You used to get a free turkey for 3 in a row.  It is pretty common now, because the lanes are computer balanced, as are the bowling balls and pins.\n\nWe get a shot at a frozen turkey the Thursday before Thanksgiving, during league bowling.  The rest of the year it is a free drink for 3 in a row.  Four in a row is a free pizza.

From a delivery straight from the bowler you can hit as many times as you can trying to keep the ball away from the wickets or drive it towards the boundaries.But if you hit the ball and it is touched by a fielder you cannot hit it again as he throws it back at the wickets.

The guys on PTI always use it.  It's not a sports term.  It means: like or kind.  The guys always say other people aren't of their ilk, really saying no one compares to us.

Did you miss the game on last thanksgiving?!  The store was all out of six legged turkeys, and Madden starting getting really hungry.  After the cowboys game, Madden went over to Demarcus Ware (winner of one of the aforementioned turkey legs) and broke the news to him that there were no more turkeys.  Since Demarcus Ware is a beast and Madden was really hungry, when they looked at Al Michaels, he just looked like a gigantic turkey leg.  So they started chasing him around and eventually disappeared into the tunnel.  I haven't seen Michaels since, and neither has anyone else to my knowledge.  Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Bowlers capture the win and Batsman secure it. It's a team game. The best bowlers would CRUSH the best batsman. I've already got it planned out. Imagine Hayden having to bowl to Muralitharan. Muralitharan is an aggressive batsman. He'd crush him. Basically, bowling is the key to a successful team and the batsman are the ones to secure the match.

Every course has a set number of "par."\n\nPar is when you hit the ball a certain number of times. Let's say the par is 3. That means, according to the course, you should be able to sink your ball in 3 shots.

it's anything in sports done 3 times\n\n\nA hat-trick in sports is associated with succeeding at anything three times in three consecutive attempts. In North America it is often rendered as hat trick, with no hyphen. (The Oxford English Dictionary has it unhyphenated and gives a variety of examples published in the 19th and 20th centuries both with and without the hyphen.)\n\nThe term was originally used in cricket, and was connected with the custom of giving a hat or cap to a bowler who achieved the feat of taking three wickets in a row. It may be connected with the concept of giving someone their "cap", i.e. acknowledging them as a regular member of a representative team. Another school of thought mentions that a bowler was challenged if he could take three in three. Hats were passed around to collect the odds. The bowler succeeded and collected the large amount of cash. Thus the term hat-trick could have been also derived from this event.

Although I don't know specifically, I know a bit *around* the topic.  I live in Bowling Green, which is named for having nice flat green spaces.  I also played an interesting "bowling" yard game while I was in Sweden that seemed a lot like bowling.  SO the way I imagine it is that the English had a similar yard game that was the predecessor of modern bowling.  It probably used a similar size ball as the Swedish game - a wooden (?) ball slightly larger than a softball, but definitely not as large as a modern bowling ball.  "Pins" would probably be carved of wood and would have ot be made stable enough to stand on soft turf, but tall enough to be knocked over by the ball - the Swedish game just had blocks of wood this size, but wealthy people might afford something sanded down to pegs or even already given a pin shape to make throws more difficult.  The game would be similar, but no gutters or return, of course - just the pins set up on a green (think putting green) and the players standing at a distance.  Depending on the class of the person playing, either servants or friends would help set up or remove the pins.  Of course, they probably weren't as pressed for time as we are today, so I suppose they could have just done it themselves.  Anyhow, I don't see how the scoring for... What is it called?  One round?  Anyhow, the terms "strike" and "spare" might have been invented then, but I doubt the games ran ten rounds... then again, there were 18 holes of golf, so why not?\n\nHopefully someone can confirm my suspicions!

You probably did not hit the pocket at the right angle. You need to hit the pocket just right to strike. When you leave a single pin in the back row, it is called a tap. If you keep leaving the 8 pin on the first ball of every frame, you might want to try the no-tap scoring format. In no-tap bowling, if you get a 9 count on the first ball of a frame, it counts as a strike. You might want to try it!

I'm not sure what it means, but I think it is something rude! I put it in google and I found it in some jokes about Turks.\n\nI will link to these sites where if you post you are likely to get an answer quickly.
