Bowls

Bowls is a precision sport in which the goal is to roll slightly asymmetric balls, called bowls, closest to a smaller white ball called the jack. Bowls is usually played outdoors, on grass and synthetic surfaces. However, flat-green or short-mat bowls can also be played indoors on synthetic surfaces. Bowls belongs to the boules sport family and so is related to boccia and pétanque.
