  • Bowling, a Pastime Long Associated with Blue-Collar Americans
    36 2 0 1 1 N UMBER 4 | E NGLISH T EACHING F ORUM by Phyllis McIntosh Art might seem to have little in common with bowling, a pastime long associated with blue-collar Americans. A bowling alley (the traditional name for a bowling establishment) is the last place one would expect to find an art gallery. But Lucky Strike, a chain of chic upscale bowling centers, proudly claims its passion for the arts. Its lanes and lounges in 22 cities nationwide are famous for their ever-changing video displays of works by dozens of emerging artists. Lucky Strike’s innovation is just one example of bowling’s dramatic transformation over the past few decades. Once a no-frills sport played mostly by lower-middle-income workers in sponsored leagues, bowling has become the centerpiece of high-tech family entertainment complexes and fancy clubs that appeal to trendy urbanites. As a result, bowling is enjoying a resurgence in popularity, especially among the young. According to the United States Bowling Congress (USBC), more than 70 million Americans bowl each year, which makes bowling one of the most popular participation sports in the United States. The Golden Age of Bowling Of all American pastimes, bowling is one of the easiest to pursue. Just show up at Bowlers are required to the neighborhood bowling center, rent the required shoes, use the balls provided, and wear shoes like these, which won’t mar the floor of the pay a reasonable fee to bowl as many games as you like.

  • Welcome to the Wonderful World of Bowling
    Chapter 1 Welcome to the Wonderful World of Bowling In This Chapter ▶ Reviewing the finer points of bowling ▶ Enjoying the social benefits of the sport ▶ Looking at bowling as a form of cardiovascular and strength-training exercise very year, millions of people go bowling and have a great time with their Efamily and friends. Bowling is a sport that just about anyone can play, you can enjoy it year-round, it’s easy to learn (not to mention affordable), and you can get started right away without having to buy any special equip- ment. All you have to do is walk into your local center, rent some shoes, borrow a ball, and you’re ready to go. Consider this chapter your introduction to the sport of bowling. In it we give you an overview of the various aspects of the game and highlight its mental and physical benefits. Figuring Out How the Game Works Several typesCOPYRIGHTED of bowling exist, including MATERIALduckpin, five pin, and candlepin. In this book, however, we focus on ten-pin bowling because that’s the most popular version of the sport in the United States. Ten-pin bowling involves knocking down bowling pins with a bowling ball. The pins are set up in a triangle at the end of a lane that’s 60 feet long. Your task is to stand behind what’s called the foul line (if you cross it, you don’t get any points), throw the ball down the lane, and try to knock down all the pins. You earn points for each pin you knock down, plus bonus points if you throw well enough to knock down all the pins with one shot.
