Yes, I finally did it. I bowled my first certified 300 game. It was my first game yesterday at Bellefonte Lanes, out by State College.
I was happiest that I did it where and when I did because five of my closest bowling friends were there to see it.
The funny thing about the game was that the automatic scoring goofed and credited me with the 300 before I had thrown the last shot. I saw that and stepped back... I fixed the scoring before I threw the last shot. Something in the back of my head just knew that if I hadn't changed it, I would have jinxed myself and thrown a bad shot.
That last shot was one of the best strikes I've ever thrown. It was more relief than overflowing joy, simply because I had come so close so many times... 4 299's and countless 289's and 279's.
Later that day, I was back on lanes 11 & 12. I almost did it again. Except, I threw the last shot too far outside and ended up with 298.
What a day.
Buckle up,
