I am 16, almost 17, and from the way people talk about bowling the way it USED to be, I feel bad for the people in my generation. Its so bad now, that I am embarassed to wear a patch that says 100 pins over average, or 250 game, or 650 series. I CONSTANTLY feel like I should be doing better, especially when I am at tournaments with kids that have been bowling their whole lives. I was wearing my tournament shirt at the last one I was at, and I have 2 patches on it. One on each sleeve. One is a 650 series patch and one is a 100 pins over average game patch. I was at a restaraunt with a bunch of people afterwards, and one of the girls jokingly said "oh I see your doing the same thing as me with your shirt, putting all the bad patches on". Well....I felt like an utter IDIOT, because those are the best I've done, and here she is, along with like everyone else basically that bowls in these tournaments saying thats bad to them. I felt like crap. I just feel its not fair for my generation to NOT be able to take pride in a good game or series becase of how easy conditions are now. Its not fair that when I shoot my best series or game ever I get laughed at for wearing a patch for it.
