bowling clubs

Where strikes happen

Bowling clubs are organizations where members gather to play lawn bowling or indoor bowls, particularly common in Britain, Australia, and New Zealand.

The term also refers to the equipment used in these games—weighted, asymmetrical balls rolled toward a target.

In American usage, bowling clubs may instead be social groups centered on ten-pin bowling at commercial alleys.
