Extractions: Links Bowls historians believe that the game developed from the Egyptians. One of their pastimes was to play skittles with round stones. This has been determined based on artefacts found in tombs dating circa 5,000 B.C. The sport spread across the world and took on a variety of forms, Bocce (Italian), Bolla (Saxon), Bolle (Danish), Boules (French) and Ula Maika (Polynesian). The oldest Bowls green still played on is in Southampton, England where records show that the green has been in operation since 1299 A.D. There are other claims of greens being in use before that time, but these are, as yet, unsubstantiated Images show antique set of wooden bowls from

Books On Bowls. Index Lists books, videos and DVDs, indexed by title, author, country, decade and subject, sources and contact details. http://www.booksonbowls.co.uk/
Extractions: Welcome to the latest monthly update (October 2010) of 'Books on Bowls' - a unique resource of books, videos and DVDs on bowls of all the major codes. My aim is to make the site as comprehensive as possible to ensure that we have an authoritative record of bowls media for our great game where none existed before. Although no brand new books came to my notice in October, Rolled Gold , the autobiography of well known Australian bowler Kelvin Kerkow, published in December 2009, came to my attention for the first time. It tells the inspiring story of a young boy who contracted the rare Guillain-Barré syndrome and developed the determination and persistence required to excel in life and in lawn bowls. It brings to 12 the number of titles listed in the Biography section. Be a Better Bowler , published by the New Zealand Bowling Association (as it was then called) in 1977 is a small instructional booklet that deals with advanced aspects of play. In it reference is made to Guide to Bowlers , a precursor of Be a Better Bowler by the same publishers, that covers basic instruction.

Extractions: Alpha Index Index by Sport History Bits Forum ... Search Lawn bowls, also known as lawn bowling or bowling on the green, is considered a quintessentially English sport. However, it probably originated in France. It may even have been brought over by the conquering Normans in 1066 or shortly thereafter, though there's no documentary evidence that it was. Like Italy's bocce and Provencal's petanque , lawn bowling originated in a game played by Roman soldiers, in which stones were tossed toward a target stone with the object of getting as close to the target as possible. Roman legions introduced the game to countries throughout the empire. Over time, the stones were replaced by balls that were usually rolled, rather than thrown. In France, the sport became known as boules , from the Latin word for ball, and the English world "bowl" came from that French root. The oldest known bowling green, in Southampton, England, dates at least to 1299, although other greens claim to be older than that. Henry VIII, himself a bowler, in 1511 banned the sport among the lower classes and levied a fee of 100 pounds on any private bowling green to ensure that only the wealthy could play. The main reason for the ban, as for similar bans on other sports, was that able-bodied men were supposed to spend their spare time practicing archery. The king's proclamation also noted that arrow-makers and bow-makers weren't being productive enough because of the time they wasted on bowling.
