Bowling's gotta be easier than golf. No weather, wind, water, rough, trees, or sand.
Every hole is different in golf. Long shots, shot shots, very short shots.
In bowling, there are always ten pins. The alleys are dead level. The distance is always the same.
Even pool requires more shot making and combinations. With the exception of making a wide split, it's a knock-'em down game.
OK, A hole-in-one verses a 300 game:
Hole-in-one's are made by golfers that get lucky.
It's a good shot that got lucky. The greenskeeper just happened to cut the hole in the right place. Tommorow, the same shot yields no celebration. Now, two hole-in-one's on the same day that's something special; but, it always a case of a very good golfer getting close and lucky. It's happened several times.
A 300 game requires luck and skill. There is always a strike in any good game that is a gift, just as many good pocket hits result in stingers. Ask my friend Steve. However, a 300 game requires the bowler to roll three consecutive strikes in the tenth frame. It doesn't just happen like a hole-in-one. You must make it happen. Scary stuff! Despite the tension, there are quite a few bowlers that have bowled 3- 300 games in a row. WOW!
In conclusion, making a putt on the 18th hole to win the match comes much closer to a 300 game as a personal challenge, just because 'you must make it happen.'
The following movie clip demonstrates the classic four-step approach.
It was a great season. One that I do not expect to repeat.
