Thread: What is your greatest bowling accomplishment and what is your biggest goal?

    Default Re: greatest accomplishment

    I used to be casually into bowling about 4 years ago and just suddenly stopped, average at the time was about 120. I just got back into bowling in July and have been going about 3 times/week since then. I bowled my highest game ever (at the time) in July on my first trip to the bowling alley in 4 years, and averaged about a 120 that day. Since then, my average has gone up to about 140. I got my first bowling ball in Saturday morning, had it drilled Saturday afternoon, and last night bowled my highest game ever: 189! Since July, I hadn't been able to hit 169, but in the last four weeks, I've beaten it 3 times.

    I guess last night's 189 would be my greatest accomplishment, even though I had 2 open frames. In my previous high of 176, I picked up a 6,7 split and only left one frame open (10th).

    Goals:
    200 game
    Bowl a game without leaving an open frame
    Learn to throw a hook

    Greatest accomplishment would have to be having finally rolled a clean game. My goal now is to keep trying to roll clean games so i will have my chance at a 600 and maybe get my average up to a 180

    My biggest accomplishment so far happened last night. I bowled my personal best at 197. Goals would be to break the 200 mark, bowl a clean game, and eventually develop a hook.

    Accomplished one of my goals tonight (twice). Bowled a 206 and 200, consecutively!!!

    I had one game (in my league game Friday night) where I had spares through all ten frames, but didn't get a strike on my last roll. Does that still qualify as having a clean game? I've heard debate either way. Had a 176 in that game.

    Keep in mind, I've only been bowling for 4 months now.

    Yes, that is still considered a clean game. You made a mark in that frame, so that means you marked in every frame. Congrats!

    Yes as the mayor said it was a clean game. Now if you had led with a strike in the tenth you would have had to either strike on the next ball or convert the leave to stay clean under the rules in the sport league that I bowl in. We actually get bonus points for clean games.
