Title: Perfect Game
Post by: campingcop on Feb 16, 2007, 06:50 PM
I Guess that I'm tooting my own horn, but yesterday (thur) on my senior afternoon bowling league I bowled a perfect game a **300** thats 12 strikes in a row 1-12 I did it in the first game. :-()

For any one that bowls you know that after you get 4 or 5 strikes it gets harder.

What is really hard is that for some reason when you have the first 8 or 9 strikes in a row the word get out and other bowlers start to watch you, then when you get up in the 10th frame the bowling alley get a little quite and you have a lot of people watching you as you stand on the approach with you knees knocking your nerves jumping and you keep thinking just try to keep the same shot that you did the last time.  Then you get the 10th strike and realize you have to do it 2 more times to get that perfect game  :yikes:

WOW Harvey!!  That is  :! AWESOME!  :# toot away, you earned the right. You probably had close to the whole alley watching you.So when do you get your ring?

That's quite a feat for a "senior" ;)

DUDE! That's awesome! You never struck me as a bowler, Harvey! Does Santina go bowling too?

Larry,
        Last year we were on a every other Sat. league and the name of our team was " 3 bowlers & Santina"  she's not what you would call a bowler but she tries and it gave us something to do together, we plan on doing it again next year.  This year we could not find a team.

That's AWESOME!!!   Congrats!  

(From one whose average used to be 135.  Now, it would be much lower).

For an amateur bowler to bowl a 300 is incredible! I've never even come close. Congrats.
