For leisure activities, it can be played by anyone. However, an expert game requires dedication, practice and concentration. Let us go in depth and discuss more about this game.

Green and rinks

The game of lawn bowling is played on a 34-40M Square of finely cut grass commonly called the “green”. This green contains divided playing areas known as “rinks”.  It is surrounded by small ditch, which catches bowls if it leaves the green. The corners and centre lines of each rink are indicated on a bank surrounding the green.

Jack

Players are supposed to deliver their bowl from mat at the starting of the rin, to the jack (a small white ball) at the end. These bowls are shaped such that they don’t run in straight lines and take curved paths towards the jack.

Delivery

The bowls can be delivered both forehand and backhand. Moreover, opponents can deliver four bowls alternately.
