How long did it take you to get your first 300?
As the title says, how long after you started bowling did it take for you to bowl a perfect game? A sanctioned 300 not practice.
Im at 1yr and 7months of bowling with a league each week. I had been bowling only a month before starting my first league. I have 1 practice 300 but no official 300's. Also, 2 practice 299's and 1 295.
I have had 4 279's in league. 11 strikes one spare somewhere in there. usually a 10 pin between the 3 and 7th frame.

That's impressive, man. I've been bowling nearly 3 decades and I'm still waiting for my first perfect game (sanctioned, non or practice). My highest game was in a non-sanctioned league 279 but my highest sanctioned game was a 234. The highest practice game I have was a 248.

Wow, that's crazy. When I posted my numbers, I meant those to be slow. most nights it seems impossible to bowl a 300. the long breaks in between. so many bowlers on one set of lanes tearing them up.
I started bowling in 1967 and it wasn't until my late teens before I threw a 300. In total I have thrown 5 (my last one in a jackpot tournament Memorial Day weekend of 1994) but none of them have been sanctioned. They were all thrown in either non-sanctioned events, or thrown out due to lane conditions...

I've been bowling since I was 9 (17 now), and I still haven't thrown a 300.
I've started with the front 8 twice, but choked it away in the ninth frame.
220/300x4/761
I only throw a hyroad
37 years and counting! While I have several games over 270 the spare has always come before the fifth frame so I figure I've never even come close.

I started bowling when I was a kid (late 1960's) and bowled my one and only sanctioned 300 in 1991. Also bowled a sanctioned 290 and an unsanctioned 300 the same year.
it took me 1.5 year for my first sanctioned 300 I'm in my 7/8 season. My goal is to do it in every league each year. I'm not far from it I have 279,289,298 high games 730,770,810 series in my 3 leagues. I have never keep track of practice games or could be series, no pressure, no glory.
