Summary: Bowling is an ancient game that is a professional and amateur sport in today’s culture. Believed to have originated in Germany, the main object of bowling is to knock down as many pins as possible with a weighted bowling ball. American ten-pin bowling is the most common type of bowling among competitors and pros. There are many other types of indoor and outdoor bowling including nine-pin skittles, candlepin bowling, cocked-hat bowling, Bocce, and lawn bowls. In most forms of bowling, the bowler rolls the bowling ball towards the pins down a lane that is guarded by a gutter on either side. Each frame of scoring allows the player two balls or two tries to knock down the pins. If the player knocks down all the pins in the first try, it is called a strike. If the player knocks down all of the pins in the first frame with the use of both balls, this is called a spare.
