Bowled a 300 tonight!

[Legendary]

I once prefaced every bowl with "Alright...now I'm pissed" and hit 5 strikes in a row. Unfortunately it was my last game so I couldn't test that theory fully, haven't been back since. That game ended in a 170ish.

NICE! :beer::beer:

My highest is only a 243.

Next time, try bowling without the bumpers. That does make it alittle tougher.

I've considered getting a PBA card, I'm eligible, but I don't really want to bowl on the national tour, and the regionals, although extremely competitive, really don't pay that much money. At least not to warrant the expense of getting my PBA card, then the cost of entering the tournaments.
Can't beat the competition, though, especially since some former Microsoft dudes bought the PBA a few years ago. Now, the national tour runs from about September straight through to spring, about March or April. No more summer tour, few weeks off, fall tour, time off, winter tour, etc.
So, if the touring pros want to bowl competitively at all, they have to bowl regionals from spring to fall. So the local regionals tend to have quite a few touring pros along with the regional guys.
I live in North Carolina, which is the Southern Region for the PBA, and got to see Walter Ray Williams, Jr. right here in town last year at a regional.....watched him shoot a 222 and follow that up with a 147!!! :Q

Damned synthetics, the center I bowl at just put them down at the beginning of the summer.

Used an Ebonite Predator ball. It hooks so much that I never could use it when they had wood lanes, but they've been flooding the synthetics, so I use it all the time now.

Yeah, scoring games yourself is getting to be a lost art. There's one place around here that still doesn't (probably never will) have auto-scoring.

I don't think the cumulative score of all my bowling games is over 750 and you did it in 3 games. Cool.

You didn't happen to do it in Charlotte, NC at Park Lanes did you? I just saw a guy do that last night (the same night your post is dated).
