Lawn Bowls
Lawn bowling is a sport played outdoors or indoors, which consists of two types of balls: the bowl, which is what the player will use, and the jack, which is a ball that remains on the green (or course). The object of the game is to roll your ball closer to the jack than your opponent.
Hitting (often called firing) the opponent’s ball or the jack to make them move away or closer to a target, is allowed. Lawn bowling is played on a green, usually about 40-42 square yards. It is then divided into six sections, which are known as rinks, and although the bowls are sometimes referred to as ‘woods’ they are normally made of plastic composite. The bowls are generally just shy of six inches in diameter and weigh about 1.5 kilograms. They are always flattened on one end so that they will take a curved course when thrown.
