1. Where can I learn to play lawn bowls?

At your local bowling club the coach may give you free coaching.

2. Can I use the same bowls everywhere I play?

Of course you can for outdoors but you should also be aware that bowls are designed for specific conditions, primarily green speeds. The bias of the bowl enables perfomance which favours play on either slower or faster greens. Please note that there are specific bowls for playing indoors.

3. Do you need a different bowl if you are left-handed?

No, this is not necessary at all.

4. What are old style bowls and are they still legal to play in Australia?

Yes . Henselite bowls made and sold in Australia prior to 1988 are the same bias as our Classic Model (not Classic II) which is still sold overseas but not in Australia as the demand is for the narrower bias bowl.

5. Why should I play lawn bowls?

Lawn bowls has given people of all ages the opportunity to exercise both indoor and outdoor in a social or competitive environment coupled with the physical exercise aspect that medically has proven to give longer life. Lifting, bending, walking and, in some cases, sprinting down the green to the rapturous applause of team mates, friends and in some instances thousands of spectators gives both the body and mind a euphoric experience that few sports can offer over a life time. Many families have introduced their children to lawn bowls at a tender age. What other sport is there that can have 3 generations of one family play together and experience each others company for hours and feeling bonded to one common goal.
