Bowling is a very American game, not too many other countries play it. Despite no one liking it except America, it still can be a very engaging and fun sport.
Bowling is a wholly simplistic sport deriving from Neolithic games such as, "knock that over, with this rock". The game has somewhat evolved with the industrialization of mechanization.
Now there are a good set of rules and the equipment used and alleys bowled on are much more challenging to use than prehistoric rocks. The adaptation of this new equipment and implementation of set rules has made the game much more skill based than regular and conventional target practice.
