Actually, it's a lot more common for folk to bowl 300 in tenpins. Improved equipment and lane oiling have upped the average score a fair amount, and while still a significant feat 300 happens a lot more often than a golf hole-in-one (except on the pro tour, where they make the lane conditions more difficult).

I'm bemused by calling it "Candlepins for Dollars"; darn it, we want to be sure you know it isn't just people doing this for the heck of it. There's "dollars" involved!

Seriously, it's not "Basketball for Dollars", "Hockey for Dollars", "Baseball for a Whole Lot of Dollars, At Least If We're Talking the Red Sox or Yankees".
