Samarkand Bowling Clubs

It’s no secret that bowling is a great pastime for teens and adults to blow off some steam and share fun moments with their crew. But whilst bowling is definitely fun for the whole family, it’s also very beneficial for your child’s self-esteem, maths skills and social skills.

Bowling is a target sport and recreational activity in which a player rolls a ball towards pins (in pin bowling) or another target (in target bowling). The term "bowling" generally refers to pin bowling (most commonly ten-pin bowling), although in the United Kingdom and Commonwealth countries, bowling can also refer to target bowling such as lawn bowling.

In bowling, the goal is to knock down pins on a long playing surface known as a lane. The lanes have a wooden or synthetic surface coated with a protective lubricating oil with various pre-set oil patterns that affect the movement of the ball.

A hit is reached when all pins are knocked down on the first throw, and a spare is reached when all pins are knocked down on the second throw. Common types of pin bowling include ten pin, candle pin, duck pin, nine pin, and five pin. The historical game of skittles is the forerunner of modern bowling.

In bowling, the goal is usually to get the ball as close to the tee as possible. The surface of a bowling alley can be grass, gravel or synthetic. Lawn bowls, bocce bowls, carpet bowls, pétanque bowls, and pétanque bowls come in many varieties for both indoor and outdoor use. Curling is also associated with bowls.

Bowling is played by 120 million people in over 90 countries (including 70 million in the US alone).
