Which is harder, bowling a 300 game or hitting a hole in one?
According to mathematicians, the odds of any adult male bowling a 300 game are 11,500 to 1. The odds of a professional PBA bowler rolling a perfect game are 460 to 1. The odds of an average adult male making a hole in one are 12,000 to 1. The odds of a professional PGA golfer making an ace are 3,000 to 1.
