Legally Blind 94-Year-Old Woman Bowls A 224...Meanwhile, I'm a perfectly healthy 29-year-old, and I've broken 200 exactly ONCE in my life.
CENTRALIA, Wash. - Esther Medley of Centralia is legally blind, but when she bowls she can glimpse a bit of the floor to line up with the lane.In my defense, I do wear contact lenses...
Medley, 94, can't see straight ahead, so her 86-year-old husband Ralph tells her which pins are left after her first ball.
That's how Medley recently bowled a score of 244, which included eight strikes, at Fairway Lanes in Centralia. It was the second-highest score of the year for her league.
