RW> never above 170, although I've bowled 230 games.
 
Last winter league, I began with a 182 average, which plummeted down to 158
at the end.  I think I lost my concentration from beginning to end, but I
have figured out how to shut every sound out and keep my focus on what I'm
trying to accomplish.  My coach would be proud, I think.  I've rolled quite
a few 200+ games since I started bowling again 3 years ago.  Most of the
guys in this league even have perfect games, but they're too long in the
tooth to get them now.  (-:  The USBC was faced with handing out so many
200 game patches, they raised the the awarding of them based on a bowler's
average. I'd have to roll at least a 225 to get a patch now.  I have a few
patches I haven't ironed on yet.
