  • The First Televised 300 Game Was Rolled by Jack Biondolillo on April 1, 1967
    The First Televised 300 Game Was Rolled By Jack Biondolillo On April 1, 1967. On the second Saturday in August, National Bowling Day encourages everyone to set up the pins. Now go throw strikes! While bowling style games likely existed in ancient civilizations, we probably owe the modern game of bowling to Germany. Kegels were used much like batons for protection or sport. Participants would place the kegels at the end of an alley. Each person then rolled a stone, attempting to knock down the kegels. It was believed that by knocking down the kegel, their sins would be forgiven. Other lawn games such as bocce and petanque may also be precursors to bowling. One such bowling game was called ninepins. American literature first mentions ninepins in Washington Irving’s Rip Van Winkle. Bowling began using a ball without holes. The bowler would place the ball between their legs and then slide on their stomach to push the ball towards the pins. “Knickerbockers” in New York is the first indoor bowling alley, built in 1840. Bowling began as a 9 pin game. The game moved to the traditional 10 pins since the 9 pin game had been outlawed because of its link to gambling and drinking. It is still banned in every state other than Texas. Bowling, like many sports, attracted gamblers. As a result, the game came under the scrutiny of legislatures and city councils. In 1841, Connecticut passed a law prohibiting ninepin bowling alleys. Circumventing the law, alleys added one pin to the line-up. Very little about the game has changed since.

Dynamic duo do Australia proud in Argentina ! by Kate Withers @katejwithers (Latrobe Valley EXPRESS) Morwell mother-son duo Diane and Nick Penney may not have returned from the World Raffa Championships in Argentina with any silverware, but they did Australia proud. The doubles pair made it through to the top 16 against some of the best countries the world and not only matched it with them but won. Despite contracting a nasty bug, they handed defeat to power nations Hungary, Switzerland and France and some of those teams included fully-fledged professionals. "Beating Switzerland was pretty big. They're high up," Nick said. "I don't think our skills were any worse than a lot of them, it was just decision-making and train- ing. "So it was good to beat them and France and Hungary ... and against France it was just good to win the way we won." Time had run out against France and Nick and Diane found themselves three down before mounting a remarkable comeback which South American commentators described in a live stream as "impossible". "We were down 7-10 and had two balls ... we had one point, then got two and shot another ball and got four on the last end," Nick said.
