Believe it or not a 78 year old blind man bowled a 300 game last week. Just heard it on Dan Patrick.
AMAZING!
AMAZING!

Gotta love the headline
An old guy that can beat you in bolwing (and he's blind!)
Somebody can't spell.

Although this should put any debate to rest as to whether bowling is a legitimate sport.
Name me one sport in the world <ul type="square"> football hockey basketball baseball auto racing golf soccer tennis horse racing lacrosse cricket rugby surfing volleyball skiing track & field boxing & MMA cycling swimming diving water polo fencing gymnastics weightlifting field hockey softball bobsledding luge speed skating figure skating [/list]
where a 78-yr. old blind guy can obtain a perfect (or the best possible) score or basically a score that would beat professionals who make a living from the sport.

Darts could be a potential sport for a blind guy to perfect.

but he didn't bowl on a professional lane conditions, so you can't compare the two..

^^^ thats crap... if its league bowloff night, like stated in the article, chances are VERY good that PBA oil patterns were used. I know the two lanes I bowl at do so...
this is MORE than comparable. Even with sissy oil configs do you realize how hard it is to roll a 300? Pros have a hard time doing it and most peeps will bowl their entire lives and never even come close.

very few leagues use the PBA patterns.
Pros would annihilate a "sissy oil config"..maybe not a 300 but at least a 270.
I'm not saying his accomplishment isn't awesome...I'm saying you can't compare his score on house pattern (which it more than likely was) to a pro's score.

Most disc golfers have a completely different understanding/interpretation for the term <font color="green">"Bowl</font>ing."
