If at first you don't succeed, instead of blaming the bowls or someone else, why not ask for some coaching?

COACHING DVD.
Our club owns a DVD called “Coaching Lawn Bowls – The New Zealand Way”.
You are very welcome to borrow this, maximum of seven days, there is no charge. It is a “must see” for all new bowlers and those wanting to improve their bowling. It demonstrates correct technique, shows bowling strategies to practise and illustrates common faults.
Please contact any of the coaches if you want to borrow the DVD.
