Blind bowler rolls perfect game in Iowa
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 said, "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." "I can't see the lane or the pins and have a heck of a time finding my ball sometimes," Davis, who still has a small spot of peripheral vision remaining, said. "I can kinda see the dots on the floor to know where I start. After that, I rely on my hearing and other people to tell me what's going on."
