What Is Wrong with the game that is Lawn Bowls?

Question

Why do people when i tell them that i play lawn bowls always seem to laugh because i am 21 and im playing a game that is perceived as being an old mans sport, there are plenty of young people playing the game these days but some of them are ashamed to play it or tell their friends that they play it in fear of being teased about it?

Answer 1

I love the game even though I am pretty rubbish at it. My view is always...'Don't knock what you never tried.' And never be ashamed to say you enjoy it.

Answer 2

Whats wrong with lawn bowls? who cares what anybody thinks.  You enjoy it thats all that matters.  Listen I'm an astronomer and a wild life photographer who happens to read books with big words in 'em i also like computers and computer games I'm 36 and work in construction, i've heard it all.  I'm a peeping tom who watches p**n and i use my telescope because I'm a perve who likes to watch neighbours undress.  20 years of this c**p and everybody who says the same thing thinks they're the first to say it!  I meet every smart as's comment with an equally offensive comment "yeah next time i'm pervin yer ma make sure shes got clean knickers on, fuc'ks sake i could count the corn in her pants!"  let them tease all they want but sometimes teasing is just jealousy masked as a dumb put down. But you'll find once you hit them back with a scathing remark they'll suddenly become interested in your hobby or pastime.
