A 78-year-old legally blind man from northwest
Iowa has bowled a perfect game.
Alta resident Dale Davis nailed 12 consecutive strikes and
reached 300 on Saturday night during league play. Davis has limited
peripheral vision but can't see straight ahead.
Century Lanes owner Clem Ledoux said Thursday that Davis' game
didn't draw much attention until he reached 10 strikes. That's when
folks poured out of the bar to watch his final two shots.
Ledoux said Davis threw a "Brooklyn," where a right-hander
strikes the left side of the head pin, for his final strike. The
feat brought wild cheers from Davis' fellow bowlers and onlookers.
It's the first 300 Ledoux could recall at the alley since he
took over in 1984.
