Bowling- A Beginning!!!

For information, apart from futsal, sports bowling also also receive overwhelming response Twintech's students. If, it its get overwhelming response no impossible one day in the future be insiatif would be taken of another establishment sports club namely bowling.

For a start, this article would tell regarding game history and origin bowling. This article taken from wikipedia.org/Ten-pin_bowling.

Ten-pin bowling is a competitive sport in which a player (the “bowler”) rolls a bowling ball down a wooden or synthetic (polyurethane) lane with the objective of scoring points by knocking down as many pins as possible.

The 41.5-inch (105 cm) wide, 60-foot (18 m) lane is bordered along its length by "gutters”—semicircular channels designed to collect errant balls which also pose an obstacle to advanced bowlers, because a straight ball cannot be rolled on a regulation lane at the angle required to consistently carry (knock down) all ten pins for a strike. Most skillful bowlers will roll a more difficult-to-control hook ball to overcome this. There is a foul line at the end of the lane nearest to the bowler: if any part of a bowler’s body touches the lane side of this line after the ball is delivered (rolled), it is called a foul and any pins knocked over by that delivery are not scored. (The bowler is allowed a shot at a new rack of ten pins if he fouled on the first roll of a frame.) Behind the foul line is an “approach” approximately 15 feet (5 m) long used to gain speed and leverage on the ball before delivering it. 60 feet (18 m) from the foul line, where the lane terminates, it is joined to a roughly 36-inch (91 cm) deep by 41.5-inch (105 cm) wide surface of durable and impact-resistant material called the "pin deck," where each rack of pins is set.

The bowler is allowed ten frames in which to knock down pins, with frames 1 through 9 being composed of up to two rolls. The tenth frame may be composed of up to three rolls: the bonus roll(s) following a strike or spare in the tenth (sometimes referred to as the eleventh and twelfth frames) are fill ball(s) used only to calculate the score of the mark rolled in the tenth. Bowling has a unique scoring system (see below) that is notoriously confusing to newcomers who attempt to score a game with multiple marks (strikes and spares). Bowling scores tend to be unintuitive: if a bowler was to knock down 9 pins with his first shot but miss his spare every frame, he would have a score of 90; if the same bowler were to make all of his spares and knock down 9 with the bonus ball, he would have a score of 190. If he were to carry all ten pins with each shot and strike with each of his bonus balls in the tenth frame, he would have shot a perfect game of 300.

Since being brought to the United States from Europe, ten-pin bowling (a modern version of the game of skittles) has risen in popularity as its technology has improved. The sport is most popular in the United Kingdom and the United States. Both nations maintain national regulatory organizations that govern the sport’s rules and conduct and many of those countries’ best players participate in tournaments on both the national and international stage. Because of the rise in popularity, many companies are now making bowling balls and apparel for professionals as well as for recreational bowlers. Bowling has also become more prevalent in the media in recent years, with the continued popularity of bowling publications and the appearance of films centred around the culture of the sport. However, the sport continues to face challenges in garnering mainstream coverage of the athletic aspects of the game.


History

Bowling is a game in which players attempt to score points by rolling a bowling ball along a flat surface called the lane in order to knock down objects called pins. There are many forms of bowling, with the earliest dating back to ancient Egypt. Other places where bowling was first seen were ancient Finland and Yemen, and in 300 A.D. in Germany.

Origins

Pinsetter boys at a Pittsburgh bowling alley, circa 1908

In 1930, British anthropologist Sir Flinders Petrie, along with a team of archaeologists, discovered various primitive bowling balls, bowling pins and other materials in the grave of an Egyptian boy dating to 3200 BC, which was over 5200 years ago. Their discovery represents the earliest known historical trace of bowling. However, some dismiss these findings[citation needed], arguing that bowling originated in Germany in AD 300. The first written reference to bowling dates to 1366, when King Edward III of England banned his troops from playing the game so that they would not be distracted from their archery practice.[3] It is believed that King Henry VIII bowled using cannon balls. In Germany the game of Kegal (Kegelspiel) expanded. The Kegal game grew in Germany and around other parts of Europe with Keglars rolling balls at nine pins, or skittles.[4][5] To this day, bowlers in the United States and United Kingdom are also referred to as "keglers."

