Lawn Bowling


I stopped by the Castlemaine Bowling Club to watch for a while. This is a significant game for Australians. Every town of any consequence has a bowling club.



It is clearly a great way to socialize. The games were co-ed and filled with conversation. Granted, most of the conversation was about the game, but there was more.


It is very much like curling only here instead of sweepers, the balls are not symmetric and as they slow will curve since the center of mass is not the geometric center.


It is really fun to watch the balls curve into the spot the bowler chose.
