The Weekend ‐ Bowling (C0305)
A: Alright, so the first thing that you need to know about bowling is that you should never cross that line where the lane begins.
B: Why not?
A: Because they polish and oil it to make the ball slide down. If you step there you will slip and fall.
A: OK, so I got my bowling shoes, my ball, our names on the scorecard, so now, how the heck do I play this?
A: You throw the ball down the lane and try to knock down all the pins. If you do, that is called a strike. If you don’t knock them all down on the first try, then you get a chance to get the spare. After ten frames, we add up the points and see who has the most. Three hundred is a perfect score, but very hard to get.
B: Got it! OK, I’m gonna give it a go. Oh no! My ball went in the gutter!
A: I told you, its harder than you think. Now let a pro show you how it’s done.
