IT maybe looks sedate but there’s a lot of skill and physicality involved in a game of bowls.
It is a low-impact sport, so it’s kind to your joints but bowling provides a good workout – walking, bending and lunging forward using core strength and balance to control your throw.
Then there’s the tricky nature of the bias-weighted bowls themselves to come to grips with as you factor both turn and distance into your aim as you set your sights on the target white jack in the distance.
And of course there is a strong social side to the sport, exemplified by the Cowie Bar and its outside seating.
So why not give it a go?
