We hear Lets Go Bowling, a ten-pin bowling franchise, will open on 16 December at The Farmyard in Polokwane.

The bowling alley will be housed in the existing Farmyard Theatre which will be changed into the bowling alley.

Lets Go Bowling is Paul Altenroxel of The Farmyard's most recent initiative and will be welcomed by young people in Polokwane as well as families who would like another choice for weekend evenings.

We are told that a major part of the activities will consist of different leagues.

We reached out to The Farmyard for comment or a press release and will publish that as soon as we receive it.

To help our readers prepare for this exciting new addition to Polokwane's recreation facilities we publish background information to the game.

Ten-pin bowling (commonly just "bowling" in the United States) 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. Read more in Wikipedia.
