lawn bowling

Grass ball sport

Lawn bowling is a game in which players roll balls across a smooth grass surface, aiming to get closest to a small target ball.

The balls are biased—weighted unevenly—so they curve rather than roll straight, requiring skill to judge the arc.

Also called bowls, especially in British English.

They joined the lawn bowling club after retiring.
