How do you shoot your first 600?

Let's not underestimate the "once a week" bowler on here. I'm one of them, and you have to go back to December 13th to find the last time I shot under 600.

Well aren't you special with only one UNDER 600 since then lol.

Quick background Started bowling maybe 6 years ago average about 100. Few 190-200 avg friend si joined to drink and have fun. After a summer league I bought a ball and shoes.

Other than a small percentage of time since the I've basically bowls once a weak. So for me to I'm doing pretty good at minor incremental improvements to average at this point.

Beyond bowling multiple leagues a week. ( I wish but don't have the time/money). Or getting coaching (money somewhat but most erratic schedule)

I envy u bastards that can shoot 600 without trying lol. ( of course I'm being facetious in that as hard as I try this thread shows sometimes I can barely get to that 600 lol )

Good example. My one friend averaging mid 190s for the most part as long a have I have known him....past 2 years down to 1 night a week because of work/having kids. He shot his first 300 ever a few months ago. At our house which in the last 2 winter leagues including his have had now 4 total 300s.

Ok...since this thread is all over the place, I'll go back to my first instinct to post and thought better of it at the time

Original Title: How do you shoot your first 600?

Easy answer: Knock down enough pins to score 600 over three ten frame games of bowling.

Sorry, couldn't resist. As a 180 average bowler, my 600s will usually come when least expected. They come when I am more relaxed or not actually watching my own score that much. Some bowlers actually do better with putting all the pressure on themselves of knowing they have to have "xyz" to get this or to win or to whatever. Some don't. I'm a firm believer in do what's best for you, and the score will follow.

Started bowling when I was 8. I'm nearly 51 now. I damn well better be bowling that well (finally!). P.S. No 300 to show for it!

I was just happy I got my first 600 guys relax. Maybe you should have named you post this.
Congratulations on getting there. Now start planning for 700 and 300.
