I didn't start bowling regularly till a friend of mine got me in a Friday night league a year ago. Averaged 150, high scratch score of 198. Now I break 200 every so often with a high of 220 but I play like once every couple months as things had been busy for me. Fall league starts next month so I've been trying to get some practice in.

yeah, lol. i think he was trying to knock the guy for saying "well, I tried to bowl a 200...". Actually, most folks are trying to bowl a 300. There's no way to "try to get 200". But yeah, the way he said it was dumb.

Over 100 for a beer drinking non bowler means you were likely at least a high school athlete

Under 100 means you were in band

Over 150 means you actually were a good athlete or are a terrible athlete that secretly bowls a lot


Over 200 means you bowl a shite ton, and you may or may not be a good athlete, but you at least aren’t completely unathletic. More tests are needed to determine absolute athletic ability

I bowled a shite ton when I was growing up. The little brother of one of my friends who used to bowl with us became a PBA bowler and won a bunch of tournaments on the PBA tour and I used to roll higher scores than him. Granted, I was 13 and he was 10.

I'd say if you can bowl 150 consistently you're decent.

no, i averaged 208 my last year in a beer drinking league and i'm not close 2 pro. it's been 18 years since i was in a league


The oil patterns in a beer league are going to be exponentially easier to play than a pro pattern.

I thought it was cool to shoot a 300, but it's nothing i would pound my chest over




I think it's pretty awesome. You did the best anyone can do in a sport

My highest was a 256. My buddy came close with a 287

If I close out a few frames and break 100, I go home happy.
