BACK
The basics of lawn bowls
Rink: area in which play takes place, usually a flat, grassed area, bounded by boundary pegs
Centre line: the line down the centre of the rink
Jack: small white ball, rolled out along the centreline, the idea is to get bowls as close as possible to it
Bowls: the balls used by the player, up to four each, weighted on one side causing it to curve as it rolls
Mat: placed on the centre line, players stand on it to bowl
Bowling
Stand on the mat, feet together, knees and waist bent slightly
Take ball in your preferred hand (right or left)
Step out with your opposite foot (left or right)
Take a small back swing
Bend down and roll bowl along the ground. ( or use a mechanal arm)
Roll it out at an angle, so the bowl curves back towards jack (see basics)
Avoid dropping or bouncing bowl so as not to damage green
Strategy
Draw shot: A slow, measured, finessed bowl trying to end closest to the jack
Drive shot: A harder, faster bowl used to try to knock other players' bowls away
Scoring
The player who has their bowl or bowls closest to the jack wins
Points are awarded according to the number of bowls closest
Players judge the distance and number by eye
If in dispute, a measuring tape is employed
If still in dispute, an umpire called in to resolve
Sledging
Sledging is generally frowned upon in competition and social bowls, but can still happen and become quite heated.
However "As long as you have fun and it's all done in a good spirit, it's a great opportunity to stir each other up and have a bit of fun,"
GET out there, KEEP it friendly and enjoy!
