So I am giving some "awards" like a bowling league might give out at the end of the season. These are for the minor category awards winners (mentioned immediately below)and will be one grab bag pull from the 2X2's in the image shown later in this post. I have no idea at this time what these winners might receive but it's better than a kick in the butt. There is a variety of coins of different denominations, years, condition, mintage states, some being proofs.
Mentioned information was taken from the posts to qualify for these awards (only one 2x2 prize awarded per person - I make the STINKING rules):
High Average - CSW (185)
High Game Scratch - Manorcourtman (300) Your 805 scratch does not win an additional award here.
High Series Scratch - DWSSWS (784)
High Game Handicap - 100Proof1957 (301) Mention of Johnny Petraglia, LT-48s, and Lind shoes does not qualify for an additional award. (Although I approve of all the above)

Also have duckpin bowled. In fact, I have a duckpin ball sitting right here that I "borrowed" from an alley a few years ago.
Tom
I think I bowled duckpin once in my life. I was originally from western Massacusetts, so I was brought up on Candlepin and Tenpin.
I'm in Florida now, but I always thought a Duckpin and Candlepin house would do well in a tourist environment!!
Thanks for entering!!

Heres my sad and pathetic story, I'm a bit of a germaphobe so I went out and purchased a pr of bowling shoes...
But it didn't start there, when I was young, I has a skating date (Yes, that says a skating date as in roller skating) I went and purchased a pair of skates just for that date... Sad isn't it?
There, theres a laugh for ya
My wife and I went bowling on one of our first dates. She was not much of a bowler and quite a tiny little thing, we had quite a laugh as she struggled to throw that 8 pound ball down the lane. I don't think her final score broke 30. We married a few years later.

I use to bowl league a few years ago. We were out bowling with some friends of ours who hardly ever bowled and after I won the first game, one of the friends that was there challenged me to bowl left-handed so they stood a chance. I still beat him 117 to 114. Needless to say I laughed my posterior off because it was shear luck, and he never wanted to bowl with us again. High game was a 242 and I backed that up nicely with a 167 and a 124. Talk about consistency.

I used to bowl sometimes, but never was any good at it. I did ok sometimes, but never real good. I think that it's a good way to get out and get some exercise and forget your problems/clear your head/take out frustrations, etc.!! Congrats on your 300, and hope you get many of those scores in the future as well.

Brewers, Bucks, Beer, Bratwurst, and BOWLING!
I'm not much of a bowler. Lucky if I get up near 200 once in a while.

or should I say I ACCUMULATE!
I also dabble with the darkside
Ive recently gotten more into currency, especially modern star notes
As for bowling, my specialty is gutterballs.

POTD - May 26, 2005
back in early 80's entered a qualifying tournament for the Las Vegas Invitational, top three seeds got a shot at the pros. Bowled 784 scratch series and didn't make top 10. Haven't bowled now in almost 25 years.
myCCset
btw...I used to bowl...before playing basketball kept spraining my fingers too bad to bowl
Used to carry only a 160+ average. High game was only 221. But, I don't feel bad......learned it myself and learned it as someone who does not have depth perception.
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

My alltime favorite pro bowler was Earl Anthony, who wore a flat top when it was not very fashionable... But boy could he consistently bowl well..
Back when I was bowling in a league, one day it seemed like I could do no worng and bowled my only 600 series ever. It was always tough for me to even bowl a single game over 200, so the 600 series was a great thrill!!
