Perfect game at holiday tourney

Gerald Danzuka has a new
ring to highlight a recent bowl
ing accomplishment.
Danzuka bowled a perfect
300 during a game at the annual
holiday tournam ent at Lava
Lanes in Bend and receive his
commemorative ring in the mail
recently.
Danzuka, who works as a
judge at Tribal Court, said be
fore that point his highest score
was about 277.
H e’s been bowling for nearly
24 years after taking up the
hobby in high school.
For a high school physical
education course, Danzuka said,
he was required to participate
in bowling. After that he chose
to continue and bowled in stu
dent leagues in college.
Now he bowls once a week,
at least, Danzuka said, and all
three o f his children bowl as
Gerald Danzuka
well. This particular occasion
was especially important to him,
because of who he dedicated
his game to.
“I think this one is a really
sentimental one,” Danzuka ex
plained. “Before I w ent up,
mentally I felt like something
good was going to happen.”
For that reason, D anzuka
chose to dedicate that game to
his late ex-mother-in-law, who is
also the grandm other o f his
children.
“I thought, well, if anything
good comes I’ll honor the kids’
grandmother,” Danzuka said.
In general, the perfect 300 is
something Danzuka has always
strived to accomplish.
“To me it was just unbeliev
able,” D anzuka said. “ O f
course the next day I couldn’t
bowl worth beans.”
Danzuka still managed to fin
ish the tournam ent relatively
well—-he finished 4th in the Big
Dog challenge, and just below
the top ten in singles, doubles
and with his team.
Danzuka would like to ex
press his appreciation to Austin
Greene and family for organiz
ing the tournament.
H e encourages o th ers to
take up bowling as a hobby as
well. “For me it really has just
been a source o f enjoyment,”
Danzuka said. “It’s a challenge.
N o two games are ever the
same.”
