What is Lawn Bowling...

Lawn bowls is usually played on a large, rectangular, precisely levelled and manicured grass or synthetic surface known as a bowling green which is divided into parallel playing strips called rinks. 

This game can be played as singles or teams of doubles, triples or fours. 

The large balls used are not completely round and are referred to as Bowls. These bowls are slightly radially asymmetrical balls which means they do not roll straight.  The bowl will curve depending on distance, weight and speed of bowl thrown.
