The great thing about bowling is that even if someone explains it without much teaching skill – they still can’t get it wrong. Let’s break down this claim with a few facts:
- Bowling doesn’t require special physical fitness – can you do a small squat and swing your arm? – Great, you’re qualified! 😊
- If the ball goes into the gutter – it’s even funnier. Okay, maybe not for you, but definitely for your crew laughing at how frustrated you got. But if you organized a drinking game where everyone drinks whenever the ball lands in the gutter, then you’re actually the hero!
- Kids want to play? Of course – with bumpers on the lane and a ball ramp, even toddlers can play.
- Grandma and grandpa want in? Sure… as long as they don’t have an artificial hip or knee – or both – they’re good to go!
After just 2–3 throws, you get a feel for choosing the right ball weight, the strength of your swing, and even the bowling shoes stop bothering you… and it all becomes more exciting!

At this stage, you’ll want to know the rules in more detail, so here are the most important ones:
- Bowling is played with 10 pins arranged in a triangle at the end of the lane.
- Each player has two chances per frame to knock down as many pins as possible.
- If all pins are knocked down on the first try, it’s called a strike and earns bonus points.
- If all pins are knocked down in two tries, that’s a spare, which also gives extra points.
- The game lasts 10 frames, and the player with the highest score at the end wins.
But really, who cares about “strikes” and “spares” when the main goal is food, drinks, and fun… Except, of course, when Kooglana rewards you with €1000 – but that’s another story. 😊
So once you know this, grab the ball, swing, throw… and that’s it!
