Don't think I've ever made it over two hundred.
Probably around 180-190ish.

not very high (130s I think) but I once (when drunk) went strike-spare-strike-spare-strike and then we had to leave the lane - I was gutted!

166 I think. I'm always annoyed at myself if I don't get over 100.

In Hull years ago we could play in the day time for as long as we wanted for £5. We used to leave very limp-wristed but did get some OK scores - over 190 anyway. Was asked to join the Uni bowling team when I played with the captain but he scored over 250 when I played him so thought I wasn't that good - I noticed the good players have their own balls and span them in a lot.

I'd love to turn up with all the gear. Own shoes, ball, little towel polishing rag thing. Few stretches, warm ups etc then put one straight in the gutter ha ha. Actually that'll probably happen but with a borrowed ball and shoes:)

178 for real 🙁 That hurdle of getting past the persistent split pairs or spares to hitting strikes is quite tricky.

236-ish on Wii Sports (much more on the 100-pin bowling though 🙂 )

Beat my Dad with that 178 (years ago) and both parents were in the 200-club.

300 on the Wii... I once got a strike in the real world too. About 160 my real world best iirc.

I think it's just over 200 but I can't remember if that's in real life or on the wii 🙂

Mine was 244 against my then very competitive ops director, not a good result in hindsight 😕

Well normally I score around 160-170 but I took my sons and his friends the other day and scored 204 and totally impressed them all! Obviously I can never go bowling with them again or they'll realise I'm not really that good.
