Two Ninety Nine
That’s what I threw tonight, in a league I don’t even bowl in. I was a sub for someone else. My last ball in my last game was a nearly perfect shot. It left a solid nine pin. Honestly, I’m not too upset about that. I know I’ll throw a 300 someday. I get a 299 ring for what I did tonight. I also get a wooden bowling pin with my name and “299” on it in the display case at the bowling alley. I’m more annoyed at the 9th frame of the third game – a seven pin, I should have picked up, and would have given me 40 clean frames for the night. This is certainly my highest four game series, and I beat my previous high game of 278. Combined with my poker over the weekend, I’ve been having a pretty good week. |

Just passing through, cool blog by the way.
Must be nice to see so many X’s while you bowl. For some reason I bowl a much prettier ball left handed. I flirt with 200 most games, and generally fall short most times as well.
Holy crap – 299! Nice. My high game is 257? if I remember correctly. Congrats!
