Well i hate to feel as though im repeating myself but tonight i did it again. Bowled 202, 221, 150 Total series: 573 going into the last game i really thought i could get the monkey of my back once and for all but as has been the case far too often, I fell at the final hurdle. There...

I'm feeling good tonight. I celebrated my 28th birthday last friday so naturally im feeling better about bowling tonight. Also just so i dont forget, last monday i had probaly my best come back in a game for a long time. In my second game i had only 65 in the 5th frame, I ended up...

In my league it is 90% of 200, which can be confusing to people as they dont know exactly how much over average they get as the handicaped total at the end of each game changes each week. If it was 100% of 200 then it would be far easier to tell if your over average or not as anything over...

Oops I did it again. Tonight was one of my best nights for a while: 202,188, 153. 543 series. I went into the last game believing i could bowl a 600 series but things just didnt go my way. I bowled the same way i had been bowling all night and the pins just wernt falling when i needed...

One of my other fonds memories would have to be bowling at MID NORTH COAST 4 Centre Challenge at Lismore in 2000. It was the first time that i felt as though i was representing my centre because of how i was bowling at the time, and not feeling as though i was there to make up the numbers...

I've been a bit inconsistent over the last few weeks but for the last 2 weeks i've bowled a couple of 500 series which have helped keep my average around the 165-170. At least i know that i can bowl games around the 170 mark on a consistent basis. And with all the other great things i have...

Well i failed last week but tonight i'm confident that ill bowl pretty good. As i mentioned last week and also in another topic disussion, it's been 12 years since i first bowled over 200 and every year when that milestone in my life comes around i always seem to bowl good. So i'm looking...

I was just wondering what is everyones fondest memory in 10-pin bowling. Im asking this question because one of my greatest memories was bowling my first 200 game back in. Incidentaly it happened on this very day back in 1996 March 8th. What made it special was i got my first 5-bagger at...

Not much to say since last time i posted something on this topic. I still havent bowled the series yet but tonight im bowling against my old team, which im looking forward to only because i bowled with them for quite a few years and i loved every minute of it, so bowling against them is...

As an adult my worst game is 88 from memory. And my best is 255. I havent bowled under 100 for quite a few years now so im happy about that.

At my local bowling alley they brought in a rule several years ago that if a junior was bowling in an adult league then they would have to pay the full adult rate as opposed to the special junior rate for a certain league. As a former treasurer of a league myself it gave me plenty of...

Well tonight during my league, the same person who jumped ahead of me last week went and did the same thing again tonight to one of the other members of my team and also to someone else on the team who was bowling on the 2 lanes next to us. The person from the other team came over and...

I might have opened up a can of worms so to speak. The reason i started this discussion is when i started bowling as a junior, i was always taught to give way to another bowler who was on the lane next to you and about to have their turn. This was emphasised pretty strongly during...

After reading the discussion on sandbagging in bowling i thought i would start one on bowling etiquette. At my local bowling alley we have just one common courtesy that we tell every bowler in a league. And that is when someone is up on the approach ready to bowl a ball then whoever is...

Only bowled a 527 series last week. A bit dejected that the 600 alluded me again but divide 527 by 3 and you get roughly 175.66, a good series as my average is still around 171. Back to the bowling alley tonight though i might leave for a couple of weeks before make another up date if i...

Feels like it was only yesterday that i finished bowling for 2007. And here it is 7 weeks later and it all starts up again for another year. Even though i'm only halfway through my current league, the new year is a chance to put 2007 behind me and start fresh. and as is the subject of this...

Well tonight is my last chance for this year to get that ever present monkey off my back (bowl a 600 series). I'm confident that i can do it tonight. Yesterday i bowled in a special little tournament called "BOWLER OF THE YEAR". To qualify for this i had to win one of the bowler of the...

Just came home from the bowling alley. Looks like i'll have to wait until next week to bowl a 600 series this year. Mind you i still bowled 525 tonight which pretty consitent with my average. Somebody guy bowled his first 600 series tonight, but his dad told me it was a bit of a fluke, maybe...

Its been a while since i started this thread and also since i last posted a reply. So i thought i would give a quick update. I still havent quite gotten a 600 series yet, but im not letting it get to me. Ive taken on board the advice that most of you have given me and i have to say i...

One of the things i like about this sport is you don't have to be super human fit to be successful at it. But like most other sports it takes a little bit of practice to master certain aspects of it. Some people think you just bowl the ball down the lane in a straight line and hit as many...

Thank you to all for your kind words and advice. I'll take everyones advice on board and i will let you all know when i bowl a 600 series. By the way my best game of 255 was bowled in a local tournament in Port Macquarie and not in my usual monday night league at the same centre. in...

I'm pretty new to this website. So allow me to introduce myself, my name is Matthew and i live in Wauchope NSW. What i would like to know is when most of you bowled your first 600 series. I'm asking this question because i havent bowled one yet i have come close on several occasions...
