I made the 7-10 in duckpin bowling when I was about 12…does that count?

I was sort of pressed into joining a team when I was about 19; I had never bowled a game in my life before then. Anyway, I actually did the 7-10 pickup in maybe the third or fourth frame. I didn’t think anything of it until the other people started yapping. I haven’t done it since, I know that much.
