We play every other Thursday evening on a home and away basis. If you are a keen bowler and would like to join us, this is the time to sign up for what is always a big fun evening. Don't miss out. If you're interested please let me know. Jellin Ashworth:
BOWLING ALLEY The Bowling Alley is open to all members with prebooking system in the reception area or online. Members are required to change to bowling shoes provided in the bowling alley before the game and observe the rules presented inside the bowling area.
To share a little bit of history
with you ¡V Ten Pin Bowling came from a long time ago. Archaeologists
have discovered bowling balls, pins and other equipment in an Egyptian
child's grave dating back to 5200 BC.! Another similar form of the game
called "kegels" in Germany is dated back as early as A.D. 200.
Certainly, the Ten Pins we play nowadays is not as ancient as you think,
unless you are rolling stones to some wooden clubs! The more recent form of bowling
was recorded in England as early as the 1100s. In the Netherlands, people
took up a related game, and it was the Dutch who introduced the sport
to America in the 1600s. In America the game became very popular. But
people began to gamble on the sport, and for a while it was looked on
as an evil event. And believe it or not, "bowling at nine pins"
as it was described was once outlawed in the state of Connecticut. Well...Kthe
story doesn't end here, so don't ban your spouse from bowling just yet!
To get around that law, some wise people added an additional pin and this
was the beginning of the 10-pin game played today! By the mid-1900s, the
sport was once again an accepted form of family recreation. And yes, bowling
is a healthy game and we all love bowling!
At HKCC, bowling is more than just a family recreation; our bowling league comprises players of all ages, amateurs to pro. It's hard to find a single word to describe the league, but it's certainly a combination of fun and enthusiasm. We have six re-born winning teams from 2005, they are the Asia Niners, Winning Partners, Ave It, Alley Cats, Just Do It and Shooters in both Ladies and Mixed Leagues and not to mention all individual bowlers who were victorious last year. A combined prize presentation ceremony for the 05 and 06 winners is scheduled to be held at the end of this season.
