A Message from President Ernie
Greetings Northwest Bowlers!
Fortunately, lawn bowling is one of the few sports that is safe to play during this pandemic. In fact, our rules of play (Laws of the Sport of Bowls) directly support social distancing. Consider law 12.1.1 “Players at the mat-end of the rink who are not delivering a bowl must stand at least 1 meter behind the mat” and law 12.1.2.2 “Players at the head-end of the rink who are not controlling play must stand behind the jack and away from the head if they are members of the team which is not in possession of the rink”. These laws require distance between players on the green. So, just following the ‘rules’ and limiting interaction on the green goes a long way towards keeping you safe while enjoying a game of bowls. All clubs except Tacoma have opened for play; please check their websites for guidelines and restrictions. I doubt that we will hold any Division tournaments this year. Meanwhile, get outdoors whenever you can - stay safe, stay sane, stay healthy.

This perfect World Indoor Bowls shot is the most electrifying non-darts sports highlight in British history
|
By Greg Gottfried
It has the majesty of the best British sports, the calm demeanors of the Jeopardy GOAT competition and the spirit of a March Madness upset. How exactly Nick Brett made this once-in-a-lifetime shot against Scotland, we're not sure. His partner, Greg Harlow, gave him the right directions, but still...The angles. The speed. The spin. He only had "six inches between the two bowls." British sports at its best. It all adds up to a miraculous moment, which is only exacerbated by the emotion of the crowd and announcers. The duo went on to win the Open Pairs title at the Just World Indoor Bowls Championships 2020 and was promptly given a trophy that is essentially just a large blue cup. |
