Bowling on green refers to a traditional lawn bowling game played on a smooth, grassy surface known as the green. This type of bowling is typically played outdoors and involves rolling biased balls towards a smaller target ball, called the jack or kitty, positioned at the opposite end of the green. The objective of the game is to place the balls as close as possible to the jack and score points based on the proximity of the balls to the target.
Bowling on green requires strategy, precision, and control. The players, or bowlers, take turns to deliver their balls, aiming to either hit the jack or position their balls strategically to block the opponents' shots. The balls, known as bowls, are usually made of wood, plastic, or other synthetic materials and feature a weighted bias on one side to influence their trajectory.
Bowling greens are carefully maintained to ensure a smooth and level playing surface. Regular mowing, watering, and rolling are essential to guarantee consistent and fair gameplay. The green is typically divided into playing areas called rinks, where individual games take place simultaneously.
Bowling on green is a popular recreational sport enjoyed by people of all ages and skill levels. It promotes social interaction, physical activity, and mental agility. The rules and techniques of this sport may vary slightly between different regions, but the fundamental principles remain consistent.
