Summary/Trivia
- Most of us have gone bowling at some point in our lives, and we can all agree
that it’s a fun and straightforward game. However, did you know that nine pin –
not ten pin, bowling used to be the standard type of bowling? Neither did I!
- It was Martin Luther who invented nine pin bowling in the Middle Ages after
several experiments convinced him that nine pins were the ideal number of pins
for the game. Luther was an enthusiastic bowler who sought to improve the
game he and his family loved.
- Nine pin bowling was first popularized as the standard by Martin Luther during
the 16th century. Bowling was already a popular game back then, but it was
initially part of the country’s religious rites wherein the pins or “clubs”
represented the devil, sin, or evil.
- Toppling those clubs by rolling a stone towards them was considered a form of
cleansing for man, ridding himself of sin. Should he fail to knock them all down,
it meant that he needed to work harder to become a good Christian.
