lawn bowls
Rolling weighted spheres
Lawn bowls is a precision sport in which players roll slightly asymmetrical balls, called bowls, across a flat grass surface toward a smaller target ball called the jack.
The asymmetry causes the bowls to curve as they slow, requiring players to judge both weight and line.
The game has ancient origins but is now played competitively worldwide, particularly in Commonwealth countries.
She took up lawn bowls after retiring and now plays in regional tournaments.
