First game of 2013: 182. Good game for me.

My first score wasn't anything to write about since I'm not in a league yet, but my 9 year old son first league day back was today and his first game was a 151! It's his highest game so far and a big improvement since he started out in the league throwing games well under a 50.

First night back to league of the new year and the second half... Took out the newly drilled Arson Hybrid and shot awesome for me... Average 170 on league and been chasing a 600 series onleague and tonight was the night. First 600 series during league ever. I shot a 191 191 222 for a 604. Threw nothing but the Arson the whole time (its a double league) and used the freeze twice to pick off a ten pin. All in all a great start to the week and new year.

First league night of the year for me was hot. I bowled a 220, 214 and a 247 for a scratch 681 series. What a great start because league nights starting in September for
our league in 2012 was very mediocre at best. I thought that I would never bowl in my past best again. I knew I still had good games inside of me waiting to come out.

Hey purplepotatoe, those scores must have been bowled on THS oil pattern to get scores that high. Just kidding. The way I look at it is that no matter what pattern of oil be it THS, sport or PBA I still have to give that person credit for what they accomplished. You still have to know something about bowling to get a job like that done. I see typical house bowlers who can't even make it to the pins without
having the ball get to the gutter first. We have people on our league that have been bowling for years and only have a 115 average. You still have to put in the time and want to get better. So you buy your own bag, ball and shoes. You also find out from others what kind of ball works best on the alleys you will bowl on. Maybe you decide to go all out and take at least one lesson for an hour. Or maybe you buy bowling magazines that have good instruction or books because you have a passion for the game. I know I got hooked 26 years ago
and have never lost my passion for the game. There is nothing like the feeling when you throw your ball and you see those revs on the ball and suddenly your ball makes that move to the pocket and totals the pins. Then you are able to keep it up for the whole game and maybe get a score of 240. Now you are hooked because you know you can do it and you will want to do it again. Or maybe it is getting your first highest game of 170, 180, 190 or your first 200. Then you are hooked because you will want to go higher. That's what happened to me. I never got that 300 game but I did have a game with strikes in every frame except the 8th in which I got a spare. With a game like that I can't complain. I will bowl as long as my body will let me. I hope that will be for a while yet. Maybe that 300 is right around the corner.
