What is Barefoot Bowls?

Barefoot Bowls is a fun and social way to find out how to play our favourite sport with a few of your mates!
It’s lawn bowls gone casual.
No experience necessary – we have members on hand to show you the basics and give you handy hints and tips. It gives you the chance to try your skill at the game of lawn bowls, whilst enjoying a fun night out.

• Bare feet, thongs, casual flat soled shoes are all allowed
• The Club supplies you with bowls, jack, mat, and free coaching
• A sense of fun and a willingness to learn something new
• Casual dress

What else do you need to know?

• Players pay $10 each/week – this covers your game and supper afterwards
• 6:30pm for a 7:00pm start, games conclude at 9:20pm
• The Club provides a sausage sizzle before the game

Beginner basics

• The larger ball is a bowl
• The small white ball is the jack or kitty
• The aim of the game is to get your bowl as close to the jack as possible
• The Bowls don’t roll in a straight line, but in a curve
• The bowl has icons on each side – Keep the small icon on the inside when you bowl your bowl
• You stand on a mat (supplied by the club) and bowl from alternate ends
• The green consists of a number of rinks. You play on a rink
