Just wanted to tell everyone about my once in a lifetime night.
I bowl in a men's league in Kent, ohio on Thursday nights.
Last night I had the kind of night you dream about. I got some great advice from an older bowler in the league. A woman I bowl with against in another league bowled a 299 in the early league that night. I was lamenting that I have never had an honor score at all. He told me to just relax on the lane and talk myself through the shots. WELL...Game one..started with a turkey then in frame four I didn't follow the advice..just threw the ball..and got a 6-7-10 split. DARN. Picked up two pins and went back to talking through every shot. Then it happened. 20 strikes in a row. Finished game one with 8 in a row then got my 300 in game two. 265-300 first two games..wow. First ball 3rd game my blood was still pumping and I yanked the shot. Left two pins and covered the spare.....then went off the sheet for a 290.
That's right..265-300-290 for a heart stopping 855 series. I fell to my knees after the last shot and could barely get up.
Thanx for letting me brag a little..lol..keep putting ten in the pit

Thanx for all the support guys. I throw a MoRich Total Shock and Awe 15lbs. I didn't move one board all night last night which is really strange for our house. Started the night in practice standing where I always do..right foot on 26 board..then move left four boards in practice. I'm not a spot bowler at all..which some people hate about me..I tell them I just aim as an area and let her run. Now I'm just trying to keep my average in my other league at 230. I'm currently at 229 and want to be at least one of the top 3 averages in our center.
Keep putting them in the pit

Great shooting. Nice way to get your first honor scores, two in the same night. Keep up the good work. You can never top that post. You should retire on top with that post. Just kidding.
