1.
We'll tell you about the game.
Lawn bowling has its roots in antiquity and has been played where
English is spoken since the 13th Century. There are over 130 Clubs in the
United States and thousands
around the world. We are all amateurs and bowl for the
FUN of it.
2.
We'll meet you on the Greens.
After you've rolled that first bowl, you'll know why Lawn Bowlers
love the sport. You too can become addicted to the Sport of the Ages.
3.
All you need are flat-soled shoes.
Lawn Bowls are shaped like an automobile tire that is worn on one
side and will no longer go straight. There are nine sizes designed to fit
almost any hand. To learn to bowl, we'll lend you a suitable set.
4.
Lessons are
FREE.
Individual and group lessons can be arranged with an instructor.
5.
There are many competition opportunities.
Soon after completing the lesson program, you'll be able to enjoy
competing with other new bowlers in the Novice tournaments. As you gain
confidence and develop skills, you can bowl in Club, Division, and National competitions.
Lawn Bowling Clubs enjoy bowling against each other.
6.
Low costs for a lifetime of enjoyment.
A set of four bowls costs about the same as a good tennis racket or
one of the better golf clubs and are long-lasting. From time-to-time, the
Club has used bowls for sale. Club dues are minimal and used for
maintaining the Greens.

Excerpt from the
Bowls Encyclopedia
"Bowls is a science, the study of a lifetime, in which you may exhaust
yourself but not your subject. It is a contest, a dual calling for courage,
skill and self-control. It is a test of temper, a trial of honor, a
revealer of character, it affords the chance to play the man and act the
gentleman."
"It
is a cure for care, an antidote for worry, it includes companionship with
friends, social ability and opportunities for courtesy, kindliness and
generosity to an opponent. It provides not only physical health but moral
force."
