In the history of sports, before tiger woods, bowling has been compared to golf.  

How many bowlers out there are also golfers?  

What is your bowling handicap vs. your golfers handicap?  Does anyone have a 0 for both?

What would be equivalent to a 300 game in golf?  Hole in 1?  That case how many who have both?

I was going to take up golf last summer, but a concussion kept me out.
--------------------
High game 300
High series 804
High triplicate 774
High average 221
best game. when I was 6 I bowled a 158

i do both, i suck at golf, i get about 13-17 pins per game in bowling depending

Do both suck at both!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd say a 59 or maybe 58 anywhere on a regulation par 72(over 6000 yards) = 900 in bowling.

Also as a guy who has been fortunate enough to have a bunch of scores in the 60s and a bunch in the sub 30s for 9......a 64 in golf is very much more rare than 300s in bowling.  I would liken 64s in golf to being very similar to 800s in bowling.

PS ummmmm 300s in bowling....a lot like shooting 34 for 9 holes on any par 36 course.......

I cary a 4 handicap oand a 230 average (on house shots). There is no way to compare golf to bowling. Yes, both have high tech equipment, but short of putting large fans down both sides of the fairway and funneling the greens, which woulld simulate house patterns in bolwing, you can't compare. Lets face it, the lane man can make you otr break you, but in golf it's you and the course. And as to the equipment, i could take a 170 average bowler (who has a bit of ability), using a house ball, fit him with a high tech missle, work with him for a few weeks and viola!!!! he's probably 190-200. Take a 20 handicapper using crap clubs, fit him with a $2,000 dollar set and give him 5 lessons, how much better is he gonna get? He may hit it further, but in what direction? Guess you get my point. Cant compare 'em, not nowadays at least.

If you blame the lane conditions for your bad scores, then you had better thank them for your good ones!!

+3 in golf, 198 in bowling.  A hole in one would probably be a good comparison to a 300.  My low round at my home course is 60 and I missed an easy par 5.  I would say that round would compare to a great bowlers 850+ set, or in other words their career high.  There's too many variables to really compare both not to mention even trying to compare the 60 I shot to the 66 I shot at Firestone South, which I'm much more proud of the 66.  Anyway I'm babbling so I'll shut up now.  Needless to say, I think golf is a much tougher sport to be great at, if not the toughest of any.

That course isn't that hard in complete actuality.

Difficult, but nothing that would keep a 2-handicap from shooting under 80.

Q-school will KILL a state amateur champion...seriously.  Completely different ballgame out there.  I qualified for the Nationwide Tour Virginia Beach Open in 06...and their games are on a different level than even the best college teams (and thus state amateur champs ).  Q-school and any professional tour of golf, is nearly IMPOSSIBLE for those of us who have actually shot rediculously low scores, and have course records.

I would never think of going to Q-school.  I might play some more Monday qualifiers for Nationwide events...but that's about it lol.

66 at Firestone south is incredible and similar performance to 800 series on a sport pattern.   You have to be a state amateur champion level player at the minimum!  Please let us know when you try for the golf Qualifying school.

a hole in one and a 300 game have little relation Maybe hitting 12 drives in a row in the fairway might be the best analogy....