Ninepin bowling was introduced to America from Europe during the colonial era, similar to the game of skittles.[6] It became very popular and was called “Bowl on the Green.” The Dutch, English, and Germans all brought their own versions of the game to the New World, where it enjoyed continued popularity, although not without some controversy. In 1841 a law in Connecticut banned ninepin bowling lanes due to associated gambling and crime, and people were said to circumvent the letter of the prohibition by adding an extra pin, resulting in the game of ten-pin bowling.[7]

A painting which dates from around 1810, and has been on display at the International Bowling Hall of Fame and Museum in St. Louis, Missouri, however, shows British bowlers playing the sport outdoors, with a triangular formation of ten pins, chronologically before it appeared in the United States. A photograph of this painting appeared in the pages of the US-based "Bowler's Journal" magazine in 1988.

Modern American ten-pin bowling is most closely related to the German nine pin game Kegelspiel. Germans were instrumental in fostering the game’s popularity as they formed their own bowling clubs both before and after the American Civil War. The first indoor bowling alley was Knickerbockers of New York City, built in 1840. The Brunswick Corporation’s addition of bowling equipment to their product line also served to increase the sport’s popularity. In 1914 Brunswick replaced their line of wooden bowling balls, mostly made with lignum vitae, with hard rubber Mineralite bowling balls. The change was met with great approval.

Issue - Political Football

A political football is a political topic or issue that is continually debated but left unresolved. The term is used often during a political election campaign to highlight issues that have not been completely addressed, such as the natural environment and abortion.

There are many reasons that an issue may be left unresolved. Examples are:

  • The issue may be highly controversial with the populace rather evenly split on both sides. In this case, a government has no clear positive action to take.
  • A government may want the opposite of what the majority of the people want. By not making a decision, the government creates time to attempt to convert the public opinion.
  • Government may be split on a decision and neither side is willing to give in to the other.
  • A minority group in government may be opposed to a decision and will use a method to delay a decision, such as a filibuster.
  • Politicians may be attempting to draw the issue into public debate in order to gain their own popularity at the polls.

With the use of the word football, many other football terms are in common use. Once a topic or issue has presented itself, the opposition will take the issue and "run with it" and "try to score points". There may be many parties in opposition to take up the topic, and sometimes run it into the ground, which at times can "backfire" and end up hurting the opposing faction. This can happen to the point of that party being seen as "fumbling" the issue. When a party or candidate ends up ignoring or putting off the issue, they are said to be "punting" it. In addition to the opponents of the politician or party using the subject as political fuel, the media may also "run with it". Sometimes these matters become larger, like during an election, than anyone would have thought possible during the event itself.

The phrase in modern usage is most likely derived from American football rather than association football ("football" to most of the world). However, the Oxford English Dictionary has examples of use as early as the 1600s (long before the creation of American Football). All early examples from the OED originated in the United States. It is possible that the term originated from one definition of football and evolved later to be strongly tied to the modern definition of American football.

The term is now being used around the world including even places where most people do not know much about American football or the relation to the term.

Terkini - Pembelian Pemain Pertahanan

15 Febuari - Satu kebanggaan buat Team Futsal Twintech apabila berjaya membida seterusnya berjaya memiliki pemain pertahanan baru. Pemilikan baru ini dijangka akan menguatkan barisan pertahanan team iu.






Aminnudin Mohd (gambar) a.k.a. merupakan pemain kampung yang berjaya menongkah arus pemain kampungnya apabila berjaya dalam saringan pemain yang diadakan baru-baru ini. Beliau yang dipilih atas kapasiti kebolehannya menekel p**d*n-p**d*n yang ada di Jalan Hamzah. Kebolehan beliau dalam bidang ini, memang tidak dapat dinafikan lagi. Pemilihan beliau ini turut mengundang kebanggaan ketua kampung beliau di Salor.



