I am almost a year into my bowling adventure and I hit a second milestone. I just got my first 600 series.
I have been practicing (with a purpose) quite a bit and was thinking to myself that tonight it would be great to finally hit this mark. It was iffy and I got it the ugly way. My average in this league is a 165 but, I know that I can bowl better than this when I focus. The first game I hit a 188. The second game was a 199 (thanks to some open frames on my part). The third game, I start out with two strikes and then gutter to start the third frame. I picked up the spare and changed balls. Then get spares for the next two frames and I am at a 97. I then bowl 5 strikes in a row, including striking to open then tenth frame. My next ball is a 7, leaving a split. I pick up 2 of the remaining pins. I look up and I've bowled a 233.
My next goal is, obviously, a 700 series but, considering that less than a year ago, bowling a 400 series was a challenge, I'm going to enjoy this moment, if only for tonight.
