I was quite the phenom as a youth. I grew up in a bowling alley(literally) and by the time I was in 8'th grade, I was bowling varsity with a 180+/- average. I peaked in my 12'th grade year with a 215+/- average and 2 sanctioned 290 games as well as a 780 tripple. By the time I was 22, I was bowling in a few different leagues with a varying average between the houses in the range(s) of 210 - 225.

I wound up quitting around this time, simply because I no longer enjoyed it. I would get absurdly mad if I "only" bowled a 210. It was no longer fun and I just put my ball away... I've never gone back to it eithor, well..., never more than a game here or there. In which case, I can still average 200+ with litle effort.

Bowling was and will always be in my blood.


On a side note, I have thrown dozens of 300 games in practice and non sanctioned leagues. It just always escaped me when it counted as I have quite a few sanctioned 290+ games.. Some day I hope to join a league and simply bowl for fun again, like when I was a young lad.

Also, I really like the Wii bowling! :)

I've bowled in a league for 7 years now (with MU Chuckwagon). I started as a 122 average bowler and have improved every year. As of Monday night, I average 181. My highest game ever is a 275 (last year), I've bowled in the 260's several times.

We have a guy on our team who averages 220, and he's not even the best in the league. There's a giy who averages 235+. He really has no business in a 210-handicap league.

I bowled in high school by throwing the ball with two hands down the lane in high school. :D Bowling is very bad for your throwing arm, especially if you add any spin to the ball. My highest is about 160ish

It never effected me as I was a dominant pitcher as well.

ive bowled for many years but gave it up 5 years ago.
when i quit i avg about 210 and had the distinction
of never bowling 300, but shooting 805 in league play.
an 800 series is about 4x harder than a 300 game.
my last game i had the 1st 11 which gave me 800 with count
and on the last ball i left a stone 9 pin for 299-805.
we won the league that night, but still a bitter pill to swallow. :cry:
i had the gold ring made for the 805 series.

Bowled a 279....one lousy 10 pin away from a 300....luckily it happened in the 3rd frame so there wasn't any pressure in the tenth.
