06/11/26(Thu)18:01:03hello my fellow lawnsmen
06/11/26(Thu)18:06:29should be a pretty good tournament
06/11/26(Thu)18:12:44Obligatory info for new players. Know your terminology well
06/11/26(Thu)18:29:29Certainly the most famous story in lawn bowls is about Sir Francis Drake and the Spanish Armada. On July 19, 1588, Drake was involved in a game at Plymouth when he was notified that the Spanish Armada had been sighted. The tale says his response was, “There is plenty of time to win the game and thrash the Spaniards too.” He then proceeded to finish his match and the British Navy soundly defeated the Armada (edit. the dummy thread is up). There is a lot of controversy as to whether this event actually took place.

get him on
06/11/26(Thu)19:27:53>>155126692
I agree for different reasons. Pétanque terrain can be anything it doesn’t have to be flat or cleared of obstacles and the entry skill level is significantly lower making it more egalitarian in both cases
06/11/26(Thu)19:29:08Mexico should go on with this score some goals

I'd say the skill floor is a lot lower but the skill ceiling gets very high, especially if you're playing variants with more distance between the throwing point and the target
