We are no longer "Under Construction", however we are under a major renovation! As with all types of news and information, this website is, hopefully, going to be every changing with the times.
Even though the USBC is a merged men's, women's, and youth association, locally we are still a women's only association. Gives us a chance to gossip and complain about all the things going on in our lives, and have fun bowling at the same time!
The earliest record of bowling goes back 7,000 years to ancient Egypt where a round object resembling a bowling ball, and marble bars, resembling bowling pins, were found in the ruins of a pyramid. From Egypt, bowling moved to ancient Babylonia and then to Northern Italy around Julius Caesar's time.
During the 3rd and 4th centuries, bowling was a religious ceremony for determining absence of sin. German parishioners had to roll or throw an object at a pin or kegel (derivation of the word kegler for bowler) to avoid performing an act of penance
