On my other league I have a team mate who is 77 and still bowling great. Averaging over 200 this week he shot 171-259-269 for a 699. Never give up!
Hey don't give up, you're hardly near death at 71 these days. My great aunt is still alive and she's still driving and bowling on a senior league at 94. I need to go bowl with her one of these days although I'll drive LOL Just keep the dream of doing it alive. You just never know, the next time could be the time you do it.

I like your attitude! Good for your teammate, that's some excellent bowling! I've already had 300's but I still want more especially after my 10yr break. I can only hope when I'm in my 70's I can still do it and do it well. I will never stop bowling again. I realized after 10yr break and went, what a void it left in my life. Even if a doctor tells me tomorrow I will die if I ever bowl again, I guess I'll be dying tomorrow night. LOL
In our center on the Thursday night league there hasn't been
a 300 game or an 800 series shot all season so far because
of the screwy shot and screwy pinsetters having pins way off
of spot.
I thought we might get lucky last Thursday night as our team
mate got going on a string the first game and he never missed
the pocket the whole game but only ended up with a 277 game
because of a bad rack of pins.
I think the Wednesday night league has only had one 300 game
and no 800 series all season long and that is the league with all
of the best bowlers in the center.

Looks like we have 6 300's in our league this year and 3 800's (833, 809, 806). I just started 4 weeks ago and have already seen 3 300's. I know I won't get one this year but my goal is to get my first next year. Looking at all the different league results at our center we are definitely the best league. There were a couple other leagues that had a 300 but none where there were multiple 300's and none had any 800's
Hey you just never know, you have to have more self confidence than that. Now that you'll have that new ball that actually fits your hand there is no telling. You may just get one this season. Heck, you may get more than one, time will tell. With all the prize money you'll be winning by next fall we'll be calling you "Yachtman37" Easy sailing the rest of this seasons for the boatman.
Not ruling it out but taking baby steps. It COULD happen but being realistic here. I was never able to do it in 20 years at the top of my game. Confident I can get back there again but understand it will take time. That doesn't mean I won't hit a hot streak. My first game the 2nd week back I rolled a 244. I started the game with 3 strikes then a split then 5 more strikes. Can't remember how it ended after that but I know I had at least 8 strikes that game....lol
Heard there was a 299 tonight in our league. That has to suck. Our PSO rolled an 800 (80*). Heard him talking that on his last ball he needed a 5 for 800 so threw it down the middle.
We are in week 29 (5th week of the 3rd 12 week season) of my current league. A 300 is a near impossibility here. Top 3 scores ever are 246, 245, 235. Highest individual series is 609 and highest 12 week average is 160.
Maybe we will all come down to your house to build some confidence!
