They're tough, but too many are strictly numbers questions.  Bowling, like nearly every other modern sport, has as many numbers as you want to think about.  Like the guy who remembers that John Pitcher struck out 54 batters over the course of a season when it's neither memorable, record-setting, nor legendary, knowing that the top seed has won X consecutive US Opens is largely meaningless.

I like the WRW "How many 300s" one, but it'd be more interesting if you knew WHO did it.  Knowing the former is hard because mountains of numbers are hard to keep straight.  Knowing the latter is real knowledge.

Check your answer to #9 as they have the letters mixed up....I had the right person, but they listed the wrong letter with the nam


I thought something was wrong.  I wrote my answers down and knew who it was, but when I looked at the answer, I saw the name and was right but figured I had written the wrong letter down on accident.

4 out of 10, all of them were guesses except for the Parker Bohn one.
