My dad bowled a few 300’s in real life. He used to travel around when I was a kid, and was on TV for local events and stuff. He even had sponsorships and all that stuff. And then there was me… I bowled in a league for 9 years, and I didn’t bowl my first 200 game until i was in college 
My dad was able to give my mom one of his 300 rings as a gift though. Not many people get to do that
