When I was in Grade 10 (1990) at St Virgils College Barrack Street, as part of our PE Studies we went bowling on and off.
One particulary fortnight we were going bowling for the two consecutive Tuesday's.
So off we headed over the river to the old Mornington Tenpin, and not having my own gear with me, I had to grab an old houseball of the rack.
An old rubber houseball, and amazingly I shot 274 with it. :lol:
When I got back to school, I was flavour of the month, everyone wanted to talk about it, wanted to know everything about the game - I was a star for that week :lol:
The following week, off we went to Mornington again, I had the spring of a PBA Pro in my step.........grabbed the same rubber 14lb houseball, bowling on the same pair...........and shot 104
And didn't I cop it
On the bus all the way back to West Hobart and then back at the Campus.
After lunch we had Computer Studies, and the first I hear when I walked in to the room is the giggling from the gay Computer teacher singing "Matty f****d up at bowliiiing, Matty f****d up at bowliiiing"
Ahhh the high's and lows of bowling :cry:
