I've forgotten to post this for a while, but I finally got my first 700 series a month ago in league. 193-232-279-704. I opened on the 3-10 in the first frame of the last game, move 2 boards left, and the pins started falling. I tripped the 4 pin forward 5 times in those last 11 strikes. The 279 is also my highest game, besting my 276 from 3 years ago.

I also bowled in the Coca-Cola tournament in Joplin, MO last Saturday. I bowled fairly well, 165-208-229-602 in the singles and 194-171-234-599 for the team portion. Too bad my average going in was 195, so I got almost no handicap. It's still hard to complain when you average 200 over 6 games. The lanes really started to open up for me on the 3rd game of each series. I should have scored better than what I did though, i struggled with spares in the singles portion, and left back to back splits on a bad ball change in the second game of teams, costing me what should have been an easy 200 game. I finished in the middle of the pack in singles, and my team did poorly, as I was the only one on the team who's series was over their average.

My league average was at 191 last week, and I have been bowling really well recently as a whole. My spare shooting is much better, and I've been hitting my mark on strike balls and carrying really well. I'm hoping for more big things coming soon.
