the mat at the other end to deliver the bowls back Just as in any game it does not make much sense until you learn a little about the game One bowler has described it as chess on grass because of the challenge of the game Bowling can be recreational or competitive and can be enjoyed the very young or the older adult Lawn bowling is a gentle refined and friendly game of physical and mental strategy
