New Edition! Revised & Expanded

If you love lawn bowling, you are going to enjoy Yes, I'm in Love with Lawn Bowling - a book written by the former Canadian National Team member On-Kow Au.

She gathered most of her materials from interviewing over 30 Canadian bowlers. The book includes personal life stories, and covers a wide range of topics such as: what talents are required; the choice of bowls; various skills in shots and strategies; tactics in singles and team playing; how personality affects bowling; the art of partnership; advice for bowling in different weathers and funny stories on the greens.

The book also reflects another merit of this sport. A bowling club is one of the friendliest places on earth and usually provides an excellent mix of social and physical recreation. A feeling of camaraderie is an integral part of lawn bowling.

Yes, I'm in Love with Lawn Bowling is written purely for easy and leisure reading. To make it more interesting, the writer adds a lot of comic drawings in line with each topic.
