A perfect game in bowling is rare enough. Turning the trick without even seeing the pins? That's a new one.

Dale Davis, a 78-year-old man who lost his vision years ago to macular degeneration, bowled a perfect 300-game Saturday in the Iowa town of Alta, according to a local report.

"It was quite a thrill," Davis told the Storm Lake Times in Storm Lake, Iowa. "When I got to the tenth frame, I said 'Lord, let me throw three more good balls.' When I did, people on other teams were yelling and cheering. A few guys were hugging me and almost broke my skinny bones."


This just makes the story of Barack Obama bowling a 37 all the more embarrassing.

Maybe Obama needs to take some bowling lessons from this guy. LOL. Honestly, to bowl a 300 game is a feat unto itself but to do it when you have an impairment such as being blind is even more incredible.

Congrats to this guy.
