Have never been much interested in golf, but Irish Road Bowling looks like a blast! It's getting more and more popular in N. America in recent years. I even saw a news clip a while back that showed some bowlers playing kilted!
These West Virginia guys are the ones that really got the sport going here in the US: http://www.wvirishroadbowling.com/ ...and there are now associations is New York and Boston as well....
