Points arising 
It's easy for Spaniards to get confused using "go".
The brain ( most of us have a brain) regularizes and associates too much.
go goes going went  gone is often followed by TO
SO ...go to..., goes to....., went to......., etc
LOOK right and SOUND right to the brain 
AT A REFLEX LEVEL.
Because
There is prepositional TO for PLACES:
We went to church. He's gone to the dentist's, etc
AND   TO belonging to the infinitive , with the continuous:
I'm going to learn English
So
There is more than one meaning involved, and our brains note this too!

But
often is not ALWAYS ! More than one meaning is not ALL MEANINGS !
What gave you trouble in this exercise:
Kevin goes bowling.

This structure is SUBJECTIVE
It Depends ON MEANING


GO in ANY TENSE OR FORM + Verb- ing 
is for verbs  which are SUBJECTIVELY juerga, ocio, o relax
Lots of verbs are seldom used for anything else.
But consider "dive"

If you are a professional diver You do NOT talk about
" going diving"
The police frogmen dived deep to find the dead body.
Compare
We went diving round the coral reefs near Cancun.You don't have to, but it's typical to call the sport scuba-diving or skindiving.

The brain prefers not to think and to use external features.......

You have an extra problem with bowling as a loan word in Spanish
The PLACE " a bowling ALLEY has lost the second word in in Spanish!
But your mistake: He goes to a bowling
sounds as confusing to English-users
as the loan-word to vamoose (=vamosear) can sound for you!
The kids vamoosed after breaking the window  
¡¡¡Ellos vamosearon!!!! 

Don't go skiing without being insured !












Going courting from 7 brides for seven brothers with Italian subtitles


You may have gone......xing  (not go+computer programming)during the summer, and the result is:

By the way 
Why don't owls go courting in the rain?
Too wet to woo.

I'm tired: 
You can look up ways of illustrating  some of these on internet yourselves 
For example:
The results of going drinking.
What has happened to men who have gone jogging in NY winters.
