In the news “Ohio bowler rolls perfect 900 series.”
Billiter, 24, of Colerain Township, rolled three consecutive 300 games Monday night to achieve a perfect 900 series sanctioned by the United States Bowling Congress.(CBS News)
The interesting thing is that let’s say you bowled a perfect 300 game. You would be so incredibly overwhelmed that you would just celebrate.
But you might say, “Well, if I’m this hot, maybe I can get 600.” Then you do get 600! Incredible. Celebrate. No. Try to get NINE HUNDRED.
And you do get 900. Why stop there? Just eight people in the history of bowling have a “U.S. Bowling Congress-certified 900 series”
- Jeremy Sonnenfeld, Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 2, 1997
- Tony Roventini, Milwaukee, Nov. 9, 1998
- Vince Wood, Moreno Valley, Calif., Sept. 29, 1999
- Robby Portalatin, Jackson, Mich., Dec. 28, 2000
- James Hylton, Salem, Ore., May 2, 2001
- Jeff Campbell II, New Castle, Pa., June 12, 2004
- Darren Pomije, New Prague, Minn., Dec. 9, 2004
- Lonnie Billiter Jr., Cincinnati, Ohio, Feb. 13, 2005
But how many people have bowled a 1200 series? Probably none. But congratulations to Lonnie. Incredible!
actually, it’s quite amazing that someone bowls a 900-series almost every year.
Interesting. A typical … maybe even “official” game of bowling is three rounds, hence the 900. I’m not sure anyone would officially recognize a 1200 since that is 1 round and 1 game. What about trying for 1800 which would be two perfect games?
