Abstract: Of all American pastimes, bowling is one of the easiest to pursue. Just show up at the neighborhood bowling center, rent the required shoes, use the balls provided, and pay a reasonable fee to bowl as many games as one likes. The game itself--rolling a ball down a long wooden lane to strike club-shaped pins--appeals to all ages and is within the abilities of everyone from small children to people in their nineties. Popular bowling activities now include: (1) Cosmic bowling; (2) High-tech gadgetry; (3) Kid appeal; (4) School sport; (5) Family entertainment centers; and (6) Bowling lounges. This article presents a brief history and recent trends of tenpin bowling, the basics of the game, a glossary, and websites of interest. It also describes accessories, such as the bowling shirt, the roomy bag, and the shoes as fashion icons.
