I started bowling when I was about seven years old, and I have been bowling ever since.  My father , along with a few youth bowling coaches, taught me the basics; I learned the rest on my own.

My Proudest Moment . . .

My proudest moment was the night I shot my first (and only) 800 series, mostly because I never imagined I would ever achieve such a lofty goal in my life.  Coming in a close second is the fact that I have converted the 7-10 split not once, but twice.

My Most Embarrassing Moment . . .

While I hate to admit it, while bowling in a junior bowling tournament at Town and Country Lanes, I actually forgot how to bowl.  For two full games, I could not for the life of me remember how to begin my delivery so that I ended up on the correct sliding foot . . . and boy, did I look silly!

My Most Frustrating Moment . . .

I think I have one of those every time I pick up a bowling ball.  But every time I feel frustration setting in, I remind myself that bowling is supposed to be fun, regardless of whether you're open bowling, bowling in league, or competing in a tournament.  If you're going to get frustrated every time you bowl, you should probably rethink whether or not you should be bowling in the first place.

My Quote for Everyone . . .

Bowling should be fun and enjoyable -- always remember this.  Life is too short, and before you know it, it could all be gone, so take the time to enjoy every moment.
