Come
bowl in the sun and fresh air
The
gentle outdoor sport anyone can play. Easy to learn, devilishly
difficult to be good. Each day's play gives your body and
mind a good work out.
All
you need is a flat pair of shoes and a will to get outside
to try bowls. Most clubs have free or low cost introductory
lessons. Thereafter it is one of the cheapest sports in
the country. Typical club memberships run about $100 per
year in the USA and very few clubs have green fees.
Regions
and Clubs
Find
a club near you today and set up an introductory lesson.
See Clubs. Then read up on the
rules and terminology before you go. See The
Game. Many clubs also support social (non-playing) members
or spouses, especially for the many social events throughout
the year.
P.S.
Probably the most inexpensive sport in the country!
Marketing
However
successful your local club is there will be a continual
need to recruit new members as others age out of the program
(even if that is often after age 90!). See these hints and
tips for marketing your club.
They have all been field tested in US clubs...so we know
what works and what doesn't.

Down
under in Australia and New Zealand, lawn bowls is simply
called bowls, and is played by many folks of all ages, both
indoors and outdoors.
But
in what other sport can a 75 year old beat a 25 year old?
Can women consistently play with men? Are mixed teams the
norm? Have an active social side? Require little or no practice?
.
There
are numerous tournaments both social and serious in the USA
each year. Start competing at the club level and work your
way up.
