    Yeah that is great. I always said that I would never bowl a 300 cause I'm not consistent enough but way back in the 90's I did throw 12 in a row but it was over 2 games...lol. I'd probably be heartbroke with a 299 but after it sunk in I'd be pretty pumped. I threw a 279 last fall and left a pocket 6. Ball was a hair high but close enough that 3 of 4 times it would have fell...lol. I was pumped but frustrated at the same time. The other night I rolled a 233 but it was so much better than that. Started with the front 6 then a pocket 7 then left a 4-6-7-8 then a 7-9 (both opens) then adjusted and finished with the last 3. While I was happy to roll a 233 and happy that I made the right adjustment I was frustrated that the front 6 only resulted in a 233. Bowling is a funny game...lol

    You'll get it!

    I've had a 290 (spare, then sheet) and followed that up with the front 6, so my wife was teasing me that, heck, I did 15 in a row, why not put them all in the same game? LOL

    It absolutely is a goofy game - but fun!
