Welcome to the best of both worlds: Physics and Lawn
Bowling...together at last; a better combination than gum and nuts!
Lawn Bowling is a game where a group of people, in teams or individually,
attempt to roll croquet-like balls at a white ball in order to see who
can get their ball (or bowl) closest to the white ball (or jack). It's
a bit of a silly game, but that can be attributed to the funny people
who popularized it: Europeans. Enjoy the site (and don't be offended
if you're one of those "funny people" listed above.)
For those of you unfamiliar with the great sport of lawn bowling
(also referred to as lawn bowls), feel free to learn the history and/or
rules of the game:
