Bowling

Know nothing about it.
As far as "regular" bowling, I've got a BIL with about a 220 average. He's a lefty, with a wicked, wicked hook.
He's not looking at the pins, he's getting his feet placed just right and picking out his aiming spot on the lane.

Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

Wonder if these guys do the same thing.

How is it Played?
A full-size rink is 40 m long and 100 m wide and much bigger than the space needed for short mat bowls, which uses a 45 ft x 6 ft carpet.
The game can be played in singles, doubles, triples and there are also four player games. Its purpose is this: you must aim your bowling ball as near to the white ball (called the jack) as you can.
The game starts with the toss of a coin and the lead player rolls the jack which is moved to the centre of the rink.
Bowlers take it in turns. Once all the bowls have been played, each team gets a point for every bowl landing closer to the jack than their rival’s nearest ball. Once all the bowls have been played, the direction of play changes.
The Sport’s Rules
Any bowls ending at the ditch (the game boundary) are disqualified unless the bowl has touched the jack first.
If the jack rolls into the ditch, the game continues on unless the jack crosses the boundary to the side of the rink, which is out of bounds. If it does this, the player bowls again.
How is it Scored?
The scoring system depends on the type of competition. However, in most games the winner is declared the first player to score 21 points or the one that gets the highest points after 18 or 21.

While not as much now, bowling was super popular when I was growing up.
It is interesting that most Taiwan bowlers use a "helicopter spin" on the ball. which is different from most US bowlers.
