Candlepin Bowling - Paul Berger's Legendary 500 Triple (1)






It was Might of 1992, and Paul Berger was on Television for the 43rd time, and he had to face off against defending champion Dave Richards. What no one was expecting that day was that Paul Berger would make history by bring the only individual to hit a 500 Triple up to this day on Tv. With unbelievable shots, numerous strikes, and a wonderful crowd, this stands out as my all time favorite Candlepin Bowling telecast, and I'm sure you'll like it too. Here is component 1 of Paul Berger vs. Dave Richards. (Please ignore the commercials at the beginning of this telecasr) Take pleasure in! :)

    I bowl regular 10 pin in Ontario, but am moving out to Halifax in September, and found out they have 8 bowling alleys, all of them Candlepin. I didn't know it was that huge out there. But apparently it is, so I guess I will be bowling this next few years. All I know is my average will drop massively, much harder...

    this game looks pretty interesting - especially the part about leaving the dead wood. I'll have to try this out some time.

    @TheMusicjuice -- A game in which every frame is a 10 or a mark (spare/strike) is considered a perfect game... not easy to attain...
