A bowling green is a finely-laid, close-mown and rolled stretch of turf for playing the game of bowls.
Before 1830, when Edwin Beard Budding invented the lawnmower, lawns were often kept cropped by grazing sheep on them. The world's oldest surviving bowling green is the Southampton Old Bowling Green, which was first used in 1299.
When the French adopted "boulingrin" in the 17th century, it was understood to mean a sunk geometrically shaped piece of perfect grass, framed in gravel walks, which often formed the center of a regularly planted wood called a bosquet, somewhat like a highly formalized glade; it might have a central pool or fountain.
The diarist Samuel Pepys relates a conversation he had with the architect Hugh May:
"Then walked to Whitehall, where saw nobody almost, but walked up and down with Hugh May, who is a very ingenious man. Among other things, discoursing of the present fashion of gardens to make them plain, that we have the best walks of gravell in the world, France having none, nor Italy; and our green of our bowling allies is better than any they have.""Bowling Green" is a 1967 single by The Everly Brothers. The song peaked at #40 on the Billboard Hot 100 on July 8, 1967; it reached #1 on the Canadian charts. It would be the last time, The Everly Brothers would crack the Hot 100, until 1984. The song is about Bowling Green, Kentucky, a city approximately from the Everly Brothers' hometown of Brownie, now part of Central City, Kentucky.
The song was written by Terry Slater and Jacqueline Ertel; Slater was their bass player. The song has also been recorded by Glen Campbell, the Gosdin Brothers, Jesse Winchester, Neko Case and " We IV or We Four." It is BMI Work #144111.
On the final concert of Norwegian band a-ha on December 4, 2010, this song was played in an acoustic version in the encore. The band mentioned that Terry Slater was in attendance and they thanked them for helping them starting their career.
This is not the traditional song "I Wish I Was In Bowling Green", also known as "Bowling Green", recorded by Cousin Emmy, The Weavers, Pete Seeger and others.
