Bowling is a fun hobby/sport. Bowling can also include averages to find out what you shoot for three games and etc. Bowling also has different bowling ball weights ranging from 1-15. Bowling also consists of many bowling ball manufactuerers. Bowling is consisted of a 10 frame game. The max score for bowling is 300. Bowling consists of 39 boards and there are 7 arrows on the bowling lane. The max series you can shoot in bowling is a 900 series. Bowling is also a mental game. If you don't have a good mental game, then it can affect your average and score. If you are serious about bowling, you can join a league or you can compete in bowling tournaments. Another way if your serious about bowling is you can join High School Teams or after High School you can join College Teams. After you have completed College Teams, the next thing you can do is join the PBA (Professional Bowlers Association). PBA is the next step if you are very serious about doing tournaments and competing against the best bowlers in the world. I believe bowling is a sport because it is constantly growing around the world, you can compete against the best bowlers, and you also get sponserships from bowling ball companies.
