ha ha. I would lose my mind if I ever shot over 200 ha ha.

Thanks for the replies, everyone. Instead of being one of those bucket list check-offs, all I want to do is get another one. Sounds greedy but there's no limit to how many I'm allowed!

You are correct there is no limit to how many you can have the
only limit now days is on the 300 rings it's one in a lifetime.

Back in the good ol' days when I was bowling good it was one 300
ring per year but now days it just isn't the same way anymore. I have
a few of them laying around in drawers somewhere and a 300 watch
that I haven't seen since my last move to my new apartment.

They don't offer watches anymore. I would like an 800 watch to go with my 300 ring. I also want a patch that says 100 over average. My 300 qualified for that patch. I think my handicapped game was like 323.

I went down to where I bowl to get some help for my wife from the pro shop, and the proprietor was in. Great guy, but not around much as he is battling cancer and very weak from his treatments. He congratulated me on my 300 and told me he couldn't believe I threw it on the toughest pair of lanes in the house. I now have a sign posted on the pair with my accomplishment for all to see for the next year. It's a tough house. There were only 7 300's shot there last season, and I have the only one this year, and that's combining all leagues.
