I can't really say. The pin version of bowling usually takes place on a wood or synthetic surface, but there is also target blowing, which can be done on grass or gravel.
you will need shoes for the flat wooden or synthetic surface that the game is played on
I'm dying to learn how to bowl! All of my friends love it and I'm feeling left out! Oh, OK! Well, to start, bowling involves rolling a bowling ball toward some sort of target. The target being pins I guess! That's the extent of my knowledge! Do I have to knock them all down on my first try? If you do knock them down on the first try, that's called a strike. However, if you take two tries to knock them all down, that's called a spare. Oh good! I'll definitely need two chances!! How long has bowling been around? I'm not sure. But, back to the scoring, if you manage 12 strikes in a row, you get the maximum score of 300. 300 seems like an impossible score, but I'll do my best! What else can you tell me? There are actually names for various strings of strikes. For example, four strikes in a row is called a "four-bagger". Good to know! Do I need special shoes to go bowling?
The pin version of bowling is often played on a flat wooden or other synthetic surface (which can be oiled in different patterns for different techniques), while in target bowling, the surface may be grass, gravel or a synthetic surface.
