Lawn Bowling

Lawn bowling is played on a green that is surrounded by boards to create a long rectangular boundary. Lawn bowling uses biased or specific spheres of bowls that play a part of the strategy when trying to come closest to jacks placed on the green. Lawn bowling is popular in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Scotland, Canada and New Zealand.

Pattern crochet for lawn bowl cover?

I couldn't find what you were specifically looking for--a crocheted lawn bowl bag? Am I right? I'm not sure exactly what you were requesting, as I never found something which explained what you meant by "cover."

The best I could do, was to come up with the idea to use a crocheted bag. So, I have attached links to various free patterns.

If you are wanting something to put a single bowl into--like a ball-shaped cover for an individual bowl, I have also attached links to ball patterns. Just modify the ball shape to have a closing--something like a draw-string for the top, or a button-closure for the middle of the ball shape, to give you a couple of ideas.

In a singles lawn bowling game how many points do you need to win?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on how the heads up scoring is setup. If you are just bowling heads up, then total pin count is all that is important, this would be scratch. If you are bowling with handicap, you take the total scratch pin count and add handicap, the higher score wins. If you are bowling in the Peterson System, with a per game point system, then the person with the most points at the end would be the victor.
