If you’re going to throw 100 on TV, at least Daugherty did it in a match that he wasn’t gonna win anyway because his opponent put up a 299. It’d suck way worse to lose 299-267 or 169-100.

[@Whoopdido777]

@@iceman5117 That’s right. Even Tiger Woods, during his absolute prime, in 2002 shot 81 at the British Open. He had already won the Masters and U.S. Open and was only 2 strokes off the lead after 36 holes. The playing conditions were nasty in the 3rd round. Lots of rain and wind, but only three players shot higher than Tiger’s 81. But then he shot 6 under the next day to only finish 6 shots behind and in 28th place. He shot 70-68-81-65.

[@gwencrawford737]

Even before these 'kids'... I saw Earl Anthony throw something along the lines of a 140 on TV once. Earl Anthony was the guy who, when people saw him at a tournament, they automatically assumed he was going to be on the show, so there were only 4 other spots to win from, instead of the five spots. So watching Earl throw a stinker, was nothing short of JAW DROPPING. He was the LAST guy you'd have picked to throw a game like that.

Nice honorable mention on Dennis Jacques. Speaking of, he shot the lowest game in the championship match to win a title back in 1983. It was at the Molson Open in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. He bowled a 157 to beat Sam Zurich by one pin. Funny thing is that Dennis averaged over 230 and was the Tournament Leader. I believe that you can find that match on KZbin.

[@jameslong9564]

The funniest thing about these pros is they refuse to adjust their shot.

[@BluesDeville]

Most of them can't because their balls are drilled in such a pattern and they use so much of the lane for their normal throw to compensate for offset drilling that it doesn't allow for much adjustment room. That's why the old second-arrow down-and-in strokers could adjust better than the modern crankers. All a down-and-in stroker typically has to do is move over a few boards one way or the other to find the oil. Of course, with more crankers out their laying weird tracks in the oil, it's harder for anyone to adjust.

[@Igloo3471]

My kid just asked me how I got good at bowling. I almost laughed. My average is 100. 😂😂😂

[@BluesDeville]

Back in the 90's, I was on my way to an 800 series in a sanctioned tournament. I rolled a 269, then a 279...then a whopping 126 in the last game for a 674 series. The lane oil really started breaking down on the right side in the last couple frames of game 2 and first few frames of game 3, and then went to complete shit for both myself and my opponent by the 4th frame. I was throwing a 13lb Burgundy Hammer at the time, and I couldn't throw it fast and flat enough to keep it from breaking over to the high side during that last game. Even my plastic spare ball wanted to hook, but not enough to be useful. I promptly bought a black hammer after the tournament to fill the gap.

[@stormieinapril9626]

It never dawned on me when the lanes do that to throw it up flat. Nice series…even with the 126.

Wouldn't be Tim Criss. He had 28 TV appearances for five national titles and was runner-up four times between 1994 and 2007. Lowest game ever shot on TV prior to Tom Dougherty shooting 100 against Mika was 129 by Steve Jaros against Mike Edwards in the 1992 Brunswick World Open. Roy Buckley held the record for 20 years with a 131 at the 1972 Buckeye Open in Toledo, OH. Steve Neff shot 133 at the 1979 Firestone TOC in Fairlawn. Joe Staton rolled 133 against Dennis Jacques at the 1983 Miller High Life Classic in Anaheim, CA. Marshall Holman shot 134 against Pete Weber in the 1989 A&W Fairlanes Open in Phoenix, AZ. Dave Husted shot 135 in Columbus OH in 1987 against Leroy Bornhop. I think Dom Barrett from England had a 129 some years after Daugherty's 100 IIRC.

Hard not to notice how when the scores are this low, BOTH players are almost always doing bad. It’s important to be able adjust to different oil patterns and playing conditions, but in most cases when pros are both playing this miserably it is due to either a botched oil job or unorthodox pattern.
