Lawn Bowling Etiquette

Video Transcript

"In this clip we'll try to explain a little bit about etiquette. It's a social game. It's a gentleman's game. We shake hands before and after our games. We try not to deride our opponents. We try not to applaud when they miscue and move our bowl closer to the jack. It really is a wonderful, wonderful social game. We are all good friends.

They play to kill. They play to win the games. Are excellent bowlers, all of them. They too are courteous.
