THE BASICS OF LAWN BOWLS"
The Objective of the Game
The object of the game is to deliver bowls closer to the jack (the small white ball) than your opponent to earn the right to score points. The player or team with the closest bowl to the jack earns one point, or "shot," for each bowl closer to the jack than the nearest opponent bowl.
Game Formats
There are three game formats:
SHOTS – In this format, a game point is predetermined. In Singles championship play it's 21 points. As scoring bowls are called "shots," the first player to attain 21 shots is the winner of the game.
ENDS – In this format, a game is comprised of a predetermined number of ends, ranging from 15 to 21. The team with the most points after playing the predetermined number of ends is the winner of the game.
TIME – In this format, a game is played for a predetermined period of time. The team with the most points at the end of this time period is the winner of the game.

Mike I don't know why the bowling balls don't role straight, you need to send those back and ask for new one's
It's not the bowls...... It;s because your one arm is longer than the other....

Let's not compare Alfie's Bowling arm to that of a haggis.....
