Finally went lawn bowling last night..it was great fun..good exercising too...no wonder the oldies love it..
okie from what I can grasp..there is a little yellow ball a little smaller than a tennis ball that you bowl down the line to the other end of the field..then you start bowling one by one on a white mat trying to get closest to the yellow ball...the two closest equals a two up..which equals 2 points..depending which team you belong to the points go accordingly..
then you would collect your bowls and it starts all over again but down the other end..
the more serious bowlers have a rag to wipe their bowls..and a tape measure to determine the winners..hehehe as it can be very difficult to judge..
no bowl farts..where the bowl jumps..the bowls need to be bowled closest to the ground possible..so you need to really bend down..
it is really hard..as the bowls are weighed down..so that they curve around...they also have 2 symbols on them..one small and one large..with the large one inside your palm they curve around to the left..with the small one inside they curve to the right..and off you go..need to aim to the right or left of the yellow ball by at least a metre away for them to curve in..problem is if you don't concentrate and have the wrong symbol in your palm it curves the other way..
instead of alleys there is a ditch at the far end of the field..if you bowl too hard more likely your bowls will end up either in the ditch or out of bounds..into someone else's field..and ummm they won't be too happy about it..especially the ones that are serious about bowling...hehheehe worse still if your bowl hit theirs ummmm they might have blood on their hands...hehehe don't think anyone will want us next to them next week..hehehe
