WHY LAWN BOWLING?
- It is tantalizingly
easy to learn. It is much easier to learn than either tennis or golf.
It is definitely less strenuous than tennis and more social than golf. Most people
learn to bowl only after a few lessons. However, the game’s high-level consistency
is somewhat more difficult to master as our tournament players could attest. This
stimulating challenge provides our game with attractive inducement, satisfying
excitement and constant motivation to improve. Do not you want to face a challenge
with a high probability of success?
- It is healthy. The American Heart Association considers lawn
bowling a beneficial exercise. Secure Horizons recommends it in its brochures.
It is a systematic exercise that combines periodic walking in the fresh air for
2 to 3 hours in a lovely park with rhythmic arm and body movements. Do you want
to learn a game that also qualifies as an exercise?
- It is economical. It is remarkably easy on your budget. Our annual dues are currently $95 (which is about $8 per month) with a one time 'initiation fee of only $5. You can buy a new set of bowls for over $200, but most
members acquire a pre-owned set of bowls in excellent condition for as little
as $50. We provide both equipment and lessons FREE, until you have learned the
game. Have you heard of a better deal lately?
- It is an excellent opportunity to meet new friends. Each day,
before the games, our members meet for a light snack (also free), practice and
camaraderie. We believe that our vigorous club activities enhance the social life
of most members. The astounding devotion to lawn bowling by most of our active
members seems to prove that this game has a great deal to offer. Their long-term
loyalty to our club indicates that they appreciate the social aspect and camaraderie
of our regular gatherings as much as the sport itself. Is there any reason why
YOU should not try?
