A Beginner’s Guide to Becoming a Lawn Bowler

Is it really possible for two extraordinary guys to turn themselves from sculptured art into lawn bowlers? In this article Bob and Murray have shared their personal journey on how they became the two fine specimens of lawn bowlers you see today.

"Before starting to play bowls, my body was my temple. I worked hard in the gym, ate only what was good for me and no demon drink passed my lips. Then that fateful day I joined Sorrento. I became mesmerised by those four bowls at my feet. Rolling a bowl on the rink became my place of worship. I could not get enough of the Pennant's sandwiches and cheese and bickies after a social game. Finally hallelujah I saw the light and realised it wasn’t the demon drink, I thought it was but the nectar of the Gods dispensed over the bar. This resulted in the transformation into the fine figure of a bowler you see today". – Bob

"Being the shy retiring type, I worked hard on my mantra of improving my mind and body through expressing my feelings in appropriate ways. I knew that hard physical fitness would lead to happiness and by living a balanced life this would minimise unwanted complications. Then I started to play lawn bowls and the rest as they say is history, here I am standing barefoot on a bowling green on a Friday night with my arms around another man. Go figure". – Murray
