Thought I'd share this...

A TV station report out of Iowa said that 78-year-old Dale Davis of Alta, IA, who is legally blind, rolled a perfect 300 game in one of his leagues at Century Lanes. It was not only his first 300 game, but also the first ever bowled at the center.

A comment in my blog (where I also posted this) pointed me to the full story today on the Storm Lake Times' site.

EDIT: For the archives, the page as cached on Google can be found here.

I guess the rest of the bowlers there don't have much of an excuese for not having a 300 ring or two of their own.

Good for him! Nice!

Not to confused the ex. pro bowler same name

I am mildly surprised that the legally blind bowler's 300 game was the first in that house. Although he can't see the pins I wonder if he can spot bowl close to the foul line. My 85 year old mother has exactly the same condition(macular degeneration plus cataracts) but has peripheral vision and can still watch television close up and sign bills.

A more permanent, but detailed, version of the story has been posted on CBS.com.
