       [glow=red,2,300]Horrific Bowling Accident! Bowler Denied Perfect
       300 Game [/glow]

       > The 300 game in bowling is the pinnacle of perfection, 12
       straight strikes delivered without a slip. Few people ever get
       to the point where they're preparing for their 12th and final
       roll with a chance at immortality.
       >
       > Troy Walker was one such person. And the way he was denied his
       300 has to go down as one of the more agonizing moments in
       bowling history.
       >
       > Walker was playing in the Luci Bonneau Doubles, a charity
       event held this past weekend in Houston. As you can see in the
       video above, the rack dropped before the ball could hit the
       pins! That's like a squirrel stealing your ball on the 18th
       green at Augusta. So unfair. So absolutely unfair. When Walker
       got the chance to roll again, he only knocked down seven pins,
       closing with a 297. Worst of all? Walker acknowledged that he
       might have caused the mistake himself by asking for a re-rack of
       the lane next to him.
       >
       > The odds of a perfect 300 game depend on the skill of the
       bowler slinging the ball. Perfect games happen relatively
       frequently in professional bowling events; five players have
       bowled eight perfect games in a season, according to the
       Professional Bowlers' Association. For perspective: a bowler who
       averages seven strikes per game, which would be a professional
       record, has about a 1 percent chance of ever rolling a perfect
       game. So, yeah, it's not happening for you ... and, sadly, it
       may not happen for Troy Walker ever again.

       > "Something to talk about," Walker said afterward. "Won't
       forget that one."

       Ugh. That hurts. I use to be an avid bowler when I was in
       Elementary and Junior High School. I went bowling with my
       Grandpa all the time and was even in a league. So, I do have
       some experience as a bowler and THIS is definitely tragic for
       anyone that close to getting a perfect game.
