I enjoy social bowls. My favourite place to bowl is probably at Paddington- Paddo Bowls. It's entertaining, it's fun, and my friends and I have had birthdays there. Watching bowls is also relaxing.
I went to watch the Putney Tennyson Grade Five Men's Team play against Merrylands. Merrylands is a fairly big bowling club, whereas Putney is a small club. Bowling can be both social and competitive. John McWilliam, the Chairman of Putney Tennyson Bowling and Community Club says "Everyone sees it as an old person's sport but it's not….It's easy, you can have a laugh." I also brought along my camera to take some snaps of this competitive 'old person's' game, and it was really enjoyable to chat to the bowlers.
The cream Putney uniform: I think it keeps in line with traditional bowling fashion...
The bowlers: watching, waiting, resting.
I had a fun day watching the Putney men play competition bowls: warm weather, interesting to see how different people bowl, and good RSL food!
The week before the Putney Tennyson Grade Five Men's Team beat Baulkham Hills 6-0. This time they lost to Merrylands 0-6.
