Bowling Green Management and Maintenance by Lloyd Woods

A vital ingredient in a good game of bowls lies in the quality of the surface.
Greens keeping is as much an art as it is a science.

This manual is written by long-time greens keeper and National Greens Advisor,
Lloyd Woods. His objective in writing the manual was to convey some of the
"science" in layman’s terms and to expose the reader to maintenance
techniques and procedures which have proven to be effective.




The manual is 60 pages of information covering topics such as:
*greens construction,
*soil structure, 
*mowing, 
*de-thatching, 
*fertilizing, 
*disease, weeds and other problems 
*leveling, 
*rink play, 
*equipment maintenance 
 *preparing for a special event 

 It also includes a detailed maintenance schedule that covers the entire season.

Complete Guide to Starting a Lawn Bowls Club

This is a comprehensive guide for any group interested in developing a
lawn bowls club in their community or for groups interested in
refurbishing their existing facilities.

The manual gives an overview of the game and how it is played, and goes
on to explain the technical aspects of constructing a natural turf lawn
bowling green, installing drainage, irrigation and lighting systems and
addresses club house design and construction.


BCB is hopeful that the manual will provide the technical information needed for cities,
municipalities and communities to foster and promote the sport of bowls.