Buletin Terbaik difahamkan satu kenduri besar-besaran akan diadakan sebagai penghargaan menaikkan nama kampung kelahiran beliau. Beliau, yang dihubungi baru-baru ini (nombor telefon beliau banyak terdapat di tandas awam Kota Bharu) berkata, penampilan sulung beliau pada 12hb Febuari lalu banyak menyelamatkan keadaan juga pertahanan fusal Twintech (erm, cam riak je beliau ni)
Buletin Terbaik juga Kelab Penyokong Futsal Twintech berharap penampilan kedua beliau minggu ini akan menaikkan nama Twintech dalam senarai kesebelasan utama kelab ternama futsal Malaysia.

Corat-coret - "Manager Shah Dalam Dilema??!!!"

Buletin Terbaik difahamkan Manager Shah a.k.a Tuanku Shah pemilik ditaktor Kelab Futsal Twintech menghadapi masalah dalam memilih pemain utama futsal juga percaturan masa depan pemain-pemain futsal.



Beliau, (Manager Shah la....) yang memanagerkan Team A hingga Team C Futsal (sah, memang dia ni ditaktor!!!!) teramat la pening apatah lagi kebelakangan ini hampir kesemua pemain telah menunjukkan kehebatan sehingga mengalahkan Team Shoalin Soccer!!!( betul ke ni???)







Bukan itu saja, khabarnya pemain/sudent Twintech kini lagi berminat dalam sukan bowling (bowling betul, bukan bowling kelapa) Attitude ini, mungkin boleh menjatuhkan reputasi beliau sebagai ditaktor!!! Mungkin itu yang dibimbangkannya!!!

Apapun, hasil maklumat terbaru, Manager Shah akan menukar bola futsal kepada bola bowling supaya kesangapan pemainnya untuk bermain bowling akan terubat. Bahkan, beliau menjangkakan akan menarik lebih ramai lagi pelajar unuk hadir ke latuhan futsalnya itu.

Bulein Terbaik mengucapkan selamat berjaya!!!

Corat-coret - "Hikayat D' Futsal"

Alkisah, tersebutlah kisah yang nyata tertulis dalam "Hikayat Tuanku Shah" bermukim di arena padang futsal. Dalam hikayat tertulis ini, baginda merupakan pelopor kepada arena sukan Mukim Twintech.

Bermusim lamanya, baginda mengimpikan agenda futsal; baru purnama ini terbitnya pasukan futsal impian. Sementelahan pula, baginda merasakan tampuk takhta yang diterajui kawasan Mukim Twintech akan berakhir kerana kehadiran "Budak Punk" yang diasuh "Mak Adib".

Arakian, "Budak Punk" ini sangatlah mahsyur kehidupannya. Kisah kehidupannya, seringkali dicereka oleh "Mak Adib". "Mak Adib" ini pula amat kasih kepada anak asuhan ini, maka terbitlah gurindam, "bodoh-bodoh saja".

Bidalan ini bukanlah menjatuhkan maruah mereka berdua, cuma ia sekadar gurindam kala berduka!!! "Mak Adib" sangatlah suka berlagu ini untuk mengubat jiwa lara "Budak Punk".

Apapun, "Tuanku Shah" bukanlah marah kepada "Budak Punk" sebab suka bersendirian, tak suka kacau orang!!! Tapi, awas kalau "Mak Adib" marah!!!


Sentelahan pula, Tuanku Shah amat suka kepada gurindam ini hingga dilagukan dengan irama sendiri kala hatinya terkenang arena futsal Mukim Twintech!!! Apatah lagi gurindam Mak Adib ini, mengekalkan ratingnya dalam kalangan pemain futsal Mukim Twintech naungan baginda Tuanku Shah!!!

Alangkah indahnya memori baginda pasti baginda sangat bangga!!!


Nota Kaki Pengarang:

"Hikayat D'Futsal" ini bukan bertujuan merendahkan maruah mana-mana
individu disebutkan. "Hikayat D'Futsal" dicoretkan sekadar untuk suka-suka. Buletin Terbaik mengingatkan kepada pemain lagu Gurindam Mak Adib ini, sebagai satu sorakan semangat kepada pasukan futsal tapi awas kalau Mak Adib marah!!!.

Terima kasih.
