Well done video. I used to bowl when I was in my teens (back in the 80's) but have not for over 20 years. I do miss it, and would be interested again, but live over four hours from the nearest green. Very sad to hear that membership is down to under 4k now. A bit of a chicken vs. egg problem...can't get more people without more greens, and can't get more greens without more people.
@mebalcony @mebalcony I play at DuPont every year...shame though, the club has like less then 10 members. I dont see it lasting too much longer. I play in NYC at Central Park.
...............is this some kind of stupid fucking ignorent,rich people activity that they call a "sport" Rich people are dumbasses.Stop being pussies,and play contact sports.
only a jerk like u could write bullshit like that.if ur an american which u most likely are to call ur national sport exciting then u dont no shit from clay. im fact lawn bowls is a sport for the working man and woman and very popular amongst the elderly downunder and in the U.K. but has been catching on by younger folk. pity the elderly dont play this sport in the U.S. because there are so many lonely folks with no one to socialise with and no place to go to, to enjoy their retirement yrs.
I play bowls couple of nice shots there, for all you bowlers out there if your in scotland and going to northfield this year for the scottish championships i will see you there
Ummm, why is the theme to Mortal Combat playing???

I came here after watching a video "how it's made-lawn ball". That was a first time hearing of this sport and the ball itself seems interesting.
But this video made me laugh out loud because of mortal combat music. And the video doesn't show much how this sport work.
