Wow..something inspirational happens, and time to slam bowling yet again..  I am sure it takes years of practice to get good at bowing with a wheelchair, and I say congrats to him.  Maybe it proves bowling is the everyman's sport?

The thing I don't understand is your in the business, and run your own Pro Shop.

So are you saying your in a joke of an industry?

I agree with Russell, as usual. I swear some of you guys sit down to urinate and/or have sand in your panties. Great accomplishment for the Bowler, but another follie for the sport on a aggregate level.

It's another example of people that are good bowlers, trying to knock down another lesser bowler's accomplishment. It's not the same game anymore...Get over it!

I think it's an accomplishment!  Consider that most of our power should be generated with our legs... Yeah, it's an accomplishment in my book.

Didn't say bowling from a chair was easy....just saying the game is becoming a joke....a punchline....is the truth that hard to swallow?

Do I own a shop....yes....do I plan on owning it in 5 years?...no.  I plan on selling the shop the minute I graduate from college and move on to an industry that won't be completely dead in 20 years.  The shop is a means to an end for me...I love the game...but hate what it has become.

Somehow I just don't think it is a joke or punch line for this wheelchair bowler, he evidently loves bowling and isn't allowing a wheelchair to stop him from participating in bowling. Oh by the way this just happens to be the 1 and only 300 sanctioned game bowled by someone in a wheelchair and it just looks like you could give the man credit for what he did.

How about a hole in one from someone in a wheelchair and a 79 at St. Andrews in Scotland?

http://espn.go.com/espn/e60/story/_/id/6781849/tennessee-golfer-becomes-first-play-old-course-st-andrews-wheelchair

It doesn't meet the 62 criteria set forth earlier but maybe this means golf's a joke now too... Or maybe both should be celebrated for the achievements they are.

79 is not even close to perfection....which can't quite be defined in golf.  Bowling has a max score...which shouldn't be attained as easily as it is today....

Russell - Dose that mean all your 300's and 800's were a JOKE?

You're misrepresenting my statement....I never said his 300 was a joke...I said that bowling was becoming a joke.  I am happy for the guy shooting 300...really I am...I just think the score is FAR to commonplace now.

To answer your question...no they aren't jokes....but NOWHERE near as meaningful as ones shot 25+ years ago.
