What is lawn bowling?
The concept of the game of lawn bowls, commonly referred to as lawn bowling, is to slide biased balls as close as possible to a smaller ball known as a jack or kitty. A lawn bowling ball typically weighs 1.5 kg. It is known as a biased ball because the heavier side makes it easier for a player to curl the ball. The sport is generally played on flat, convex, or uneven surfaces. The grounds are made of artificial turf or natural grass. In order to receive two points at that end, a team must place two balls closer to the target than the ball of the opposing team. The first team gets three points for the end of their closest ball is three balls closer to the target than the second team’s closest ball.
