bowling
Strike and spare
Bowling is a game where players roll a heavy ball down a lane to knock over pins arranged in a triangle.
The most common form uses ten pins, though variations exist like candlepin and duckpin bowling.
The term also covers lawn bowling (bowls), where players roll balls toward a target on grass.
We went bowling on Friday night.
