Thread: Most games played in a day or most consecutive days bowled?

  1. #1

    Default Most games played in a day or most consecutive days bowled?

    Just wondering the most games or longest anyone here has bowled in one day? Or how many consecutive days someone has bowled?

    I usually bowl on Sundays as they have great deals ($6 for two hours after 6pm). Will pick up some games during the weeknights. I avoid Friday and Saturday nights altogether due to cost and cosmic bowling.

    This last Sunday I played 6 games in the morning and 4 more in the evening for a total of 10 games.

    I'm sure we have some people on here who have bowled 20-30 straight games?

    Most games in a day? When I was practicing for sweeps in Laughlin, NV I bowled 20 games...10 in the morning and 10 later that night. I routinely bowl 10-12 games when I practice so 20 wasn't the end of the world. But I WAS noticeably more tired.

    As to most days in a row that I bowled...that would be 8. From 1/20 through 1/27 I bowled my Tuesday league, then 3 days of lunchtime practice to get ready for a tournament that weekend...then 2 days of tournament play, my usual Monday evening practice, then Tuesday league night again the following week.

    At the height of my youth and stupidity, I once bowled 29 straight games. Now, at 65 years old, I can bowl six comfortably, and will occasionally bowl a ten-gamer, but the last couple of games are a stretch. Since I often bowl the Senior U.S. Open, I dread to think what would happen if I ever make the cut and have to bowl match play! LOL

    So you take lunchtime off of work to bowl? How many games do you get in?

    I've been considering this since my workplace is real relaxed and there is a bowling center near my work

    Wow, 29 games. That's pretty rough but definitely doable.

    With the ball fitting my hand pretty good (no pitch or span issues) my hand or arms don't hurt at all even after 10 games. Not sure about 29 though

    3 games or so. By the time I drive there, get my equipment on/out, bowl, put my equipment away, then drive back it's about an hour and a half to 2 hours.

    9 is my most in a day/row. If my fingers didn't start blistering up, I would go till my arm fell off.

    25 games was my most in a week.

    I also bowl 3-4 games during my lunch break once or twice a week. Takes about an hour.

    Most games I'll ever do in one sitting is 12, and that's usually only for tournaments. I usually don't practice more than 7-8 games at a time (and it's normally less than that).

    When I was younger I regularly did 20 games a day. Just don't have time for that now. Although I would love to do more, I only have time for 2 leagues a week with the occasional tournament or practice on the weekends.
