What is Lawn Bowling Etiquette?
Be on time.
Greet your teammates and opponents before the game, and shake hands after the game.
Be quiet and stand still when someone is bowling.
Observe the rules of possession. Once your team’s bowl has come to rest, move out of the head and off the mat.
Enter the mat from the left and exit from the right.
Congratulate good shots.
Don’t applaud lucky shots, don’t complain about lucky shots, and admit a lucky shot with good grace.
Do not say thank you for a bad shot that goes your way.
Avoid interfering in the head until the results have been agreed upon by the Vices.
If an umpire is called, move away. Their decision is final.
Be a gracious winner and a good loser.
What are your club rules?
While on our green, please abide by the following:
Flat soled shoes must be worn.
Do not drop bowls on the Green.
Alternate rinks and direction of play to reduce wear and tear on the Green.
No alcohol allowed.
