Three kinds actually. The third is the type that had an overzealous sporting parent who forced it down their kids throat only to make them hate it. lol.

I've been bowling and playing golf since I could barely walk. I was a scratch bowler by the time I was 12 and hanging on the course with my Dad and his pro golfing buddies by the time I was 15. He pushed me so hard on them both that I really came to hate them both. I got heavy into my martial arts and he hated it SO much. Told me I was throwing away my "million dollar arms." He's still bitter about it to this day and we didn't talk for over seven years because of it. I went out on tour for a lil while with bowling, but I fought him the whole way on golf. I hated how much of my time it took up and how hard he pushed that crap on me.

Average where? Kinda broad question there. My league average was usually anywhere from 215 in a crappy house to as high as 248. Averaged 233 inthe regionals. Shot my first 300/800 when I was 14 and lost count how many since then.

At a decent house with league oil, not house oil.

The 300 has still evaded me. I shot a 299 as my highest. You have no clue how pissed I was. I didn't start bowling until I was 13 years old. Haven't played in forever... I really need to hit up the lanes, again.

299 is still great but yea I bet you were like come on, really? My best was a 268 a few years back, I bet I'd be lucky to break 150 now. Lol
