US Bowling League Day is September 3rd.
This day recognizes the competition and social connections that bowling leagues foster. Bowling dates back to ancient Egypt.
In the U.S., the game evolved from ninepins to tenpins in the 1840s.
The American Bowling Congress, formed in 1895, standardized the rules and scoring, including the perfect score of 300.
Over 67 million people in the U.S. bowl each year.
More than 1.2 million people compete in certified leagues.
Bowling balls can have up to 12 holes.
The longest marathon tenpin bowling record is held by Stephen Shanabrook, who bowled for 134 hours and 57 minutes at Plano Super Bowl in Texas from June 14th -19th, 2010.
He completed 643 games.
Holler House in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is home to the oldest bowling alley in the U.S., dating back to 1908.
This venue still operates with human pinsetters.
