Whether on manicured greens, artificial surfaces or mats, bowls is truly the sport for all. It's easy to learn, affordable, social and FUN! As we say here in Wales:

The Sport For All -- The Sport for Life!

There is historical evidence to substantiate that Sir Francis Drake played bowls, but whether the story of Drake finishing a game of bowls at Plymouth Hoe in July 1588, while the Armada was sailing up the British Channel is fact or folklore is not know for certain.
