Lawn Bowling, unlike 10-pin bowling, is played outdoors on a very finely trimmed grass lawn, with approx. 5-inch diameter "bowls". The bowls are slightly heavier on one side than the other so that as you bowl them, they curve from a straight line towards the end of their travel and make it much more interesting that just doing a straight shot. A lengthy explanation of Lawn Bowling can be found HERE
