bowls

Round deep dishes

Bowls is a lawn game in which players roll biased balls toward a smaller target ball called the jack.

The balls curve as they slow, requiring skill to anticipate their path.

British in origin and still popular in Commonwealth countries, bowls is played on manicured grass or indoor surfaces.

They play bowls at the club every Sunday.
