Sports History Alpha Index Index by Sport History Bits Forum ... Search Lawn Bowls History Lawn Bowls in America How It's Played Other Resources History Lawn bowls, also known as lawn bowling or bowling on the green, is considered a quintessentially English sport. However, it probably originated in France. It may even have been brought over by the conquering Normans in 1066 or shortly thereafter, though there's no documentary evidence that it was. Like Italy's bocce and Provencal's petanque , lawn bowling originated in a game played by Roman soldiers, in which stones were tossed toward a target stone with the object of getting as close to the target as possible. Roman legions introduced the game to countries throughout the empire. Over time, the stones were replaced by balls that were usually rolled, rather than thrown. In France, the sport became known as boules , from the Latin word for ball, and the English world "bowl" came from that French root. The oldest known bowling green, in Southampton, England, dates at least to 1299, although other greens claim to be older than that. Henry VIII, himself a bowler, in 1511 banned the sport among the lower classes and levied a fee of 100 pounds on any private bowling green to ensure that only the wealthy could play. The main reason for the ban, as for similar bans on other sports, was that able-bodied men were supposed to spend their spare time practicing archery. The king's proclamation also noted that arrow-makers and bow-makers weren't being productive enough because of the time they wasted on bowling.

Palo Alto Lawn Bowls Club Home Calendar Tournaments Our Club ... Contacts Welcome, novices and experts alike to the wonderful sport of English lawn bowls. It is perhaps the only outdoor activity where men and women, young and old, ex-jocks and ex-loafers, can all compete on an equal footing. But more importantly, it is easy to learn, very low cost, and provides gentle, healthy exercise and pleasant social company for people of all ages. A day on the green will get you out of the house and challenge you to some mental and physical stretching. Some still call this English Lawn Bowling (much to the chagrin of the Scots.. where it is even more popular!). We are one of the many Californian clubs that have been in existence for over 50 years proving year round that life feels better in the sunshine. Our membership is split almost evenly male and female, from ages 17 to 101! Free Trial Bowling Lessons Free lessons by arrangement with one of our experienced coaches. And we can always open up a newcomers practice lane. Try before you join. Many of this year's newcomers are already bowling in all draw games. Lessons are usually scheduled around normal draw games or practice sessions. Drop-ins welcome any Sundays.

Information About Lawn Bowling Australia About Lawn Bowling Home Lawn Bowling Rules Lawn Bowling Clubs Lawn Bowls Coaching ... History Of Lawn Bowling aboutlawnbowling.com.au About Lawnbowling Home A game of lawn bowling can rid you off all the stress of day to day life, many will recommend a game for those aching legs and back as well. The playing area, known as a green, is approx. 18 feet wide and 125 feet long. A team can be made up with one to four players, and each player has a set of bowls. The number of people on the team determines whether each player uses two, three or four bowls. The bowls weigh a few ounces over three pounds and although they look perfectly round they are actually cut on a bias. This means that one side of the bowl is slightly bigger than the other, and the bias causes the bowl to adopt a curve rather than maintain a straight line. When we read the history of lawn bowling we can understand that it is not just the sport but also its history is very interesting. The ball game was popular with the pharaohs, balls of stone have been found in the Egyptian graves. When the game spread from Egypt to Greece and Rome which was seven thousand years ago they had little knowledge that it would last several centuries. Playing Lawn Bowling finds a mention in the prehistoric and ancient civilizations of Aztec and the Polynesia . The Chinese and the North Americans are also known to have played lawn bowling. In Hawaii this was a popular game amongst the Polynesians who used elliptical bowls about 4inches in diameter. The discs were made of stone and known as a rather ‘tribalesque' Ula Maika. A distance of 18 meters (which would be 60 feet) separated the bowling area and the discs.
