Did you Know ?
History reveals that the oldest UK Bowling Green still played on is in Southampton, and has been in continuous use since 1299.
The most famous historical link with the sport recorded is that of Sir Francis Drake of Spanish Armada fame. As on July 15th 1588 he is reported as saying “his game of Bowls upon Plymouth Hoe had to be completed before he transferred himself to the Man O War sailing ship to engage the enemy” The War was won although he lost the Bowls game.
