Are we sure this didn't happen in one of the many countries that write their dates properly?

Shit... I never thought about it. Do other countries have bowling? Like, I know the game/sport is derived from various previous games/sports throughout history.

But bowling in its current American form, is that played a lot else where? And if so, how do those top tier american bowlers i see on the ocho stack up? I guess I know what internet video rabbit hole im falling down tonight.

I don't live in the US and within the distance of a short walk, there are no less than three bowling alleys near me. One is public, one belongs to a bowling club and I don't know about the 3rd one.

Can I ask what country? Or region in the world?

I'm in New Zealand, we have tenpin bowling here, and I believe the rules are the same as in the US. I'm pretty sure it's a popular game around the world.
