The game of lawn bowls is very simple to learn but can take
anyone years to perfect. Games are played in a mannerly
fashion, along with positive support and comments for all
players.
The goal of the game is to get more of your team's bowls
closer to the jack (the small white ball) than your opponents
on each "end" played. A typical game is 14 or more ends,
with an overall running tally being kept at all times to
establish the winner.
Bowling bowls come in sets of 4, the maximum number of
bowls you will roll in one end of a game. (Only 3 bowls each
are used in triples and 2 in Rinks - as quadruples is known).
The big surprise of the game is when you first pick up a
bowl, and feel how heavy it is. All bowls come in sets with
different pictures on each set to identify who the owner is -
which is very important when you come to scoring.
