BOWLING
The first written mention of a bowling-like sport can be traced back to the year 1366 in England. Allegedly King Edward III outlawed the game in order to keep his troops focused on their archery practice, but it was most certainly in vogue (and legal) during the reign of King Henry VIII. Many variations of bowling had come from Europe including Italian bocce, French petanque, and even Britain’s lawn bowling. The first Mineralite ball was introduced in 1914 by the Brunswich Corporation, and the first commercial installation of a pin setting machine came in 1952, making "pin boys" almost entirely unnecessary. But nothing did more for the popularity of bowling than the first broadcast of "Championship Bowling" by NBC in the 1950’s.

The Esplanade Bowl is home to the Bowling Section as many leagues and competitive events are held there for bowlers of all ages. SRC is represented in the junior, adult and senior categories, in competitions among the clubs and national levels. There are monthly events and leagues organized for members, so come down and we will be able to find you a spot among the bowlers of SRC.
