When you get three strikes in a row why do they call it a turkey? Well, in the early years of bowling getting three strikes in a row was not a very common occurance. When a person did accomplish this feat the owner of the establishment would award them with a turkey, a live turkey. Receiving a live turkey for three in a row has since ceased but the term has remained. Now you know.
The score recorded the fewest times in bowling is...................................292. The only way to get this score is to get 11 strikes in a row and on the last ball get only two pins. You know how hard is is to get 11 strikes but then to get only two pins on the last ball has to be almost impossible. The next time I have 11 in a row I'll see if I can get a 292.
