Dutch 200
n.— «Brian Basacker pulled off a bowling rarity when he posted what’s known in lanes parlance as a “Dutch 200″ game in the Happy Fours summer league at Sonora Family Bowl. It’s a game in which the bowler alternates strikes and spares in each of the 10 frames.» —“Roundup: ‘Dutch’ bowling oddity” Union Democrat (Sonora, California) Aug. 3, 2006.
