How to Play

Lawn Bowling is played on a large smooth grass surface called a “green”. The object of the game is to roll your bowls (balls) closer to the target than your opponents. The target is a small white ball called a “jack”.  The jack is rolled the length of the green to start each end. Players from each team take turns rolling their bowls down the green toward the jack until all the bowls have been played.
