Learning Lawn Bowling
Lawn bowling is one of the easiest sports to learn to play. For that reason, many people feel it is not a challenge. But nothing could be further from the truth! Lawn bowling is also one of the hardest sports to master - regardless of your age - and many top athletes have left the greens feeling humbled.
If you decide to accept the challenge, you will find that bowls increases your eye-hand coordination, strengthens your legs, back, and arms, and helps with your focus and concentration. It is an excellent sport for young people as well as adults, teaching coordination and mental focus.
Even more important than the physical aspects of the game, however, are the sportsmanship and camaraderie you will enjoy if you decide to take up bowls. A wide range of people from all walks of life can be found on the green. It is truly an eclectic and fun-loving bunch of people, and we are always delighted to welcome new bowlers.
Lawn Bowling Lessons
As mentioned above, learning to bowl is relatively easy, but you will need to take some lessons. Among the things you will learn will be the rules of the game, vocabulary that is unique to bowls, the proper way to hold and deliver your bowls, and the etiquette that governs behavior on the greens. None of it is difficult, and you will be ready to join a club game after a few lessons.
Costs
Lawn bowling is one of the best deals in terms of money in town. Your first two lessons are FREE and the cost of subsequent lessons ($5.00 per lesson for an hour of instruction) is applied to your yearly membership if you decide to join. Yearly dues are also very reasonable: $75 for green fees (care of the greens) and $40 for membership. Compare that to the cost of even a single game of golf!
Scheduling Lessons
To schedule individual lessons, or lessons for your group (children 10 and older are welcome), please give one of our instructors below a call. We will do our best to accomodate your schedule.
