Getting that First 300 Game Under My Belt

[martin]

Thank you for your service!

While I still didn't get my 300 last week, I did get my first 800 series with an 810.

Had a 276, 277, 257. First game, started with the big 4, then threw 11 strikes. Second game, started with the 6-7-10 then 11 strikes. Third game I had three balls that didn't strike. So in 3 games, I threw 5 balls that did not strike. I'll take that I suppose...lol

wow that's a great series.. i haven't even passed 700.. lol..

I've been bowling 55 years, started when I was 11, and it took 35 years and the purchase of the first ever resin ball to get my first ring. I threw a 299 game in practice when I was about 17 and that was at a place with a Pin Boy ! Many of you have never experienced that phenomenon ! Anyway, my first 300 game was the 3rd game in an 856 set that broke the Local Association record. 279 - 277 - 300. Never had an 800 either and ended up having both on the same night. Have had 8 now and haven't had one in several years. Last year I probably shot 9 or 10 games over 275 but it's very elusive. The first one is always the hardest to get, and after that you'll relax more when the time arrives. Keep on shooting the big games "IT WILL COME TO PASS".

Oh, and just a hint....always move a board or two in the 10th frame. when you get a little anxious you'll almost always pull the ball.
