What is Bowls and why should I play?

It's people. For centuries target sports have given humans respite from the everyday grind and created a forum for friendly competition and sport. Lawn Bowling, or Bowls,  is a game predicated on friendly, family oriented fun that can be played on a week night evening after work to relax and get some good bending a walking exercise for the whole body, for seniors during a morning or afternoon league or more serious competitions on the weekend that one can travel around the country, and world to play.

This is a sport for all ages and athletic ability. It pits ones wits against another while trying to master how to roll a ball that curves in search of the target.
