Congrats Scotty on a nice game and a good set. I've had the front 7 more times than I can count but I never make it past that (high game 267 multiple times). It's great when you can see the hard work pay off.
First 289/700
Before last night I had only made it to the front 8 before collapsing. Now I have made it to the front 10.
Left a ringing 10 pin on the 11th shot and picked up the 10 for the 289.
I also got my first 700 and by 700 I mean exactly 700!
We do 3-10 week sessions so last night was our first position round and next week starts session 2.
Being far enough ahead in 1st we did not even need to show up. So I decided to try and play an outside line up 7 with my Tag just for the heck of it. After 2 opens, a strike, and spare in the first 4 frames I switched to my Shock and rolled out a 214 the first game. Followed by the 289, which had my heart jumping out of my chest...... The 3rd game my shot had gone away, but after a ball change to the Forza and a move in of 2 and 2 left I found something to finish off with a 197 and the exact 700.
All the training and practice has paid off and I have been averaging around 218 through 2 leagues the past 4 weeks. Now I got picked up for a Thursday night league which is much more competitive than my other 2 leagues. This has been what I have been waiting for and can't wait to bowl tougher competition.

Nice rolling! Keep it up and you'll get that first 300!!
Thank you! I was doing alright controlling the heart rate and relaxing between shots. But of course the 10th frame everyone around me stopped and it got quiet. Buried the first shot in the 10th and then ring 10. I hated it being so quiet, but I get that everyone wanted to stay out of my way.
You know you are doing something right when you get a few guys that tell you, that they like watching me bowl. I will take that as a compliment!
