vji m v economist suntribune sports thursday dec 12 2002 u top bowlers 30 to 40 years old from page 18 bowl and explaining the bowls differ in size and weight which is why most lawn bowlers own their own sets of bowls mr zazzara allowed me to roll a few bowls putting the clubhouse at considerable risk the bowls think of a fivepin bowl ing ball that has been somewhat squashed are weighted on one side to allow them to curl as they roll toward the target in this case a small white ball called the jack the object of the game is to place more of your teams bowls clos er to the jack than your opponents following mr zazzaras directions my first bowl rolled in a strangely satis fying arc and came to rest about four feet from the jack my second attempt was better the bowl nudged up against the jack more laudatory comments from the sidelines on the third try i launched the bowl with the weight or bias on the wrong side and the missile rolled off the carpet and rumbled loudly across a sheet of steel set in the floor in the far corner of the building laughter from the side lines overall however most of my attempts came to rest within five feet of the jack i doubt it was because of any innate ability on my part mr zazzara showed me where to aim the bowls he talked excitedly about the games strategy theres a lot more strategy than in curling he said in curling the house the target stays still in bowling the jack moves around you always plan about three balls ahead although lawn bowling is usually thought of as a game for seniors mr zazzara adamantly rejects the theory most of the better bowlers in canada today are between 30 and 40 or even younger he said for anyone wanting to try their hand at indoor bowling the newmarket club offers memberships of 35 for residents and 45 for nonresidents mr zazzara and other club members provide coach ing and playing times are available dur ing the day and evening for more infor mation call mr zazzara at 416-787- 4517
