I've never shot 800. That's hard to do. Very nice.

That's so true. Bowling used to be a cheap way to take the family out for an afternoon (or evening). Now it costs almost $70 for a family of 4 to bowl 3 games. Our lanes offer a deal on Sunday evenings, where it's $2.50 a game but who wants to go out on a Sunday evening?
I've been bowling since I was a kid. Stopped for a number of years, then joined a morning women's league when my daughter was 19 months old because they had babysitting. 16 years later, I'm still on the same league. A lot of people have come and gone, and we're down to 6 teams from 16 when I started, but it's fun and I look forward to it every week.
My average is 149, not great, but I'm pretty consistent at least.
PQ, I notice you're a righty but your approach is that of a lefty. I bowl the same way because I've been told I throw like a lefty, so I have to stand all the way to the left. I shoot pool lefty too, which is weird, but I never knew I wasn't shooting righty till someone pointed it out. lol
