A Brief Look Back at Bowling History
Bowling is more than just a fun pastime; it has a rich history that spans thousands of years. The exact beginnings of the sport are somewhat mysterious, but archeological findings suggest it dates back to ancient Egypt. Over time, the game transformed, with nine-pin bowling gaining popularity in Germany and eventually spreading across Europe. When European colonists came to North America, they brought bowling with them, and it quickly became a beloved activity both indoors and outdoors.
The Role of the United States Bowling Congress
Today, bowling is organized at a national level by the United States Bowling Congress (USBC), formed in 2004 through the merger of several existing national organizations. The USBC’s mission is to promote and develop the sport of bowling for everyone, ensuring that both casual players and competitive bowlers have the resources and support they need to enjoy the game.
