it refers to a 200 game where you alternate strikes and spares throughout the game.

So it is just a game over 200 with no opens?

Or is it literally one strike, one spare, one strike, and so on.

Here's a couple of sites that have definitions of that and other terms:

And here is one site of Bowling Terms that had me scratching my head:

PS: I know it is not our game of bowling but probably Lawn Bowling.

it's a game where you bowl a 200 game even  where the whole game consist of spare then strike,  then spare, then strike,  etc  or vice versa.

If any of you guys have that bowling guy Honus Wagner on a baseball card, it's worthless.

I'd take it from you for $5.00 shipped.

All of these answers are grotesquely incorrect.

The answer is, as follows;

A Dutch 200 is obtained when you're "locked in" on one lane, striking at will, yet refuse to make the necessary adjustments on the opposite lane to throw strikes and are left with remedial spares, which you somehow convert.

Strike/spare...spare/strike...what a silly response...

Not all great shots result in strikes and not all strikes are great shots.
