Bowling Scene
Wisconsin bowler rolls 900 series Last week, I reported on the record for the youngest person ever to bowl a 300 game.
Well, I just recently came across another amazing feat. Mark Wukoman, of Franklin, Wis., rolled three 300 in a row for a 900 series. That’s like having two or more holes-in-one in one round of golf or hurling two no-hitters and/or perfect games consecutively in the sport of baseball.
He accomplished this feat during his regular league night on Saturday, April 22. He collapsed on the approach as he was throwing the strike that completed the streak. It was only the ninth official 900 series in the 111-year history of certified league bowling.
The United States Bowling Congress approved his perfect series last Friday morning.
Wukoman attributed the USBC Sport Bowling program for his historic performance. Sport Bowling is a series of leagues and tournaments conducted on challenging lane conditions that rewards skillful shot-making, consistency and spare shooting.
That sounds like a great way to improve and fine-tune one’s bowling skills.
Another note on 900 series: There was also one rolled only a little more than two months before Wukoman’s. That was accomplished by Lonnie Billiter, Jr. of Fairfield, Ohio. Here are this week’s scores:
