The Basic Costs of Lawn Bowling

While it’s true that you can invest as much as you would like to into this lawn bowling hobby of yours, there really are just a few basic costs that all bowlers will have to pay, at least if you plan on playing on a regular basis. Here are some of the most basic costs you can expect to pay when playing the sport of lawn bowling:

Bowls: You can get a good, used set between £40 – £100. A new set will set you back about £250.

Membership Dues: Generally around £40 annually.

Green fees: Generally around £75 per year.

Shoes: These do not need to be special lawn bowling shoes but they must be flat-soled and are usually preferred to be white. A good pair will probably cost anywhere between £40 – £100.

Measure: This is so that you can tell the difference in length between different bowls to the jack and determines the winner of the match. They generally cost about £30.

Bowling Bag: A necessity not only for your bowls but also your shoes, sunscreen, etc. They can be found in the price range of £50 – £100.

Chalk: This is so you can mark the bowls that have touched the jack. Chalk generally costs less than £1 but spray chalk, which comes in a tube, costs about £6.95.
