Dear Djarum300: In this case, none of that took place, but ABC/USBC approved two 900s by Mushtare anyway. Those fools at Bowling Heaquaters would have approved another two or three 900s by the kid had he claimed to have done so before USBC finally changed the rules on prebowling regarding honor...

[The following column was written on June 20, 2026, by longtime bowling writer Bill Herald] What's the most-impressive and amazing on-the-lanes feat in the history of bowling? It has to be the two USBC-certified 900 series by Robert Mushtare ... right? The bowling world was amazed when news...
