Do I need my own equipment?

Nope! Club owned lawn bowls are available for use for members and as part of paid lessons. All other necessary equipment is provided by the club. Feel free to use your own lawn bowls if you have them!

Is Lawn Bowling the same as Bocce?

Bocce and Lawn Bowling are cousins but have some distinct differences. The Bocce Ball is round whereas the Lawn Bowl is round in only one direction and elliptical in the other, giving it a bias and causing it to curve. Second, the Bocce Ball is thrown under hand, like softball, and the Lawn Bowl is rolled.
