Growing the Game – A look at the numbers
Bowls is evolving — and our clubs are too 💚
28% of clubs now have artificial greens, up from 22% in 2018.
It’s about creating more opportunities for people to play, keeping greens accessible, and supporting clubs to meet the needs of their communities.
More flexibility. More connection. More bowls.
