The
sport for all active adults
Down
under in Australia and New Zealand, lawn bowls is simply
called bowls, and is played by many folks of all ages, both
indoors and outdoors.
But
in what other sport can a 75 year old beat a 25 year old?
Can women consistently play with men? Are mixed teams the
norm? Have an active social side? Require little or no practice?
P.S. Probably the most inexpensive sport in the country! Annual club fees are mostly in the $100 range.
