Lawn bowling is a game of strategy. Each lawn bowling team wants to earn enough points to win. Its players not only try to get their bowls near the kitty (target), they also try to knock the other team’s balls away from the target or off of the bowling Green. When a player sees that a ball from the other team is close to the kitty, he has to carefully plan his throw so that he can move the other ball away from the mark while at the same time getting his bowl as close to it as possible. To be a successful lawn bowler, a player must practice often so that she can develop these complex skills.
