Lessons in May & June
Bowls is a game of skill and we enjoy showing people 'how we roll'. Our introduction to the game is a hands-on approach teaching how to deliver the bowl, some practical game play strategies, and basic rules. Bowls is easy to learn but takes a lifetime to master. Our hope is you will enjoy the game, and become a member. Are you interested? We invite you to visit the Greens by appointment. Experienced members will be on hand to ensure you understand the sport and will provide personalized guidance. If you enjoy t, membership fees are only $155 and equipment is available at a nominal charge. See our FAQ | Space is limited to 4 people per session. Look forward to seeing you soon! |
History
Our sport has been an active part of Osoyoos for 75, and larger Canadian cities, for over well over 100 years. Its longevity is that it not only offers a personal challenge, but is an affordable, social, and an easy to learn activity. However in North America, it lacks televised exposure and large audiences.
Around the world; and for many centuries, the game bowls is an institution.
Historical amusing fact: as a lawn bowler, King Henry VIII was dissatisfied as his bowyers, fletchers, stringers, and arrowhead makers, spent more time playing the game than practicing their trade. So anyone wishing to keep a Green had to pay a £100 fee, and the King forbade any bowle play outside a designated area. Then in 1617, King James I issued a publication called The Book of Sports, and although condemning football (soccer) and golf, bowls. It took a few hundred years for the ban to eventually be lifted and allowed to play bowls and other games of skill.
