    My first was in 2007. Averaging right about 217 at the time. I had been bowling back in league setting for 3 years when I did it. I have bowled since I was about 5 years old, but, took a break in my 20's as I was getting family and career going.

    Since then have rolled 8 more 300's. Kinda close to 1 per year.

    I started bowling in 1973 back in college. I shot my only 300 in 1997. I was averaging 193 at that time. It was a notoriously tough house to get a 300 at that time. I think only 9 were shot that season across all the leagues. I missed the pocket once that night, and didn't have an open frame. The thing that killed me was that I didn't break 700. The games were 198 - 300 - 199.
    Style: Power Stroker/Tweener - 16.5 - 17.5 mph, PAP 4 1/2 x 0
