Bowls at Club North Haven

 

Home to over

200 Bowling members

The club is home to over 200 bowling members and a favoured destination for travelling bowlers. We have several bowls teams, fully accredited coaches, two synthetic greens and one all weather undercover green.

Environmentally, the synthetic greens do not rely on chemical treatments and their reliance on water is considerably less than traditional greens. In an area of permanent water restrictions, and despite the Club's use of bore-water, the synthetic greens are a welcome inclusion in the area's conservation efforts.

Useful Tips

  • Keep your weight on the balls of your feet when taking your stance on the mat.
  • Your feet should be facing the proposed line of delivery.
  • As your arm drops under the weight of the jack/bowl, take a normal walking step forward, swinging your arm as a firm pendulum beside and close to your body.
  • Backswing equals height of arm in front of body during stance.
  • Release the jack/bowl 15-20cm forward and to the side of your front foot.
  • 90% of your weight should be over the front foot, stay down in follow-through with palm facing upward, along line of delivery.
  • Watch jack/bowl for approximately 5 seconds then step forward and off the mat.
  • Any correction needed is worked out before stepping off the mat.
